Heritage, Adrian Flux..

The seller will do as little as possible to get it through the MOT...

NO................

Agree..... keep in mind to get in to prep/weld and fabricate you will be 1/4 there of the effort of swapping the chassis anyway.

Awesome, I wasn't expecting so much change at the rear....What wheelbase is that ? looks longer than 88"

Welcome, certainly sounds like an interesting project.

I dont agree.... With a Defender its knowing the weak spots which they all have. Even a good mechanic can easily miss those, miss filler. I paid for a LR garage to check mine over and they didn't pick up on the face the front outriggers were not attached to the bulkhead, nor could they be as...

From the bottom of my heart, take someone who knows Land Rovers.

pics.... whats mpg on lpg, who did the conversion ?

Agree, good job be nice to name them as nothing worse than folk who do their best in a bad situation and get no credit for it.

Their racks look VERY similar https://arbeurope.com/roof-racks/arb-classic-roof-racks/ So a good shout..

Agree on all counts... you have a weird roof rack... but I can totally see the logic in it as it is very low profile but looks a bugger to attach anything to. If you want to keep the roof rack (which I assume you do) bite the bullet now and get some brackets. It shouldn't be too difficult as...

Welcome.......... Norfork..... says it all you should have said......... I want the Ruski accent in the WW3 thread still for JohnM70 right....

Result..... are you saying all issues were that broken spring as the cause ?

Thermostat.... Why wait for antifreeze ? I don't think its freezing anywhere in June ?

Welcome....... I had to look CT up as I wasn't familiar with it. :)

The dealer will fight tooth and nail but you will win in the end. I would just write a letter and say you want refund or you will take it to the small claims court. With the photos/video and the mot history, add to that a summary from your competent mechanic the dealer doesn't have a chance. I...

MOT History says it all really... https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/results?registration=j368xsg&checkRecalls=true Its all fixable..... They mention the underseal which has clearly been put there to avoid the MOT prying eyes.

If your goal is to keep a historic vehicle I wouldn't worry.... tbh there is that much variation and inconsistency in the way rules are applied you will be fine. When a group of us registered Year 81 vehicles for historic some were passed, others were rejected, some had odd dates on the V5 so...
