Honda 125 Twin 1977 This has been in a collection for decades and has never been on the road in that time. The speedo is showing less than 100 miles. It is in amazing condition and surely the best available. It's had an MOT although it's...

Yes as of the 1st of this month 😁

Tax free lucky barsteward.

Finally got myself a Ninety 1984's finest 😬

Top tip, dont buy a land rover:) What have you bought?

I'm not overly fussed about the mot remaining to be fair. It's the no tax that excites me.

Cheap porta power off ebay are quite good.

I quite like that.

Early Bantam Jeep

The Wilks Bros had the pre production run chassis galvanised. Rover dropped it on cost grounds and the thought that the "Land Rover" would only be a gap filler until other post war car design's came along. The Prototype Land rover was based on...

Always satisfying when you fix something and it stays fixed.

Closing the loop. For those curious it turned out to be rear main. I purchased a 2.8 seal and installed it and no more leaks.

Just fit a new battery.......

Need to check battery voltage after standing overnight, it really does not take much for a d3 to sulk due to a weak battery. My last weak d3 battery went on my old series2, still on there with zero issues 3 years later, yet on the d3 caused all...

Google landrover pdf, if no luck message me later and I will send you the link

I don't see why you'd buy one with springs when you can buy one with air. Sure air springs need replacing, but so do metal springs. It's generally quite reliable unless you ignore leaks, dash warnings etc

So you want to spend £2-5k on a D3, use it as a daily, take it green-laning, but not spend lots on maintenance and repairs? Good luck! You might get lucky. You need to find one that has been loved but is still cheap(?), so as @lynall says, I’d...

For the first 8 years all repairs done on the drive Now have access to a pit, which makes it easier, but still could be done on the driveway Susp failts, replace dessicant in compressor a few years back, currently front bags drop overnight and...

Top of my head torque converter recon 1.4k, a few sets of tyres 2k at least, they like to eat tyres, 6x injectors 1.2k due to unstable idle, quite a common fault, just last month mot fuel tank skid plate 250 quid, battery 120 quid, this is its...

Here we go again :rolleyes:. Look if you couldnt sort the "small" problem on your D1 then how are you going to approach a D3 with all its tech? Buy a Jimmy and have done with it. J

I have had my d3 for ten years and reckon 1k a year on parts alone! that includes tyres etc. £700 a year road tax, 25mpg average. Never failed to complete a journey under its own steam. That said if something big goes I reckon it will be the end...
