  1. find a series 3 109 scrap tub, nick the cappings, cut to size and re weld. Send to be re galved if needed. Much better quality😀😀
  2. Last year I had a Bulkhead, 2 inner wings, 4 or 5 under tub supports, radiator surround, tub cappings and loads of other brackets (basically filled the back of a 130 ) galvanised for the grand cost of £80 something + vat.. I also paid maybe £50 to have everything that needed sand blasted before hand. Hope this helps
  3. I used old beer crates and bits of wood, just kept lifting one end, then the other until it all lined up, then pushed it into place
  4. Here's mine.. not galved, but a 30 year old chassis, blasted, 2 coats of primer and 1 coat of raptor.. probably outlast me, for about £600
  5. Not the best pic in the world, but I fitted a slick shift to my defender, and found by co incidence that the shorter throw let me fit a mud dash without cutting anything
  6. I've had the misfortune to see quite a few of these on the road lately, and from the back they are the ugliest thing , in my opinion , I've ever seen..even co workers who are not into land rovers have commented on how odd and out of proportion it looks. But what do you expect from a company who seem to have forgotten who there core customers are.. can you imagine a cherry picker mounted on that. or hauling a load of logs, or animal feed? Or maybe that's not the customers they want or need these days
  7. In total agreement with a lot of the previous posts, the radio advert for the new discovery talks about all the wonderful tech gizmos to connect you to Bluetooth etc, but makes no mention of off road capability at all By the way, it's also the most staggeringly ugly car ever produced, I followed one down the M42 today and couldn't get over how mind blowingly horrible it looks from behind From the same company that produces the F Type Jag, which is, I think, the best looking new car on the market I also believe that Special Vehicles are moving to a new site FWIW
  8. I've just used one of these to cut the rear cross member off my 110. Really impressed, I drilled a 70mm hole with a hole saw so I could see the wiring loom, and then went for it Dead easy to follow the cut line, and the blade was just long enough to cut the full width, although I did cut from both sides Lovely clean cut with no grinding or messing about after Only used 3 blades, but 2 of them bent Hope this helps someone cheers Rick
  9. just going through this with mine, I lost the key blade so bought an used ignition lock with two keys off e bay Tried to reprogram with britpart lynx, but it asks for an 18(?) digit code, whereas the code inside the key fob is a 6 digit I found a website that converts the 6 digit key no to a longer 16 (if I remember correctly), but still missing some no.s The advice from the supplier of the lynx was to take my logbook to a main dealer and ask them for the code, which was going to my next step, but not holding out much hope Hope someone can add a bit more to this Rick
  10. I think they were built by Lairds/Cammell Lairds on Anglesey.. I know I've seen pictures of them being tested on a local mountain Havant the Dunsfold collection have one
  11. Could it be the light switch on the steering column? Had a couple of these fail Rick
  12. Thanks rovernut. I think the extended towball is the way to go as I moved the fitted one down one set of holes, but it's too low really, it did just to move the trailer, but wouldn't like to use it with any weight on it. is the type approval needed because of the sls, because mine's been converted to coils. ( but only till I get round to refitting the airbags) Thanks again Rick
  13. just measured my 110 second row door, 30 inches, just above door handle. does that help
  14. Oh bugger.......that's one I hadn't thought of. Since its a 90, then obviously it falls under the newer regs.. Oh well , another grand plan out of the window never easy is it? Rick
