On the plus side I did learn to weld when I had my Landy.

I had to, the chassis needed regular patches for the MOT. Infact there was more Hotpoint washing machine panelling than Land Rover in the chassis by the time I sold it!

Wheel bearings-Yep!
Propshaft UJs-Yep!
Clutch-no, just a gearbox stuck in4th!
Alternators-No
Aircon failed-never happens on Mk2s! You just can't turn the vents and doorseals to hot, they seem stuck on cold all the time...

..but driving it was fun and, as I always say, you can park a Landy anywhere you want and nobody argues!

Cooling systems on Landies eh?

Mine put the fan blades through the radiator!

One long drive with lots of stops later and £200 lighter I replaced the radiator, only to find the waterpump wasn't coming out.

10 days, a big hammer and several drill bits later it was sorted.

You have to laugh though!

Never seen a FF of any make in a shop?
Jessops carry a large range of all canikony models in their larger stores, some of which do tip the £1000 mark, just.

It's the lenses for said bodies that have the big tickets!

You need to improve?

#2 and #3 are super, just keep taking as many as possible, after all, digital shots don't need developing so...
