In the process of my 1985 90 rebuild I'm upgrading the brakes, intending to fit a discovery mk1 rear axle to get the discs. I've stripped both axles and find that the 90 has fully floating half shafts whereas the discovery has fixed drive flanges, I've swopped the diffs and the 90 shafts now fit...

Eventually ordered a Marsland chassis which they will stamp for me (have cut out the chassis number from the old chassis and kept it and cut the chassis up). Also ordered a Mear stainless steel bulkhead. Started refurbing everything, overhauled front axle with new teflon coated spheres and...

I just came across this old thread that I started years ago, to all those that enjoyed slagging me off at the time, the end result was that Landrover fitted me a brand new engine at a £6,000 discount off of the initial quote of £9,500 so I was well pleased. Since then I've had a new mercedes ML...

Evening all My first post (I think, unless I was here years ago !) I've bought an early ninety which I'm intending to do a full rebuild on and then drive for ever. I'm settled on a Marsland chassis and am trying to decide on which brand of galvanised bulkhead to fit; At the moment I'm drawn...

So basically provided the engineer has the same opinion of why it failed as the technician in the dealership then I'm going to go for all of them:) I'm also going to ask VOSA to have a look, in that when the belt fails the thing looses power steering,brake servo and the suspension goes down...

Thanks for all of your replies. I agree that being reasonable and polite but firm is everything. So far I have been offered a 50% contribution by landrover and the quote has gone down by a grand since they became involved. I have an independent engineer looking at it in the new year with a view...

I don't expect them to fit a new engine as I don't consider that it needs one (that's their idea) I would like a new front casing to replace the failed one,and the bent valves replaced. On the basis that a 43k vehicle should last more than four and a half years with regular servicing...

Thanks for the link just posted on there :)
