Full M57 184bhp conversion kit with ecu gearbox and adpators etc. plug and play for £1250 on facebook out of a discovery 2 conversion oh dam too late

Did Ross @landroversforever sell the 200 out of his project? Or did that happen a long long time ago?

Hmmm maybe you could persuade me to take the disco 200tdi out of my 90 and I will put an M57 in 🤔 Range rover classic 200tdi engine near here with 172k on the clock £650 on facebook but a long way from you

10p engines seem to come up for as little as £250, just grab a gearbox and ecu. Current gauges i would guess could be made to work with the speedo from transfer box and rev counter from the alternator.

It certainly was, over enthusiastic in my student days with a rough disco and no thoughts as to how to get myself back out again. Who's this?? or what were you driving?

I carry: 2 or 3m tree strop Tree Strop 4m Nylon rope (gives a bit of stretch to take shock out of any loads) Snatch Strap (although not used it but it came in a recovery bundle i got) Various D shackles Soft shackles (although not used these in anger yet) Snatch block Recovery ring thingy (fits over the nato hitch so a winch rope can be attached. Superwinch ep9 with 90ft of rope Waffles Spade Winch Blanket High lift Jack (did get me out of a hole once when I didn't have a winch on the car at the time

Well the latest addition has been collected. 100L 3hp compressor, it’s 10yr old but all works and seems to be in good condition. Hope it lasts for £110. Hasn’t seen much use as the guy had good intentions of using a blast cabinet etc but the only used it for inflating tyres etc. Got a few fittings with it but I need to get a tyre inflator etc retractable air line etc. Think I might set it up in my shipping container and run pipes from it, so the noise is away from me, and also haven’t got the workshop door yet. I will price up airline and see how much I’m likely to need. If not I will build a little store for it out the back of the workshop in time I mi

Haven't spoken to him yet to hear about it, but sounds like he might of had his hand full then so no pictures from the event by the sounds of it

Absolutely gutted, this was I feel the best site in the UK, so much to explore and changes every time you go there. Perfect for the Normal land rover with mud tyres and a winch, lots of routes and like a more extreme green laning, also if you couldn't get through somewhere you could always drive around another route to avoid it. I feel that it has been ruined by the likes of the Ultra 4 competitions etc, when you go there so see the ruts, bogs, and huge big stones spat out by the vehicles, trees flattened and pushed over or winched out the ground. The speed element certainly didn't help as people just push their way through things or winch of unsuitable anchor points. Granted this did open up more tracks for other to use after events, but would soon washout and leave permanent scars. Its a shame they aren't going to allow groups such as shire and j33p who run very well organised and marshalled events. Tyre limits would would help. Keep up the hard work you put in shires, you seem to be one of the most active clubs, its just a shame you guys are the other end of the country to me

I tend to do as steve says. or pull it all out a dunk it in a big tub of water and and leave it to soak. Just remember dishwashers have spinning bits in them which could end up in a tangle

Re-chassis Farm 90 and any other bits required to make it a reliable workhorse. Deadline July 2023 as that is when the Discovery MOT is due and its not likely to be worth putting through again. Reskin and paint the doors for my 90 which have been sat in the garage for 2 years. Sort a few jobs on the V8 Series and put it up for sale. Fit Diesel heater to my office. Finish workshop (roller shutter, water and electrics) Bit more fencing in the field Make a start on studio conversion/kitchen bathroom fitting if funds and time allow (highly unlikely this year) I think that will do, will have to start another thread for events and trip for 2024

https://www.buzzspecialvehicles.co.uk/ seem to be doing a bit with them as well, but most updates are on their facebook page. Most things seem to be cosmetics though

Wow those prices are eye watering, I think if I sold all of mine it still wouldn't make enough. Will be interesting to see what you do with it as you have so many projects

Go on then how much as it is in its presently wrapped condition? I can see if my wife has got me anything for my birthday yet 🤣

Always fancied a camel! But will never be able to justify the cost of one now over a normal land rover
