    Greatly saddened to hear this terrible news. My thoughts are with you Brian.

    Whats happened to the Landrover.net forum.

    The funniest thing I ever saw taken out by a sweary filter was 'weight watchers'. Only the two words were combined into weightwatchers, and it filtered the middle out. :D Mind you, diet IS a swear word. Now, spell checkers get my goat. I misspell words deliberately on times, and get narked when...

    Headlights

    One reason I don't like spahetti....the fact its like vehicle wiring, smokes too (well, if I cook it, it smokes). And, another, separate reason. It's foreign muck.

    I bet the wires jumped off by themselves just to screw with your mind.

    Yep, what they ^ said.:D Lose the /forum.php bit off the end of the link posted earlier will get you to the actual home page, where you find the link to the temp forum. But you're used to xenforo anyway with using it here, so need to visit to see how it works! I need the practice though...:p...

    To be honest, updating to halogen was one of the best upgrades I ever did..with relays for both dip and main beam. Better than the candles in the wind I had before!

    Series 3 door sill 1983

    Is that the sill with the seal that the floor bolts to, or the body work sill? I can't remember the part no.s, and too lazy to get up and look in the book...be fair, its in the other room. If the body work one, have a look at sp landrovers, they have them, and pretty much the same price. They...

    For any who wish to visit LRUK, the new domain can be found here (Rude of me to do that you may say, but I have placed a link here there. And, I did ask first!) Edited, amended link.

    Now LRUK is back up and running, I too would like to thank all at LandyZone for their patience while LRUK got back on its feet. I also shall continue to visit here, I like the variety. :D

    Series 2 Landrover series 2a new chassis?

    Wonder what the delivery price is like...

    Alternatively, once you checked the lamps, check the switch, the copper connection for high beam and the courtesy has a habit of stress fracturing. You can drill it, and put a little bolt in to fix it, but to be honest a new switch is a lot less hassle. Just make sure it has the same plug...or...

    series 2 a wiring loom

    Not at all....one of them is supposed to dangle and arc off the chassis in wet weather. I made my own looms. (copied the sizes from what was left from the original, and added a bit on the tails so I could cut to fit.) Put the cabling where it fits best. Didn't route it to the back up the inside...

    Series 3 Sudden Gearbox Noises - Any Guesses?

    If you put the transfer box in neutral, fire it up and select the gears in turn, you can have a listen to the main box on its own. Might help to narrow the field down a bit. My money is on a uj though. Sounds like somebody whacking the gearbox with a spanner!

    Series 2 Landrover series 2a new chassis?

    I don't know if I would buy a galvanized chassis myself, thought about it, but not sure I would. My main reason would be remembering how many rotten bumpers I have replaced, and they are heavier, and probably better galvanized. If I did, I think it would have to be etched, painted, and waxoiled...

    Black sealant for bell housing grommet?

    Dumdum isn't supposed to set, but does skin over, so probly not that. There's some grey stuff between the floors and seatbox joints, and between panels...that kind of sets, probably something similar. Still don't know what it is...:) That yack on a roll...I've not had a lot of luck with that. I...

    It might have been Dum Dum, but you can't get that now. Shame, it was good stuff.

    Series door hinges

    Never actually seen rocky mountain ones, but I think they are all alloy, think the military ones have steel in them. Mine too...sliding front pane would be handy tho.
