    Which engine is this?

    This engine is currently for sale on fleabay, the seller is claiming it is a 2.5 from a 110. Could those with the encyclopedic knowledge tell me if it is a 2.5 or what I suspect that's it's a late 2.25. Thanks

    Series 3 My new 109

    Hey if you were to move up here to within sight of the Scottish boarder you could buy a farm for the price of a 3 bed semi in Basingstoke!

    Series 3 MOT Exempt ?

    I wonder if when you re-confirm the exemption you need to declare that the vehicle is in road worthy condition.

    Spoke to a manager at Land Rover service dept.....

    I managed that trick on a series 3 dash, fortunately it was a Nokia 2110 (the old brick with a pull up aerial) and it survived the ordeal with a small dent. Always marveled at the fact that it managed to find the hole as series windows do not offer a very large opening!

    Series 3 MOT Exempt ?

    One thing I have not had an answer too, is how are insurance companies going to view vehicles that have had no MOT test within a 12 month period? My worry is that over the next few years there will be a few accidents involving MOT exempt vehicles where insurance companies refuse to pay out on...

    Actual Worth vs Sellers Expectations

    When I was buying my 90 it was more about finding a seller with realistic expectations than finding the vehicle that was right. As you have said 90% believe the hype and are asking 30% - 40% more that the vehicle is actually worth. I saw one 90 close to me listed for a week each time re listed 7...

    Wolf wheels best way to paint.

    What do you jack against? I tried under the rear cross member and the landy just went up and the bead remained unbroken. I even tried under the garage door lintel and all that happened was cracks appeared in my brick work! Gave up after that and used a tyre fitter!

    Wolf wheels best way to paint.

    Sorry, no pics of me doing the job, the wheels were a bit scabby with rust so I took them more or less back to the metal, treated them with rust converter, then two coats of HMG Etch primer in three spray cans, then two coats of the DB Enamel with a brush inside and out (Used about 500ml's). The...

    I actually fancy a new Exmoor trim canvas in "stone" with side windows, think it would go well with the wheels.

    No, just masked round.

    Wolf wheels best way to paint.

    Picture of the finished result. Went with the David Brown synthetic white enamel, slightly surprised at how "off white" it was, more of a 'stone' verging on 'beige' but the quality is good and the colour is growing on me.

    Rear Tub Capping Question

    Unfortunately I have a 90, but I think I have read on here that you can cut down a 109 to make it fit a 90. My cappings are actually in very good condition, I just like the galvanised look, will keep my eyes open for a 109 tub close by! When you did the swap with yours did you relocate the rear...
