Try to do what is posted. I’m sure you can buy the oil bath filter which is as designed by LR, but the metal elbow that connects the rubber tube from the filter is unobtainable. You’d have to scavenge one; not easy in Switzerland. eBay uk?

Unlikely to be the drive train with those noises. I agree as posted it’s more likely a brake problem. Have you inspected the axle? It could be related to a collapsed or failing backing plate which holds the brakes against the axle.

Or a knackered coil

FFS are you ****ed? The radiator was has drain plug .

X2 if you’ve got a die set it’s definitely worth it. A new manifold is expensive. Have you got the brass set screws out of the manifold exhaust? Worth refitting them with the manifold out they are cheap to buy. With the manifold out you’ve got good access to the starter motor. In saying that...

Try either KINROSS 4x4 or GEM 4x4. The latter are in Larbert which is central Jockland just of various motorways.

Craddocks or Paddocks for sparepart. If you’re hoping to get a garage to do the work add another £5K for ****ing about labour. Maybe cheaper.

Possibly the worst Diesel engine ever. A bag of sheite invented as a supposedly logical follow on to petrol ⛽️ version. If you are considering a landy refurbishment get hold of a petrol 2.25l instead.

Sorry for the radio silence, had a log in problem . As posted just carefully unscrew , wipe clean and refit. Hi

I carry a 3 ton bottle jack for emergencies but prefer a trolley jack. The small point of contact and loading makes me nervous grovelling underneath or even changing tyres.

Bollocks. They are the holes for the external mud shields. So you need to order these too from YRM with the mounting brackets and screws. Britpart sell them but YRM are better. The fact you asked suggests your original ones have completely rotted away. I would recommend fitting them cos...

It’d its a “deluxe “ bonnet with a wheel mount its simply a drain hole for water.

Sorry if I sound negative. I think you’ll discover a lot more after 30 miles. It’s inevitable in an old vehicle but it’s a journey! Side light fittings cost £3.50 plus vat; I’d be more careful dealing with the dashboard wiring. Unless you’re comfortable doing it get done by a wiring mechanic...

Just had exactly this problem. Cleaned and reset points and plugs and changed the coil and condenser. Running great now.

Don’t spend anything more on it, just sell it. There’s no point or added value in tinkering with painting etc. Value is in the eye of the buyers; it’s a proper landy and that’s how to sell it, let someone else spend another £4K on sprucing it up.

That’s an interesting vehicle, photos would be great.

It’s the tappets. It’s normal that they tick loudly when the engine is cold. After it’s warmed up you shouldn’t hear them. If they are audible when warm you should check the tappet settings and engine timings. Do you have a workshop manual?

Oh contrare Bobsticle. As posted that’s the correct fitting for an adjustable drop plate. The angle iron is bolted underneath the cross member. I knows cos I paint it every year.

Your description just sounds rusted up. Easily said on line but it’s a common problem (me) m. I’d follow as posted advice to free up.

Power cutter with a narrow blade and try to get above the nut. Even then as posted they’ll be seized with rust-bish bash bosh time with a hammer. They look badly seized.
