Welcome back!

Block your Landy in and report the incident to the police.

I had the same with the 2.5 petrol in my old series 3. I stripped and rebuilt the carb which cured it for a bit but ended up fitting a new genuine Webber carb which cured it. I never found out which part was to blame.

Hi and welcome!

My Indy uses the services of a guy near Stroud who does both welding and chassis swaps. His company is called Mac Welding. He does quite a lot of discoveries. The welding on my 90’s chassis was very good.

Hi and welcome

Hi and welcome.

I’d be getting a new battery. A battery with a two year guarantee which is already four years old is on borrowed time in my experience. You may stretch it to last this winter but for peace of mind, I’d replace it. Mine failed several times until I replaced it with a much bigger capacity one.

I always liked the petrol two and a quarter for the series landies. Have you considered a 2.5 petrol engine? Not cheap now and very sought after but a very good engine.

Isn’t that what you’re paying the garage for?

I had a front chassis section and crossmember from these guys fitted two years ago. The quality was very good.

Hi and welcome!

There are lots around. Don’t buy in haste.

If you buy something already “modified”, beware of it having had a hard life. Better to buy on overall condition and not lots of toys and extras bolted to it. Best to take someone with you who knows these vehicles if you can and look at quite a few to get an idea of what is good and what isn’t.

Hi and welcome! Nice looking Landy too!

There’s a set of 4 for sale in Bridgwater on fb marketplace…

Agree, £10k is too steep. It’s also someone with a family connection so I’m sure you can get it for much less. As Mick says, an MoT shouldn’t be too much of an issue to start with. And it’s got farmers wing syndrome!

The exhaust had sheared at the elbow below the turbo where it joins the manifold. It was welded back together by my indy specialist. No more rattling exhaust.

I find there’s never a right place but there’s always a really inconvenient time or place!

Hi and welcome! Sounds like a good project. Don’t forget some pictures.
