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?

Looking good!

Its done !!! And Im also done in ! 12 hrs in the man cave, 1lt of etch primer, 2 lts of high build primer, 3 sheets or 80 120 and 400 grit block sanding pads and two bottles of Proper Job IPA and the tub is finally ready for top coat.

It’s got a cataract too!

Change the way I sleep in the rear so I don’t have to remove the roof. As normal take measurement and find the sides Chanel’s stick out so needed a trim back. Now sheet sits on the arches and spare wheel goes underneath. Tidy & level later...

Bish bosh, bit of welding to the bulkhead. I've been looking at the little rusty patch for a couple of years, this week it turned into a little hole. Excuse the ugly welding, but it's solid. The black is primer, a bit more sanding and a coat...

Had twin ally boxes in the rear, I also had a lower tub box before I fitted the cage & truck cab. The box opened upwards so couldnt open it with the dogs in. I made a lower tub drawer system. Open the back door & it was caged so dogs couldnt get...

Did @bankz5152 do some underseat conversions?? What about full slide out draw under the dog?

How about one of those alloy tool box's you see behind the cab in pickup trucks.

Hi and welcome!

When I e-mailed Allisport about the VGT turbo they said they were waiting on Stock which would be around 3 weeks, so I put myself down to be informed when they were available. Then Exmoor trim were doing the Defeater barrier mat system with...

This^^. I am in exactly the same position and could not have put it better myself. 200tdi 110 has been my daily drive since I was 18, I do about 30k miles a year, and the wife's car just feels terrible to drive. they are perfectly capable of...
