Just buzz back to clean metal, degrease, use an acid etch/zinc U-POL primer, then finish with a few coats of your preferred paint. Buzzweld or U-POL Raptor are both excellent. I would not powder coat.

Do not cover over with checker plate. Treat the problem.

It'll be fine. For belt and braces tie a small rachet strap in two places around the lower spring coil onto the axle tube...and just drive gently.

And in English?

1. Buy manual for proper maintenance - try eBay/Amazon for a second hand copy, they're only a fiver. 2. ensure fuel system is crystal clear, new fuel and filters, no blocked lines. 3. make sure distributor is 100% good [do not buy cheap parts, go to the Distributor Doctor for correct parts]. 4...

Take a look on Paintman Panels website.

£17.99 a 400ml can. I normally use PlusGas and then out with the MapGas if things get very stubborn. And for really stuck old pistons in cylinders it's out with the full fat Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola always works on truly stuck pistons. By far the most difficult to remove are the long head to block...

Just looked this up. Will give it a try. Has some quite basic ingredients https://www.innotec.eu/write/bestanden/veiligheidsbladen/21_DeblockOil_1203_en.pdf

That's great news on finding the 86 110 V8. Re' shipping and import, may be Mike at Britannica could help/suggest the right people to use?

Ah go on @Lephreek , you know you want to, it's ever so easy, go on...

We all look forward to seeing the video/videos when you get time.

This is down to the bolt size and grade of bolt + use of Loctite 270. https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/metric-bolts-maximum-torque-d_2054.html If you cock it up and the hub falls off just get yourself a large woman to get home...

This thread's nine years out of date. Much like the people at Arkonik, £176,000 for a slightly modified Land Rover with a shiny paint job. It doesn't even have a roof/tilt...! If you like, I'll build you one of these, but far better, for £126,000 including a new tilt of your choice and HD...

One has to be very careful with outdoor car covers as they have to breath under the cover or whole of panel micro blistering will occur. Halfords, yes Halfords, sell a range of outdoor all weather covers that are low cost and work very. I have the XL size for the Ninety when it's outside. They...

I too am in Berkshire but would not travel that far unless it's a very special Land Rover. You may like to call Simon at Motodrome near Henley. He normally has a good selection of tratters available https://moto-drome.com/ One other point, us southerners usually look after our vehicles/spend...

Snap, have the same in the Ninety. Been using Yuasa batteries in all the cars for what seems like forever. Never had one fail. They're very good.

Welcome Ali, that's a very smart looking P38. Despite being much maligned for their electrical quirks, I see P38's becoming quite sought after in the coming years. A close friend swears by a good P38. He has a penchant for dark Royal/Windsor Blue Autobiography models.

As the guys above have said + can really recommend you look at a few more LR's before you buy. This will give you better 'feel' of knowing a good LR from a mediocre LR. It's always worth looking on Car & Classic as there are always a good selection to choose from. Do take someone along who knows...
