1992, 200K. It's barley had the newness wore off it.

The build you are referencing used a 1 Ton spec chassis. Although very heavily based on the standard Land Rover of the time it was a separate model and very distinguishable from a standard Land Rover, if you carried this out the chassis spec would no longer match the V5 (spec as in shape, it...

Pistons fully retracted?

The obvious answer is to rebuild this vehicle. DVLA is clear that new chassis needs to be like for like replacement and new. Admittedly there is very little chance that it would actually cause you a problem but it would be a bugger to go to all that work and have a problem getting it road legal.

Bulkhead fully stripped yesterday, Classic Bulkheads have suggested a turn around in as little as 8 weeks if I can get it to them before Christmas. I've got transportation arranged for Wednesday Front springs are a mess. U bolts on the off side needed to be cut. They were under a lot of...

Looking for advice on replacement brake cylinders (slave and master) for my series 3 rebuild. Whats considered best price against quality these days. Back in the day Britpart was all that seemed available and the quality never felt that great. Is there anything else available.

I used Nordlocks on a job in Aberdeen this year (and subsequently one in Liverpool). The engineering and safety guy specked them. They tested spring washers and nylocks. They are astonishing but we had about 4 thousand nuts to tighten (all torqued to the correct value) and it was a difficult...

Bulkhead off and almost fully stripped. Funny how things go, it took 3 hours to get the steering wheel off, I was expecting 3 mins. Snapped several of the webbings in the process, done it in the past no problem. However front drums came off very easy, since they have not been off for at...

So the question is, would it be worth searching ebay with the Santana part number to pick up a cheap second hand unit, anybody know what the Santana part number is or where is may be found?

Well some may describe this as a foolish dream but better to have foolish dreams than not to dream at all, so I take my hat off you to you and wish you all the very best is this endevour. Very little experience of series 1s so I can offer no help/advice but please keep the forum updated. The...

I once took my parents to visit some relatives on two camping chairs in the back of my 109, they were placed sideways side by side so my parents could chat more easily and use the wheel arches as foot stools. They found the bench seats un-comfy. A 500 mile round trip. I can't imagine you'd get...

Bulkhead out today. Be at least a week before I can get back to the Land Rover to fully strip the bulkhead but little and often. And from the sublime to the completely bloody ridiculous. It's actually nearly 34 years ago that as a teenager I bought my Land Rover. It was my second car and...

Lead time is not an issue I'm in no rush.

Transport not included. I've patched the foot wells in the past you can see evidence of this in the pictures and to be fair cutting out the old foot wells and replacing with the repair panels offered for sale would be a easy and cheap fix, but I'm keen to have it galved and that in my opinion...

That was the initial plan but I replaced the chassis with a fully galved one well over 20 years ago now and it was kind of nice not to have to worry about rot issues for the foreseeable future so I wanted to repair then galve the bulkhead so at that point it's weather it's cheaper/easier to get...

You'll see much worse bulkheads and is certainly salvageable. Foot wells are shot:- Door pillars are not to bad Top section under is sound no issues around the vents, it's better under the window than this pic shows that's just surface rust.

Very helpful thanks. I was sure there would be some Catch 22 situation that to get the tax class changed I'd need MOT and insurance but not which is good.

Hi All, Rebuild started on my 1977 Diesel 109. I'm looking at replacing the bulkhead with a reconditioned galvanized one, seen a few online anybody have any recommendations. Good or bad. And Owned the vehicle over 30 years, taken off the road about 10 years ago (got married and my wife could...

Hi All, New member here, having owned the same Land Rover (1977 Series 3 109) for the past 34 years it's now undergoing it's second rebuild. Chassis replaced in the first rebuild (over 20 years ago now) bulkhead will need replacing this time. Have questions about MOT exceptions and refurbished...
