Weigh the vehicle first so you have something to work from. Our 300 Tdi Hard Top sits on standard LR springs and shocks. No lift, nothing. Works well and vehicle goes everywhere and does tow

Very Nice ! I used the GL kit to reposition the altenator as it gave problems fitting the intercooler pipes etc. of the 200 Tdi in the Series. This is also a very nice solution - like the multi-belt

There you go..

You're in the UK now and they need to be shipped to Kenya ? Or will you hand carry them.. I am no expert on Unimog so how many different diffs are there ? or will any Unimog diff fit ?

You better start that cunning plan.... .... or reconsider the other options that allow you to keep her... She needs to be kept safe, used & looked after !!

Oh.... That is very nice !!! Please - more pictures and write up. Our Series is awaiting the handbrake to go out playing again...

Dependin on your mileage, fitting a good 200 Tdi will give you many miles. We have one in the SWB Hybrid and it is very, very nice. Noisy, of course, but very good. Fitting is not too difficult and starting with a good engine makes sense Bon Courage !

Good Progress - on the road, not too difficult MOT issues.... Hmm. the corrosion however.....

Happy to see the cat inspects the trailer ! ...ours are always all over the LR's & trailers..... We have never been lucky with steeringboxes and seal kits. Looking very, very nice !

We have steel Disco I rims and they clear the Zeus callipers. I "think" standard Defender ones do, too.. Try first though.. The Wolf ones will fit.

We have looked Pioneer with the movable screen and found that you can "learn" them to what position they need to go for your specific dashboard. But I have to say I was not impressed with the sturdieness (??) of the various units. The 110 is now running on an iPad for navigation and it works well. There are some options for the CD / Radio to make them "talk" to the iPad / Androids if you want. Although I've always had Garmin, I am getting less and less impressed with the bigger screen units to work with and running things like Xmotion on the iPad are really nice once you get used to it. I have destroyed too many CD players over the years to use them. In the Hybrid I have a Kenwood MiniDisk player but that is going to be replaced aswell - getting old...

Good Evening, Anything from 150 ukp. upwards will get you something. But you'd have to ask yourself what it is you want ? Cheap is often expensive and a lot of #$%% Buy warranted quality and enjoy. Also, is the gearbox is your Series in good condition ?

Welcome. Not sure what it is really you want to achieve here....

Have fun with the project - is going to be interesting ! However, please consider the forces when you're doing 60 Mph. and meet a nice mocing apartmentblock called HGV that comes the other way doing 70... You could find yourself at the receiving end of 120-130MPH blows and that is a lot of forces..

It ain't easy, is it.... Al those Lbs & kgs...... Interesting idea - but will it actually materialize ?

Tow 5 tonnes ?

Don't get me started on cats and their preference for warm bonnets...... Speaking - but even more so in writing - in a non native languages is hard at times. ...esp. when you do it all day in 4 different ones.... But.. we try.

Nice ! No problems with the winchrope for the licence plate ?

Big Lorry ? Looking a good project. ...and love the workshop

This is sooo much why I'm no longer into RRC's... Good Work !!

Nice ! Pity you live too far away for a quick coffee...

Yes.... It is us bl..dy foreigners taking away lots of things.... Don't get me started on the Franch who buy all the nice Renault 4 & 2CV's in Holland....

This is how it works with true LR people.. I have been helped many times in the deep dark night on the side of the road and try to give it back, too.. Well done guys !

" Sorry Arjan I just love that series look.... " Nothing to be sorry for ! I like the Series front, too, but for the moment this works better for me.

Interesting Project Daan !!!!! Looking forward to the various solutions you'll have to find - like welding the chassis together ? Goed Gedaan !!
