Some brilliant repairs there Ian! Very neat work! Your chassis will have a new lease of life once finished. I went over all of mine with the wire brush for grinder and it did take it back to bare metal really well ready for paint, didn’t take too long, messy though! Rust dust everywhere. Great...

Good progress again Ian! Doors sound decent! I toyed with the idea of replacing mine but opted to keep originals for the time being. Every little helps right enough, I started off well then sort of went off track towards the end with all the small things adding up!

Making great progress, I stripped my loom out of chassis leg when I replaced the rear half chassis, I plan on putting some extra fuses in mine next week in the passenger underseat tool box then repacking with new cabling from there to the rear. Your chassis doesn’t look too bad at all! Doing well!

It’s easy enough to get carried away! I was the same, you have a look at a few then get worried you’ll miss out on a decent project, before you know it you’ve bought it! I see your in Scotland too, I was lucky I got mine in Perth only an hour away from me, saved me travelling too far!

Hi, just been reading through, your making fast progress, good on you! Just to hopefully put you at ease regarding your v5, the previous owner of my series 2a said he sent the v5 off in feb when I got the landy, however I never received and I actually sent off For a new one and paid the £25...

Hi, nearing the end of the restoration of my 1968 series 2a and I bought two caps for the rear hubs from paddocks, is there any tips or tricks to removing the old as they seek absolutely solid from all the years being on. Any help appreciated. Cheers, mark

This was us at loch Tummel last weekend! As already said not many places to go off road. Police came along this really quiet road to ensure no one was parked on road at night as its became a recent clear way, they were happy as long as you were parked off the road and as mentioned as long as you...

Your 110 looks cracking! Enjoy!

Update so far.. not had any time to work on the landy over the past 3 weeks or so so got back out last night and got the bulkhead and floor panels etc all final coated with paint and gave the rear tub one last coat. Hoping this week to have the sides and roof finished prep ready for paint so...

Hi Steve, thanks for your reply, first I've been on the forum in a few days, I was actually trading the car in on Saturday and was trying to get it working before hand, in the end I didn't. A mechanic told me if you hear the clicking but it's not opening then it tends to be the actuator like you...

Can anyone tell me if a hard reset of a discovery 4 would take off engine management light? Would I just remove negative lead for 20mins or so? Thanks

The suppliers name of the etch primer and high build primer was Churchill paints, that was from e bay also.

Yeah I got it from ebay also, I had visions of ot turning up and being like gloss paint in consistancy, but i would also highly recommend it same as Disco1bfg, I gave each coat a quick light rub down 24 hrs after, but It went on smooth enough that you wouldnt really have to. Highly recommend...

Hi Al, it was tractol enamel, I got the 5lt in marine blue and a litre of limestone for wheels and roof, not sure if it will be enough for sides also. It was brilliant paint, my first time using any enamel, I thinned it around 10% and it went on great. I used etc prime first then a high build...

Looking for some advice on how to open and get into my disco 4 boot, the button just makes a clicking noise then doesn't open as it normally would. It happened a year ago and i managed to give it a few pushes in and out and it opened and it seemed to work ever since. What's the best way to get...

Thanks. The more I'm looking through I'm sure these are unf. Thanks, hopefully get my brakes back together shortly!

Can anyone confirm if there's are metric or imperial ? Many thanks for any help, minds fried trying to work out threads!

Thanks for your quick reply, what confused me was that I tried one of the old unf males that I took off the original and it still didn't seem to fit the thread, that's what was confusing me. So do you recon the britpart flexis must be unf and that's why they are fitting the cylinders? Il take a...

I've fitted britpart overhaul brake cylinders all round and at the stage of connecting brake pipes up. I replaced them al back to the 4 way splitter at the brake pressure switch union. So I have imperial on that end at original spliter and I have changed all the other ends to Metric, however...

Cheers Marmaduke! It's landrover marine blue but does look a bit darker in the photos. It was after 9 at night when I took the photos so less Light showing up the colour.
