Is there a vin number stamped in the chassis? And is this number a from a UK registered vehicle? This is the bit that DVLA is going to ask. Depending on the answer to these questions, you have to plot your plan. If it is the 110 VIN number, you can't use it in the UK to run a 90.

OME is one of the best of cheap from my experience,
but Recently the FOX light truck versions are amazing value, and very good ride:

I currently have the OMEs at the front and the Foxes at the back, and both I can recommend. The only problem with the Foxes is that the rubbers are too hard, and with full articulation at 10", the shafts start bending.

It is because a tdi, power steering, disc brakes all don't involve electronics, so you can fix them yourself. A TD5, TDCI, ETC and air suspension do need electronics to work, so you need a specialist to fix it......OR become a specialist yourself. But learning old dogs new tricks is almost impossible, so we stick with no electronics.
For Land rovers, I wave the non electronics flag, but this is mainly because of the harsh environments that I tend to go to. For my road car However I have looked into it, and it appears that the diagnostics are quite accessible these days, with read out units from £15 on Ebay, so the market has caught up with electronics. I think it is just a matter of time that people get more used to this, especially now disco3s and newer range rovers are so cheap. It just means one more tool in the box to DIY it basically.

I’d still like to see Jim take on Ladoga
I don't think he has a hope in the swamps; his car is at least a ton heavier than the Russian/Estonian cars.
But at the Croatia trophy, it doesn't seem to matter much.
That said the blue Estonian car was leading until he had a flat tyre and injured himself while dealing with it.

There is a bit of fast stuff, say 80mph said jim in the video. But to be fair its only minutes untill the next tough section and you need low tyre pressures again. I ran on 5 PSI the entire event in 2016.
The Russians and estonians run central tyre inflation for this reason.
The event has now ended and Jim Won.

Nope, I checked it, and the pedal does not go down upon start-up
That means your booster does not work as it should. On a defender there is an o-ring between the booster and the master cylinder which can leak. Not sure if a disco has got this, but it may be worth checking.

When you press the pedal, does it drop on start up?

Think you might go back and give legends a go Daan?
Maybe once the little man grows up? No is the answer though, I feel tired just thinking of it.

And they are off! Prologue today as we speak.
Some good trucks again as usual:
But the new legends class is gathering ground as well, with 8 cars taking part, of which 4 defenders. Even a defender 130 taking part! Will be interesting how this develops, as it allows a lot of people to have a go.

It would, but that has the -and it's cheap- tag attached to it, which this is not.

The steering box is a bit in your face as well. This is the only one I have seen so far that did not move the grill forwards to accommodate the engine. But as a whole, really neat job.

Hi, and welcome to the fold. Could you post a picture, as we will probably recognize what is what.

Since we talk so much about ambulances and campers, this weeks ebay finds are interesting:
Spendy, but nicely done:
This has potential:
Pop top, the whole roof is what I would try as well, maybe the execution is a bit iffy, but not a bad idea:
I will leave others to comment:

That's a really neat job he did there, like it a lot. The sleeping arrangement looks good to me also. And love the oak flooring!
Looking forward to your build thread.
