Hi all. Well. I've gone and booked a driving test, and planned to take it in my landie, but my landie keeps clicking and won't start first time! Is there anyone out there that would come to mine, and sort this out today or tomorrow? I've spoken to one mechanic who is fully booked up, and it could be a solenoid issue, or it could be bad grounding. Either way, I have no idea how to sort it. Of course, I am looking to pay for the 'service'. Thanks in advance! Frank. 07805 719274

Also does anyone on here local to me, have a spare bulkhead lying around. I need a new one.

Hi there. I have been out and about in my landie, loads of fun out in Islefield and Cuckfield up the hills and bumpy roads! Now. I need some advice. I have to change my spark plugs, got a new set of champion RN11YC ones. Where to have it tuned? I live in Crawley, so anywhere around here good for this? Also, going to change oil, change oil filter, air filter, and would really like some tips on upgrading my carbs. I really know jack about engines, but I know this much. I want my v8 to gurgle. Not splutter like a tractor. Oh yeah, and got my wife a 1993 3.5 V8i Disco this week. 1000 cash, 69k miles on the clock. Not bad eh?

Thanks guys. I know it's a little dirty under there. Need to take it to my friends, get under it and jetwash. Find out where the leaks are. Marvellous eh? Road tax going on tomorrow. Insurance starts at midnight. Already found someone to respray it. Now looking for some nicer wheels.

I need the screw in plug for this hole!!! When I bought the Landie it was missing!!! I am looking at the following item on ebay, is it correct? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DEFENDER-90-110-MAGN...bayphotohosting I already bought one wrong plug and this guy doesn't reply to email so don't want to but the wrong thing again! Oh and the Landie is about to get it's first lot of road tax in 4 years!!! One more on the road! Look forward to meeting some of you and going mud churning.

I have used a lot of them. The best one, by far, is 'FILE SCAVENGER'. I was planning to setup a business recovering lost files and corrupted file systems. Not got around to that yet.

I had an idea. Well as my LR sits idle at the moment, the battery has died on me. So. How about this. I am thinking of fitting a switch on the side of the passenger seat box, that I can flip off and on to isolate the battery when I park. That way I won't drain it with whatever is doing that, and it also acts as a very confusing immobiliser for would be car thieves!

Will do! Probably take it for a steam clean.

That's my engine. It has two rubber hoses looping back. Are those the things that come off to improve hp? I also have to look at the carbs, I read somewhere else that they restricted the power, no, I tell a lie, a friend told me that.

Is this only at stores? Nothing on their website. I want one!

Will do. Too dark and too late, and her indoors wouldn't be impressed if I went outside having just got home from work. I'll check to see if it has all the things mentioned on here.

Only just made it roadworthy last week. It's taken that long! I will use it off road, of course! I want to paint it black, change the wheels over for some alloys or something cool looking, and of course get a roll cage, upgrade the interior, sort out the door frame bottoms as they are a tad rusty, but not terrible, sort out the window frame at the bottom corners where it has rusted through and some numbnut has 'fillered' it! I will most certainly be taking it out for mud runs! I heard that these V8s are 'restricted' and can be 'unrestricted'. Difference of about 30hp. Right or wrong?

Well, only passed it's mot last week so not had a chance to do anything in it yet. It's been 'sitting' at a friend's workshop for several months, and prior to that, hadn't done anything since 2003 when it was last taxed! I plan to use him for off road adventures and as my main and only drive. So, I will be looking for an LPG kit soon. And Si, I will have to pick your brain no doubt. My first jobs are to get it tidied up around the windscreen where there is some rust, and of course the door frames could use a look at at the bottoms, and I will be repainting him gloss black, also looking for some black or alloy wheels to replace the original landie wheels.

Hi everyone. I'm Francis and I just joined yesterday. Looking forward to learning loads from you all, and having good chats about our beloved Landies! I have a 1984 110 County 3.5L V8, which I bought in Crawley last year for 485 squids. 440 more squids brought him up to roadworthyness and got the mot passed. A deal eh?
