Depends what the jobs are.
Normally I would say fetch it down here but we are a bit choice
Chalky at Eden View garage here on the Industrial Estate knows his stuff and lots of farmers throw their landrover at him.
If it is welding on the chassis though that might be a little trickier to find anyone. Pop you list on here and let's have a look. In the meantime I am awaiting notes on that other thing, but Stu and Dwb are moving house this week and have been otherwise engaged.
It’s all driveable and still in daily use but these things are starting to bug me:
There is a weird steering issue. I know these things don’t exactly have precision handling but it’s starting to wander all over the place. I’ve checked the steering box and taken a shim out of the swivel pins but it’s still happening. It had a new steering relay not too long ago. Seems to be slowly getting worse.
Possibly related to above, I get a single loud clunk noise sometimes when I turn the steering wheel. Again can’t seem to see anything obvious that looks loose or dodgy.
The accelerator cable snapped a few years back and is currently held together with some random bolts and washers that I found under the seat. Could do with a proper new one.
The lights are all over the place. I seem to blow bulbs every time I get in the thing. Some of the light fittings don’t work at all I’ve changed the bulbs and the whole fitting but still nowt. One headlight is very dim.
Handbrake is currently fitted for but not with, after the missus went for a nice long drive with it on.
The wings are on the piss and could do with straightening up.
It’s just developed a leak from the water pump. Needs a new gasket.
Could do with a major service. It’s been about 5 years since belts were done etc.
Speedo needs calibrating due to me running Range Rover diffs and bigger wheels.
The ignition overruns for a second or two when you turn it off.
It has the wrong suspension fitted. 109 parabolic springs instead of 88s. Either needs new springs or a leaf taken out of the back.
The steering, lights and service are the priority really.
Other than that it’s basically perfect.
