New starter fitted. As expected, it didn’t go without issue as it is a landy! One of the turbo studs sheared, needing drilling and tapping. The mechanic said a few choice words, which I won’t repeat! And a couple of extra earths were added. But...

Hi and welcome!

Righ hand side of tub skimmed with fine filler and block sanded to smooth out any small dents

Ordered a tidy looking old wanner off eBay. Thank you 👍🏻

Out of interest, which specialist did you use?

Got one already. I’m adding another from engine to chassis. 😁

I use JC4x4 near Thornbury.

Tub underside all finished, etch primed and then undersealed with gravitex stone guard, ready for primer and paint. Will start on the outside next flattern then fill and block sand.

MOT Yesterday Passed! No advisories 😃😃

Cheers for the warm welcome, a fews pics with just a bit of ankle on show

Hi and welcome! Nice disco. Good luck with the insurance. I remember the high cost of insuring my series 3 when I was 17 (over 30 years ago now…)

Hi and welcome! Don’t forget some pics of the Landy…

Hi and welcome! Fantastic looking Landy! Always good to see an early one and better still that it hasn’t been shipped to the States!

Well, I'm nearly 66 years of age and I had thought I'd got all this out of me and I could live a normal life. For nearly 20 years I've been addiction free and taking it 1 day at a time, every day has been another 1 day away from addiction. But...

Chinese imports by European and UK brand at European prices just more profit and to hell with the quality as the Chinese cut the corners for the same reasons greed is rife and we are the mugs paying for it

What did I do today? Well started off investigating a headlight earth issue, found the connection at fault and now I have 2 fully working headlights on the 110! Then I binned the points/condenser and put in an electronic ignition kit, with a...

3hammers & a gas hammer… Best tools in you box

Drop arm ball joint replaced, bit of a ball ache (get it 🫣), but got there in the end! The atb diff helped mask the problem a little, but it got to the point where it was getting silly! Back to cornering on rails!

Some pics of the re positioned Track rod protector thing. I could lose the washers and make a proper Alloy spacer plate, or, I could have just thrown it all in the bin... You Decide... I also have fitted a cheap Alternator triggered Tacho...

The 90 is getting the starter changed over this week. And I’ll add another earth from engine to chassis to help with starting.

Went to go out this morning & Motobike failed to run… Get in the landrover & as normal starts up & runs like a dream. 30 miles down the motoway and cruises well. Sat on a course all day,then 30miles back home. Gaffer taped a few holes up in the...

Just pulled up to the shops on a hill and nearly ended up at the bottom 😂

Left the 90 at the MoT station and got the call after lunch saying it had passed with no advisories - very happy. All my hard work at the weekend sorting the wipers and lights paid off. The garage also advised me that I was losing coolant from...

Was quoted similar by a company in Bristol, which included return delivery.

It is a shame so many folk, and not just farmers do not take basic care of their vehicles. A good clean underneath once a year and when dry a spray of preservative goes a long way. I was doing similar work on mine recently and all bolts that...

Hi there, I’ve been lurking for some time as I’ve been looking at disco 1-2 but not really got a chance to get hands on with anything. Been fixing my own cars for 20 years, mostly French stuff, some Japanese and latterly some German. So...

Finally sorted out the heavy steering issue. The Landy has been almost undriveable the past couple of weeks, I was worried that the PAS pump or box was on the way out. Thankfully, turned out to be a seized lower steering uj! It would move freely...

Hi and welcome! Nice disco. Not many around now.

New 1.6mm ali inner wing liners cut to shape and ready to be panel bonded and rivited over the original wings to give a smooth as new finish to the inside of the tub, also bonded 2mm sheet to the original floor here it is with some weight on it...

Out for a drive. Found the handbarake was set too good and was dragging for a bit. Stopped & re set the cable all good now.
