Hi guys I own a 1986 ex military 90 2.5 NA The other day I casually went to start my landy and it I did the 10 glow plug preheat and it cranked for a lot longer than usual before starting. I didn't think anything of it so I ignored it, the next day it did the same but for longer, and then...

yh i kinda thought it might of been a bad idea to ask that here, ohwell. anyways, you guys think im stupid? i got it for: 3 goats, half a dead cat and a nearly full pack of chewing gum (spearmint), so your gonna have to do better than that im afraid!

hi guys, i was just wondering how much my landy is worth just out of curiosity i have a 1986 ex-millitry 90 2.5 N/A diesel, no problems with it at the moment apart from a very minor oil leak (well lets face it, you have to expect that from a landy), i have done some minor work to it, new...

the way its meant to look! haha great fun!

played about in some mud and changed the colour by the looks of it!

sorry about the late responce Here are the pictures of bullet holes, the first photo is the entrance hole and the second is the exit, i will post more pictures shortly

yeah it is a 2.5 n/a so its a tad sluggish up the hills and top end is 75ish (going down hill with wind behind me) iv had it for just over a year and only a few very minor problems have cropped up so far

i got it from the rugged guide, its deffanatly worth a look at some of his projects! http://www.ruggedguide4x4.com chassis is compleatly waxoiled, new timing belt, respray of any colour i want, about 70,000 miles when i got it, and its ex millitary so theres gun rack and even a bullet hole, i...
