Got mine, ticket printed and just waiting for June:D

I think the twist is that there aint no twist:rolleyes:

I'm a bit puzzled. If you don't know a series from a defender how have you accumulated four? And four of what?

There's people on here that don't even like different versions of their own Landy:p

Yeah, but where's the fun in that? I mean, who needs a driveway that's just one colour. BTW, did you get any of that snow the other day?I know a lot landed on the eastern seaboard, but don't know how far it spread.

Welcome indeed! Like Turbo, I'me the proud owner of a 90, and (apart from not being able to sleep in it) I agree with his assessment:) I'm often over in Midleton, might have a chance to buy you a pint sometime.

I think I have an excuse for a nice long drive this weekend:D

First question I asked!

That's what I thought James, but the clutch doesn't begin to engage until about half way out, as before. Clutch, slave cylinder and bearing are all nearly new, and I had the flywheel face skimmed when I rebuilt it.

Thanks Nobber, I'll give them a call. I'll draw a discreet veil over your sexual fantasies :p

I bottled out of installing it myself, due to the gravel drive, cold weather and general idleness on my part. A good garage fitted them for me, and included a slick shift.So, I would expect them to have set it up properly All other gear changes seem OK, a little stiffer than before, but with the...

Snow specifically, but I would think it applies to deep soft mud as well. Dunno really, just seems logical to me.

I've just had a refurbished LT77 Ashcroft gearbox fitted to my 90, together with a rebuilt tranny box. The garage fitted a spigot bush, but the clutch and slave cylinder were only about 4000 miles old, so these were untouched. Reverse gear is now much harder to change out of, with a very firm...

I've seen info that says narrower tyres are better for snow. The wider tyres skate over the top, but narrower ones bite down through. This obviously doesn't apply in Iceland, where there is no bottom to the snow, but in the UK it seems logical to me.

Quick, get in another 20 posts, or incur the wrath of BB:eek:

Mansfield 4x4 in Bury St Edmunds would be my suggestion. Trustworthy and really know their stuff.

Shirley If you're using axle stands you would only lift one side at a time?

I use a mercedes sprinter bottle jack off fleabay, cost around £35 quid. Chose a good supplier though. I've stood a jack on a large block of wood, but of course would never climb under a motor without it being on stands.

There's a fifth from the copper brake line to the connector on top of the rear axle, if it's like the defender. £55 for a set from Rimmers.

@Pkplonker There is a thread about this, hopefully this link will lead to it. www.landyzone.co.uk/forum/landyzone-12-2016.81/ It is also listed in the forums Great fun the last two years (the only two years!), and I'm going again.
