You don't mess around do you Michael? Clearly, you're going to end up with something really good. Keep us all updated!

What a dreadful experience! Thank goodness you survived . It'll take a while to get over this but in the meantime, stay safe.

Lynall's dead right. You do need to treat your chassis and bulkhead annually. I too had faith in Waxoil and Hammerite but have come to the same undiplomatic conclusion mentioned earlier. Both have their uses, I coat my lady's pond heron with Waxoil and use Hammerite on some external metalwork...

Replacement outriggers are readily available and not too expensive, though pointless if the main box sections are rotted. I would inspect thoroughly before lashing out on a complete replacement. Litch's earlier post, where he discovered his old chassis was relatively sound, is salutary. My 1991...

Welcome. Sounds like a great idea. Hope you post how you get on. Good luck!

Sorry to hear of you good lady's misfortune. She sounds a girl after my own heart. I wish her well soon.

Everyone to their poison.

Live for the day. Enjoy your vehicle. Think about it nearer the time. Have fun!

How to be quite well off.......... Be well off and buy a Range Rover It would seem..... Your good Lady has a point.

Like you Michael, that bird had taste. Looking forward to following your progress.

Welcome Zippo, Looks like a handy Landy. Hope you have good fun in it.

I echo everything huddy and lynall advise. In my case, a 200 Tdi, I change oil and filter every 3000 miles. I've been doing this for 24 years and the engine still attracts positive comment from Mot and other interested observers. I'm more relaxed with the fuel filter though, changing that...

I can see why people like it. But Defenders like mine are an anachronism; retro is a dead end. What we need is a capable, rot resistant, reliable and fixable platform that is easily adapted for multiple uses. I favour something like the new Defender only cheaper and less complex. That it is a...

First of all, thanks to lynall, frog hopper and Beneagles. Lynall for his advice on riveting, frog hopper for his note of caution and Beneagles for his advice on choice of tool. I have heeded you all and am pleased to have completed the task without mishap. In the end I went for a hand riveter...

Well done Doc Dan! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine. I bought my 110 as a work tool at an auction in Exeter some 24 years ago and it just grew on me. I've pumped Waxoil, sump oil, and linseed oil into all hollow places as well as coating the underside since the beginning and it is...

Hi AH, From what part of you unit is the Leak?

I don't plan to make a career out of it so that may well be the way forward with a better chance of coming out of it with my fingers. Thank you lynall and frog hopper, you've been a great help. Thank you for that Beneagles. 20 projects, and 30 years, Would make me very happy! Cheers

I'm going to have to keep my wits about me, if I can remember where I left them.

Thanks for the warning frog hopper. I am no stranger to getting things wrong!

Thank you lynall, I shall follow your excellentl advice. I am quickly becoming a master of bodge! Cheers again.
