Well perhaps I could try and put a pic up but what I was asking for was if anyone knew a local blacksmith or engineering metalworker type where I could take it. Rather pay a ton for a fix on what I have, than half a K for a full set of second hand rims and tyres or whatever off ebay.

Alpine windows and sunroof where vandalised and broken by kids who thought it was a good idea to climb on the roof or whatever.. Basically I need a recommendation for a local wrencher who can service it and put it through the MOT etc..

Thanks for the replies gents. My concern regards getting a new rim is that basically I would struggle to find one that matches the other 3 on the vehicle so it would necessitate a full set.. considerable expense..

Had an incident on the motorway recently when someone rammed my wheel and smashed the front end of their vehicle, probably drifting out of their lane as they rocketed past me at high speed as I was chugging along sedately at 50 or so on the inside lane.. As they disappeared after impact and...

Just basic maintenance really.. Some doors don't shut properly.. Draughts and odd leaks here and there coming in rendering the heating less than stellar.. needs a sunroof replacement and alpine windows.. Servicing, MOT etc.. Recently had a few electrical issues and was stunned for 200 quid for...

I was recently most disappointed to discover that Burnley Car and Truck is no longer in business. Over the past 30 or so years I have relied on this most reasonably priced and accommodating business to work on/ bodge and do pretty much everything in my automotive realm, from basic servicing to...

Hi, I have a problem in that some time ago my sunroof was damaged and I need to replace it. One of the alpine windows was also damaged but I can get a replacement for them fair enough price. However it seems sunroofs are mega expensive. I don't fancy paying 500 notes plus and if I can't get...

My defender 110 station waggon isn't putting much heat out from the heater is this a common problem and if so what can be done? I used to have a 1959 series 2a which was much warmer with a good heater! Obviously, since it is getting chilly now I'd like this dealing with before I go snowboarding...

I have had this isuzi 2.8 equipped vehicle for many years and while it has been amazingly reliable I have been informed that it will not be welcomed at the MOT station next year owing to the chassis being heavily patched.. I am not an expert, but I have heard a chassis replacement is possible...

A bit late, but have just PM'ed you.. Not done this job yet for a number of reasons, but hoping to go ahead soon as possible..

That would be great..

I have a 1983 110 station waggon with a 2.8 isuzi engine in and a lt95 gearbox.. I have heard it is possible to increase the gear ratios to get more speed and better fuel economy. (It is seriously undergeared and I do a fair bit of motorway driving).. Does anyone know a good mechanic who...

Id like to see a list of folk who can be recommended for helping us inexperienced and ill-equipped fellows in our quest for a good landy mechanic..

Thanks, Have sent a pm, was hoping for someone a bit more local though if possible.. Any good wrenchers near Burnley here?

a tank full of fuel weighs about the same as an extra passenger. simple maths would suggest that saving 5% of total vehicle weight may well save 5% on fuel, but in practice, I dont think it saves anything like that amount. When I am towing horses and caravans, fuel economy seems pretty much the...

Im looking for a good mechanic in the locality of burnley, lancashire, who can help me out sorting out my vehicle, series 3 with a 2.8 isuzu engine, needing overdrive or 5 speed box to get it up to speed..

Hi, found this forum again, 2 years on, still have the same reliable landy that has served me well with surprisingly little need for maintenance.. Usually used for transporting wood for my fire, but I am wanting to get it sorted out for family trips, (dont really want to spend money on a newer...

Hi, I found this site looking for off road routes, looks like it could be useful.. I have a hybrid sort of landy, it has a 2.8 diesel engine in it, but its an old 110 and seems to go ok, but I could use some advice etc now and then.. Current beefs are that the vehicle has a leaky fuel tank...
