Few months back my dad rang me asking if i wanted a landrover, (stupid question) as a mate of hes wanted rid of it, went to have a look with my trailer on the P38 just in case it was a bargain, and it was, a deal was struck and i had a 110 csw 2.5td, no test or tax, also a non runner, crank pulley has fallen off, has issues on the M6 toll on our return, the P38 decided it was a good time to dump its air from the suspension, great ride with a trailer and a 110 on it!!! no laptop with me so reset was out of the question, after a slow drive we got back to the workshop,

On first inspection it was a very tidy 110 with 234.000 on the clock, got the 2.5td running ,normal smoke but ran ok, few bulbs and a small repair on the outrigger, bingo 12months mot,Taxed it up , fired on a snorkle and went out laining, 15 mins in to our trip bang cambelts breaks, oh well, DR fence dragged it back to the workshop,

As i had a fresh 300TDI in stock, shame not to put it to good use, this was decided on thursday afternoon about 2.30, and i set a goal, lets get it done for friday nights chippy run, so out came the engine and box, seat box, in went a fresh R380 and 300 tdi, reworked the td loom to fit, new exhaust system, moved the engine mounts, the electric fan was being fitted just after 5 on the friday night,thanks chris w, sounded sweet as a nut and drove great, tweck on the pump job done,

Changed a few more parts in the following weeks, series sides where added, 2" lift with tough back shockers, poly bush kit, steering guard, light guards and A bar from mr boddle thanks dude, diff guards, cb, beacons from an AA van, twin batterys, and a new set of 33/12.5/15 muds, all thats needed is a silver paint job the match Bessie and the logo on the rear panels, bargain landys are still out there guys,  :dance:
