Brilliant, thanks all for the help and advice, my car went off and should be back in just over a week :) Can't wait :D

Woah, well hopefully I won't have to spend that much, I'll just start with the chassis and see how it goes there. The frustrating thing was that I had pretty much got my 90 working perfectly, maybe I should have swapped the chassis before building/repairing what was on the old one :/

Brilliant thank you, I might look to rent a garage somewhere near, that might be the best idea. What parts have you replaced? (suspension, dampers, chassis etc?) What cost for your total build? Thanks again

Is there a good guide to follow giving info on best places to start etc? I might have to have a think if I can do it. Are there any particularly difficult parts/specific equipment required?

Ultimately I would want to fit it myself, but I don't have a drive, my mechanic skills are ok, but have only had the landy a year so not sure if I would be able to do it. Also if I were to spend my time doing it it would probably take ages and I might need it to drive soon ish. The savings would...

Hello! I realised today my land rover hand sunk on one side and after looking found that the rear off side chassis suspension mount has half snapped off! It is about time I get a galvanised chassis fitted and was wondering if any one new good companies that I can compare prices for fitting...

So many options, thank you all!

My wife has fallen in love with the house unfortunately but I won't give up, I won't get rid of the landy but what about the wife? Lol

Lol, I was thinking of doing a rebuild so I guess I could just let air out of the tyres to get it in the garage and then justy forget to put the roof on again

Yes, and once you have got past that there is no height restriction and a huge double garage

Hi all, I am looking to move house, however the new 1 has a height restriction onto the drive and heavy parking restrictions on the road. I probably need to get rid of 2 inche height to get it to fit! I have just bought new wheels and tyres so don't really want to change them, what other...

Let me know if this helps anyone!

Hi all, I just bought 5 tyres and wheels from ebay: Land Rover Defender Wheel and Tyre on eBay (end time 16-Sep-10 05:59:44 BST) I picked them up yesterday, they are being sold brand new from an official LandRover dealer for £85 each. They are very good tyres Michelin latitude cross 750...

Thanks again, I have bought 1 lh and 1 rh one but I think I need to get another, where the drop link meets the wheel is that a LH or RH track rod end? I will buy the lemforder one to replace that 1. Thank you!

Brilliant thank you all, I've got the parts on order so hopefully will be giving it ago in about a week,amd have brand new tyres and wheels to fit once the job and the tracking is done :) thank you all

that's not a bad idea at all, seeing as the items only cost about £4 each and about £4 of postage, I might aswell make it worth while and get both. In my landy manual it seems like an easy job, it is pretty much just a case of unbolting etc the old one and putting on the new, might have to prop...

Hello! Just put the defender into the garage for tracking due to uneven tyre wear and have been informed I need a new track rod end - estimated by them to cost £100 to replace. I know I can get this part for around £5, but have noticed on the parts they mention L/H or R/H, does this refer to...

Brilliant! Thankyou for the help! Gives me a few more options, thank you :)

I think I'll just have to give up with the size I currently have and go back to a more common smaller size for a slightly lower price
