Just spent the past 2.5hrs undoing and freeing up one front radius arm bolt, one more to go tomorrow. Seriously thinking about taking up stamp collecting as a hobby instead!

Hi and welcome! Nice collection of landies! Don’t forget some pics. We like pics.. 😁

No experience of any companies as such as my 90 will benefit from the same at some point. I know one of my local independents does chassis changes using Richards chassis amongst other mechanical work. Worth asking your Indy for a quote, although...

It's a V8 - not much silencing. That's a mobile phone holder - bought off eBay. Pete

I just use AirPods when needed

I removed the radio as I couldn't hear it 😄 Can't see me putting one back in unless I change the engine or massively soundproof the vehicle (neither of which will happen). Pete

Where you going to fit the wireless? Sorry, in car entertainment.

Fitted this. One of the switches may not do what it suggests ....... Pete

A disco 2 on air springs won’t wallow like you think. Definitely worth considering unless your mind is set on a disco 3. But then a low spec on coils will also wallow like a disco 2 on coils.

I’ve had two bulkheads galvanized so far and had no issues, if they do decide to drill a hole I can always fill it in with lead solder before painting, I’ve used this method on galvanized front bumpers to fill in the end cap holes. Beauty with...

As the weather is so bloody awful today think I’ll hide in the garage, plan is to patch up the bulkhead to tunnel cover (sand blasted revealed a few holes) then straight out the tunnel panel, clean up the heater box and fan and get everything...

I think it’s a case of buying a disco 3 and hoping it doesn’t become a money pit…

I have the feeling you want something that doesn't exist, also no one sits at 85mph on the motorway anymore if you want to keep their licence. 200tdi will sit on the motorway at 70mph no problem. Now you don't want diesel as its too slow, you...

Mot on Monday so thought I'd best patch the holes in the passenger footwell. My Dads brill at all sorts of fabrication so he welded and answered the million and one questions my 10 year old had, lovely to see! It's a bit of a bodge but if it...

As did I this time round but it was a few years ago when I first bought the D2 Nice of them to do, probably because its costs them roughly £250 a unit 🫣 Mines a few years old now, easier to drop it down the workshop and have it done same day...

Exciting Easter Friday! Finally got round to sorting the slightly warped exhuast manifold, shockpy yes even the CJM Manifolds will warp given enough time. This one was on my old D2 now on my 110, probably covered closed to 60k at least and I...

A disco 2 will fit the bill for your requirements. A V8 will easily keep up with traffic on lane 3 on the motorway. So too will a Td5, although I suspect you want speed over economy. They don’t eat brakes or suspension like a disco 3. I’ve had a...

A friend of mine had a disco 3 and her experience put me off getting one. Aside from the ridiculous excise duty, it had two failed TDV6 engines. After the second failure, unsurprisingly it was sold. This is probably quite an extreme case but both...

Some of the jobs I missed off new rear prop , poly bushed rear trailing arms couple wheel bearing, new diesel tank , new battery box , timing belt , new water pump & p gasket, upgraded clutch spring

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...
