Thanks, Rich. Could have gone either way ha

I've been awful at updating this. Had a very busy few months so here is an update on where things are currently. So I've sprayed her, and considering the far from perfect conditions, I'm really happy with the outcome. I wanted a very dark matte green. So mixed matte black and olive green paint...

I've searched and checked colour charts but I'm not 100% on this colour, or if it's a custom job. Any help appreciated. Cheers

Ta mate, it's getting there. Yeah I gave it a good clean the other day. Hoping to be painted in next fortnight. I've been given some carpets which apparently will fit straight in. If not some cutting will be done.

Forgot pic!

So the 200tdi engine went in and got finished (had to replace a few pipes and order small bits which took a few days longer than anticipated. Been driving it for a week now and I can't believe it's the same vehicle. Was fortunate in getting a very good engine from someone who had put time into...

Hi Rob, Yeah I fitted the passenger side series 2 door yesterday. Came across a good condition bottom, already had the upper luckily. The defender door on there was very rotten (can't tell from photos) it barely closed haha.

Ah I do like that! I had a Golf which I contemplated ratting but went down the euro OEM route in the end. I'll update as I go with this one, have a few little ideas.

Cheers mate, I know what you mean, my old dear said I should keep it as it is! Only thing the bonnet and rear door has been rubbed down (attempted) and it down to metal in bits and looks tatty, and there is a slight crack in a panel where it's caught something. But I'm going to try keep it as...

Yeah there was a lot of mud in places where a jet wash can't reach, which I dread to think how long had been in there, I was able to clean up nicely. Yeah that picture was bringing the old one out, we did that with the bolt when putting the new engine in.

I'm rubbish at getting progress pics but I did get a few during the engine change. Before and during anyway... Just need a pipe to the power steering and she'll be good to go (hopefully). While the truck is sat in the workshop I started rubbing down ready for a paint job.

Quite aware this is in contention for the most poorly updated project thread! Today I picked up a 300tdi engine, which had been used in a 110, as the original is a little sluggish and not up to the trips I have planned. The chap I bought it off was based at an RAF base in Norfolk, and is...

THIS! Same boat myself mate. I love the imperfections (that's probably being generous)

So not so much an update on the vehicle, but she'd been insured, taxed and on the road for a couple of weeks before i'd been able to take her out. New battery has gone in, and she starts great every time. We took her down a couple of lanes close to home Saturday night, and ran fine all the way...

Hi mate, I've seen you pop up on a few searches about smart car seats. Just got a 90 and the farmers dog didn't get chews or toys and was allowed the seats by the looks of things. So they're top of the list!! Are they an easy fit? Get to battery fine?

Credit where it's due, Jordan was in touch with me regularly and came up with a resolve. Some miss-communications early on was the problem but he did a lot to help. So have to thank him for that. I'm sure he won't thank me for saying this but any problems get in touch with him and I'm sure he...

And I was just thinking, ah NFU sound ok...

Thanks for the tag @neilly. Jordan has spoken to me and I did thank him for trying to help. It's been my contact with their customer services and costs coming out of nowhere which weren't explained, and then refusal to amend the costs... baffling business behaviour. But Jordan's been very...

Hi all, First Land Rover, 1986 Defender 90. Looking at a fully comp policy for myself with 3rd party cover on other vehicles ideally. I'm 26. Have no claims on another vehicle which currently running. I know some policies give a mirror discount based on this so if anyone knows of providers who...

Landy I've just bought didn't come with an MOT certificate, although gov website say's it has 12m. Has anyone got a replacement from a website which offer them to be emailed? If so, can you recommend a legit one? Cheers Ryan
