Given the resources of the RN, are they supplying a vehicle and other logistics? I’m a cynic at the best of times, but it’s a big ask for a stranger to give or loan a vehicle to a group of strangers for such a purpose.

Puncture fixed at ATS. It took a fair amount of weights to balance the wheel though!😂

It’s a cursory word of warning once he starts poking around underneath. It doesn’t take too long for paying someone to weld before a significant part of the cost of a new chassis is reached. But yes, the finances will dictate what action is taken.

The rot is always worse than it first appears, especially when you start poking… As a minimum, I’d look at a rear quarter chassis. Would you consider a galvanised chassis? It would be a better bet in the long run.

I picked up a slow puncture on Friday. I can’t get it fixed until Tuesday due to availability of the local tyre place so I’ve been pumping it up daily. 🙄

Hi and welcome! As mentioned, YouTube and guides online are available. I’m sure a kit can also be purchased to make a hatch to access the pump. Good luck with it.

Hi and welcome! Nice looking Landy too!

Hi and welcome! I can’t help with the core plug as one has not gone on my 200Tdi. Have you run the engine whilst stationary and watched for a leak?

Hi and welcome!

Hi and welcome! Nice looking Landy too!

Personally, I think the light bars with 4 or 6 lights look better than the single light bars. Probably worth keeping an eye on eBay and FB marketplace for a used 6-light one to come up.

Would it be worth buying a cheaper roof to cut a hatch into, keeping your original roof?

Looking good.

Looks like a copy of mine when I got it!

Hi and welcome! Very tidy looking Landy! I’ve got a 90 of the same age with a 200Tdi.😁

Hi and welcome! Nice Landy too!

Looking good! And I’ve got garage envy too!😁

Alternatively, coincide fitting it with a replacement windscreen if you get the chance.

That’s the idea, yes. Self tapping screws.

Hi and welcome!
