Oh? Looks like a Mondeo in drag to me 😁

As Wolf Pack suggested, if Merlin has nothing the only other place to check with is RLC. https://www.rlcarchive.org/VehicleSrch2?fbclid=IwAR2gtKZX4NhxzI0_0qIB2W9wx_Mu0x7iHUi24FzXrGQiJq-l6qJlY8vBnL0 I only got a couple of dates for places my 101 had been to in addition to what Merlin had on it...

Nice, i nearly bought one of those, but ive only ever owned one Jag, a 1966 S-Type 3.8 but i think i'd prefer my Disco 1 ES with everything on it to your X-Type. It's the most comfortable long distance car i've ever driven. Plus you could go mad off road in it and i spent an hour opening up...

Farm implement????????? You do know there is such a thing as TOO MUCH comfort! ;)

No acolol involved. Just having a shufty online when i should have been going to bed. The alarm went off at ten to four this morning, a bit earlier than normal to give me some potential 'break down' time as i was taking the 101 into work today. Last time(first) it broke down four times on the...

Fools... You should walk away from those petty pretend 4x4 things and look at a Series or Defender. At least the bits that rust are made out of thicker material. :cool: Or if you want some comfort, go for a Discovery. The Disco 1s are all mostly rot free... They only rot on their inner and...

MM4x4 at Martin Hussingtree, Worcestershire have got a 101 GS for sale https://www.mm-4x4.com/forward-control-101-35-petrol-1976-30901-p.asp

Go to the bay and type in the size and drive of impact socket you want then choose how much you want to spend...

I bought a 3/8 Snap On ratchet for a fiver from a carboot sale. After using it discovered there was a tooth or two missing so i enquired about the so called lifetime warranty and would it be valid for a carboot buy with my cousin who is a mechanic. He said to drop it in and he'd speak to his...

I suppose you could get the curve back if you used a clamp at the top of the uprights to maintain tension and hammer the other face from the back with a dolly with it resting on a sandbag or something similar. I wouldn't use your thigh. Don't laugh, i saw my mate at work doing that with a piece...

Search online for 'land rover military bumperettes' images. Lots of pictures This link shows a natural curve to the outside edge. I would have thought as long as the angles of the uprights(as shown in your pics) are the same and the mating faces where you bolt them to the chassis are flat they...

I picked up a Zeus Series disc brake conversion kit last sunday for the 101. The guy had infected both of his daughters. One had a Series, the other a Defender. Poor girls. Both hopelessly beyond help! 😁

No, because i'd never have bought i new Duffender in the first place. I'd just be happy with a proper one that only broke down within three miles from home once a year and only when the sun was shining but not too hot so you don't get too much of a sweat on walking home for help

I can. The answer would be no! Not even for an immaculate Series 1 The sad thing is i don't think there is a cure for Justonemorelandy Syndrome 😔

It would seem Land Rover reckon you can 😁

I think some of us need to go and seek professional help! https://uk.news.yahoo.com/land-rover-classic-defender-returns-175425980.html

If it's available, why bother? It carried a dye because it had less VAT on it, thus cheaper to buy than at the pump but only in particular applications. EG farm equipment, my mechanic cousin's workshop diesel heater, boats, gypo's vans. If you are paying the same per litre as at the pump, buy it...

That's something you won't be seeing again. They've stopped making it :(

UPDATE: More bleeding then adjusted the brakes and now have brakes. They can only be described as SHlT brakes, but it now does stop. YIPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now i've driven it for a few miles, visited a mate, parked on his new drive, was showing him what was in the various cubby holes...
