That's what the sankey is for!

Exactly as above, a normal trailer does not have the novelty or fun factor, and again I have most of the parts to do it. i would need to source everything required for a normal trailer rather than just the hitch.

Because I will have a spare (replaced with galv) chassis and rear body. What else am I supposed to do with them? Plus there is a big “because I can” factor. That is the sort of thing I am looking to do although I think I will stop at the...

If you are concerned about the look then fit a spare wheel cover and it will look original. This is possibly what I would be looking to do anyway just from a security point of view. If you make it look like a spare wheel rather than storage no...

What are you concerned about by having a landrover for general uni life? I bought my 110 when I was 18 with the very first instalment of my student loan. Best investment I ever made in my opinion. I than had it as my only vehicle through...

Completely agree with the above. A 90 can carry people, things, or the dog. But can only do one at a time. And as mentioned any more than 4 people and it becomes cramped and uncomfortable. If you want to carry more than one thing form the list...

Just so you know, if you didn't already, they never made a 1989 300tdi. Post the advert and check it has a vin number relevant to the vehicle. It is highly likely it will have rust, you just have to find it.

At that age mileage is not relevant and you need to buy on conditions. Firstly of chassis and bulkhead, secondly on mechanicals. I have over 400k on my ‘89 110. But only a few body panels have actually done all of that mileage There is no...

I would also question this. having recently put a new britpart alternator on my 200tdi it came complete and ready to fit with the correct pulley already fitted.

It’ll clean up nicely. This was in the same state prior to a cut and polish.

I would agree with the 8k maybe a bit more depending on condition of other things. Although I am not looking for a V8 so these prices will be lower I paid £2250 18months ago for an ‘89 110 station wagon with no v5 (exported but never left) and...

That is why I have a low amp fused bypass on mine. Enough to keep things powered, radio, tracker, alarm etc, but as soon as you turn the ignition on and the glow plug tray kicks in the fuse will blow! You just need something similar for the alarm...

They are but with some work and revealing of the box and dash you can get a reasonable heat output from them.

Thank you John, got you, thank you. Am now learning I should've said a L663. Will give you feedback anyway if I get a resolution.

I have the military anti burst locks so door handle is down by your hip same as the fronts. So it is no issue form that respect not having a door car.

If you'd stop being a Freelanderer your misses would stop knocking you about with it & the pan will last longer. 🤣

10 years and counting on my 110 with nearly 200k miles on them. So I would say the Teflon lasts pretty well!

I ran britpart poly on my panrod for a while, when they fail you know about it instantly, and being poly they are only about 10 min to swap over so I was not too worried about fitting them. They lasted me a couple of year a set with the mileage I...

I (personaly) don't think it's worth £800 You can get everything you need using Terrafirma springs and Britpart Orange shocks for less than 1/3 the price and (I think) it will last just as long and be just as comfortable/usable. Of course you...

You are not the first person to suggest that. I am happy not to have door cards but passengers and the wife, who are used to modern plastic cars, seem to think that is rather uncivilised.

Well, after examination, yes ... This is very well built, good solid relay, nice pc board and wiring with quaity connectors etc. I'll give it a go.

Are britpart making chrome wones again now? There was a time where they only did the teflon ones, although they are reasonable and I have had no problems with them on my 110.

That’s the issue I have found. No replacements or aftermarket seem available for the second row split doors. Only the originals which are either wrecked, in use, or cost more than a whole Land Rover!

I do indeed thank you for clarifying. I have not found anywhere doing door cards for the split door station wagon second row.

Do you have a link, I have the early 110 split doors on my station wagon front and back. I have military door cards on the front but cannot find any door cards for the rear.

In which case you already have the series type military doors I am referring to and have fitted to mine. In which case I believe the antiburst locks along with the correct striker will fit if you remove the door card. Also I believe the military...

The if yoi are getting rid of all of that then your only issue will be the window mechanism and if that gets in the way of the lock or how to cover it if you have no door card. Or be done with it and for the series style military doors. That’s...

I think the issue is with the door card lock Button and internal opening catch. The military ones a like the series style where the inside is a “mirror” or the outside with a curved handle from the lock to open and a small sliding catch to lock...

If you are very new to it all I would first of all think very carefully about what you want to do/carry in it. A 90 is the same external dimensions (length and width) as a golf. You can carry things, a dog, or people, but you can only choose one...

Age and engine type? I would recomend a mid-80’s, model with series doors fitted and a tdi engine conversion. That will get you the closest experience to what @saxavordian is describing and the true Land Rover driving expiriance. Don’t listen...
