Yes, also an option! I have the goods ones lying around, just in case! Worst case so, if you break a prop shaft, it is not the end of the world neither!

So that's why my transmission tunnel is welded in... Maybe I am just panicking, and having one of my bouts of wanting new shinney stuff or projects. After all, the LT95 is considered to be bomb proof, right? Either way, after quickly checking on Ashcroft, even the LT77 gets obsolete, or rather...

They quite dirty meccano sets so! Worst case I can imagine: find a 5-speed RRC gear box and transfer case (easy enough), exchange for the, by then broken, LT95, replace the prop shafts (easy and cheap enough). The trickiest bit would be to fit a new center consol, or modify the old one. That's...

It's an old dual carb one. Chassis has close to no rust, there some surface one and one spot on the right rock slider, nothing serious. The body needs some love, no rust, but pretty beat up. And a paint job wouldn't hurt neither. Two, or so, years ago I investigated refurbished / refurbishing...

Hello everyone! Well, I reached again the point where I have to make a decision: do I keep her or not. Last time, I was very much leaning into selling, and didn't, this time I am very much leaning into keeping. As opposed to last time, I want to make it, please don't laugh, rational decision...

Manifold to pipe. I like the idea of clamps, a quick suoerficial search for new exhaust manifolds either returned NIL, tubular ones not compatible with the exhaust or prices above budget. We'll see, she's due for a garage visit anyway to sort out the timing issue.

Me? No, I have barely time working on it. She's off getting the ignition timing sorted at a garage anyway over the winter, and going by how bad the manifolds look, I'd might just add that to the bill. I was, again, ready to sell it. Boe there are two trips on the horizon, Tunesia and Iceland...

Ah, so no MOT... Same ignition timing issues that were, more or less, solved after JLR botched the cam shat installation. I say botched, because it started after that, so the timing chain isn't mounted correctly. Luckily I found a mechanic that, in his words, isn't affraid of tackling it over...

Nice images Mark, especially number 1, 3 and 4! As or the rattle and vibration, I just loosened everything, knacked the exhaust around a bit, after a small knack it floated freely. Only two location where touches a heatshield, just barely, and the chassis, it seems. Some more pushing and...

Ok, I have one last question, and hope someone can ease my, well, unease before going on a 220km round trip to the testing station. When I installed the new exhaust, the right tube going to the manifold was a pain to fit, really really tight. I followed the manual, starting from the rear. I left...

Ha, found it! There are self-cutting nuts, e.g. from Würth. Only need to find someone who sells those in quantities <1000!

Sooo... The new exhaust is installed! Not leaking, as far as I can tell, and it looks great! Once I'm done with my, dare I say well deserved, beer, I'll clean her up a bit. Tomorrow carbs, lights and checkong of the missing paper work and findings from the last MOT / TÜV. Just one thing: One...

How comes I need two weeks for a two hour job? Well, either way, I redrilled the flanges for the new exhaust yesterday, those shoupd fit (I didn't have the courage to try today...). And, today, I cleaber each and every leaky joint between transfer case, gear box, engine and oil cooler thermostat...

Money already spent as well!

Nice one! And if you park ot next to a Classic, you can still see the common heritage!

Today's plan was: - remove the old exhaust - replace the clogged fuel line - install the new exhaust As you might have guessed, this plan didn't survive first contact with reality. The old exhaust needed some serious convincing with the angle grinder to get out, that alone took 1.5 hours...

Doesn't look too bad optically, besides the obligatory upper tailgate. I love the wrench stuck on the rim!

Depends if you are color blind or not!

Fully agree on green hydrogen, that stuff is so usefull for all kind of things!

Yeah, I spend my entire career in supply chain, and once you realize where all our stuff comes from and goes to you become a cynic. There are different degrees of bad so, getting rid of the worst is good even if enough bad remains. This subject is a pet peeve of mine, so please excuse if I go...
