Just thought I would say hello being the new lad here. My name is Edd Jones, I have a 1952 80, a 1988 CSW V8 90 and a 2008 tdci 90 CSW. I am based in Guernsey the land of no MoT or road tax as such, the duty is on the fuel. It is still a lot cheaper than the mainland.

Bye for now

Edd

Edd, you should have said hello a couple of weeks back! was over your way visiting. Nice place to be although you are upto 91p for unleaded now arent you?

Hi James

Yeah about 91p per litre, but at certain petrol stations with a supermarket voucher you can get 10p per litre of, so 81p with road tax included, and no mot still makes motoring cheap.

Land rovers are very popular here as you may have seen, we have a couple of good sites we can use so its all good fun.

Regards

Edd

Hello everyone i'm Max i'm 13 and i have just bought a Series 3!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...rksid=p3907.m29

I would like to make it into a proper off-roader.

Can a Spring suspension be fitted instead of the leaf suspension?

Big wheels?

Snorkel?

All off road stuff!

Also i would like to learn basic mechanical skills on the landy!

Thanks Max :blink:

Yes that will be a good idea ;)!!

Thanks Max :D

Welcome Max

Looks like you got yourself a nice project there.

Before you get to deep into springs and big wheels get the welding done and go play.

As it stands or with some slightly aggressive tyres will be more than enough for you to learn on.

Amend your profile so we can see where you hail from. From this you may find someone local who can donate bits to a good cause.

This will be an excellent way for you to learn all things automotive and beyond. I started part time working in a garage when I was 14 so you are in good company.
