Stage 1 V8

Well the stage1 has made it all the 9miles to the garage tonight! For some reason throttle linkage was disconnected so only running on 1 carb! Once reattached it went like stink! This was the first time l have driven the truck since it failed it MOT last year. I had forgotten how heavy the steering ...

If a group of sheep is a flock, a group of geese a gaggle, and a group of cats a clutter. What then is a group of Landie specialists? when l asked my girlfriend - her response was "geeks", she doesnt get the landy love. she may change her mind when she realises that her 200bhp leon will b...

Why is copper banned where you are?

l made my own brake pipes up. purchased the copper pipe and ends online and a pipe bending tool and flairing kit from machine mart. followed the profile of the old pipes and have fitted a treat. remember measure twice, cut once and allow plenty of pipe to practice flairs on. :lol: the new pipes was ...

Arr the joys of land rover ownership. Don't we just love them- at least it will be worth it in the end

afternoon all, thought l would post an update of getting "Harry's Hack" back on the road. well the truck runs well now with the new engine fitted. the carbs need to be ballanced and mixture tuned (only ticking over with a small amount of choke). exhaust smoke clears quickly. because the ne...

Evening all. Thought l would pass on the good news. The new engine was finally started up today. Ran a absolute treat!

A massive thanks to my dad for coming up and helping me. Pics soon

disco2hse - whats the price of petrol for you guys out in NZ?

its making these trucks a bit expensive to run now.

how is the new engine and have you got it fitted now Seb?

appoligies for sat morning (the hang over lasted till 4pm -even after a game of hockey)

Have you considered parabolics? we have them fitted to our 3 landys and we they are great. think of the cost - you could weigh in or sell the old springs and put towards the new parra's (what we did) how much would it cost to have the originals re-set by a pro? the time and hassel of re-greasing? pl...
