Not the first time I’ve heard of this being tried. Well done for raising it.

Hi, Please be aware of the above scam which was attempted on me 2 days ago during the sale of my LHD Freelander 2. Two guys turn up to view - said they were from Cyprus but their car had Romanian plates. They had an F2 which was a write off due...

Hmm, a neighbour says his insurer requires him to keep his in his garage! I have a Second hand X- lock on the gears and hand brake, which makes towing her difficult for a would be thief, since she's locked I third gear. But my insurance don't ask...

Believe it or not I have only a couple on the phone. You will have to wait for some others when I get them off the camera. Just the two of us today, a first timer came along in a 200tdi 90, said he enjoyed the day and would come along again...

Out in the edges of netheravon with flags flying.permissive acsess for work) Not in my normal 4x4 but hopefully won’t be getting stuck…

Hi and welcome! Nice Landy too!

Finally got myself a Ninety 1984's finest 😬

Looking good!

Good afternoon LZ'ers 14 months ago I started working on Leylandi and today it's the first time I've given her a proper wash and wax. She's looking a bit more presentable these days.

Earning its keep today, yanking out some bushes. Ready for some block paving because obviously I need more parking 🤣 Made short work of it, low range pulled them out just over tick over

The best bet is to take your Landy to a couple of specialists and ask them to quote based on any issues they can see. However, be prepared for other issues to be found. As mentioned, there are parts that will need replacing with the chassis...

You rang... The hammocks we used had a built-in mosquito all in one with the hammock (similar to this first hit on ebay: LINK), rollmat in the base (it gets cold), sleeping bag on top and you are all set for a cosy nights sleep. have done...

Been desperately trying to keep it original as I replace bits and get her tip top ready for some major trips. Endless list of jobs to do though.

@dag019 has saved the day and is going to come and take it :)

Very nice! Always good to see a tidy early 90 or 110!😎

So tomorrow, Friday, she is 40 years old. Got excited and pulled my log book out in prep to take to the post office and register it as historic. Turns out Next april is when it becomes Tax free! Doh. It does say that it's MOT free now, but...

That’s a lot of parts now installed and unknowns rectified. I’ve record of the cambelt being done - previous owner seemed to keep ontop of it so I’m content with that. Cooling didn’t seem bad - my temp sender is in the stat housing so think it...

It will most likely be the regulator that has failed preventing the alternator from charging the battery, these are usually replicable if you can find the correct one for your alternator. I have just had my alternator fail and replaced it get the...

I’d buy a lottery ticket if I were you!😉

Decided to make this today. Straps onto the spare wheel a ratchet strap. Plenty on holes for straps/bungees plus some hooks for wrapping/hanging recovery strops Even did a little matching basket for stuff and things.

So far 1/4 chassis, new side steps, new fuel pump, new exhaust. Hope to get it back near end of week

ok.

Agree. Don’t give it away. It will help fund the conversion. Or a weekend away to help keep the other half onside…😉

A few rear body replacement YRM panels turned up today. They were supposed to arrive Thursday but Fedex seemed to think finding the actual delivery address just too much trouble. The seat belt and B post lowers both needed attention. So the...

Thanks, I’ve signed up with GLASS going to look into that now

Try your local Land Rover club or the green lane association (GLASS). They will have a local rep and organise green laning days. If it’s off roading you want, a pay and play site is the best bet unless you join a club and go with other members...

To be fair to them, it’s not just for Landies, and about 50% of what the Landy stalls were selling needed to be weighed in! 😂 I have a small list of parts to find each time, but I also go just for a jolly. My top find today (and probably...

Another good day. The price has gone up quite considerably. It was £7 on the gate two years ago and it is now £12.50!🙄 It was a bigger sale than the autumn one. There were a lot more stalls selling junk and non-Landy things, unless you plan on...

Yes, I went. I was later getting there as I had to help get the children ready for a trip to the in-laws. It was bigger than the autumn event, but likewise there were a lot more stalls selling tat and non-Landy rubbish. Sheepskin rugs, antiques...

I’ve got my ticket for today’s event. Is @zed having his emporium there this time?
