Yes, I bought my first Landy when I was 16. I've owned almost every type and I worked in an independent Landy garage for years. I have to say though, in 20 years of Land Rover ownership, I never broke down where I couldn't fix it and get home. I did give my mate a little ribbing about the ATF...

Thanks for the replies. I've tried Flux over the last couple of years for various motor quotes and they've always been too expensive. They seem to have some terrible reviews as well. I've done some research on 2gether insurance (Dave Brewer) and I'm not sure they are quite as professional as...

It sold already :( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/nissan-patrol-y60-chrome-front-bumper-/251260861581?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3APatrol+Gr&hash=item3a80507c8d

It's getting towards that time of year again. Does anyone have any recommendations for insurance on my Patrol ? I don't mind putting the effort in looking for quotes, it's the spamming to death from loads of companies afterwards that I hate. Looking for a modification friendly company and I...

If there's enough room to get a welding rod or torch in, you could weld a nut to the bolt stump. The heat will help free it too. Sometimes it takes a few goes but usually you can get enough weld down the middle of the nut to grip the stud. Oh and if you're struggling to get it to weld on, try...

Saw a very good front one on ebay recently. Just had a look and can't find it now. :(

Y60 4.2D Patrol. But then I'm biased. :D

Yes, we go for the scenery and the sense of getting away from it all as much as anything. My mate is trying to get me to buy another Landy but it won't be happening. I had a little sit in the passenger seat whilst he drove and the Landy memories came flooding back..... Loads of driveline shunt...

Nice relaxing day out in the Patrol. It's good to be back greenlaning again.

Nice one. :D

Most of the Iphone stalwarts at work have gone Samsung. One lad who had an S3 has gone back to an S2 like mine. I think that Samsung make a much better all round phone.

From experience in my Skyline owning days, the biggest improvement running a big diesel 4x4 is during short/town runs. I could squeeze high 20's out of a near 400hp GTR on a run but short/town/thrashing is realistically well under half of that and that's what brings your average down. The...

After much reading and research I'm on my second tank of 50/50 veg oil. I like to think after all these years working on motors that I have a keen ear and feel for engines and doing my best to be subjective, I'm pretty certain that my Patrol is running quieter and smoother. A tiny bit of...

Just too expensive for occasional use and as said, you still end up crawling underneath to clean up the mess from the filters. Can put more pennies towards spending on the motor instead.

Tectyl and Decordyn. Both thin products that get into all the gaps and soak into any light rust.

As part of my efforts to carry on from the previous owners efforts and look after my Patrol, I've been doing some more rustproofing. Plenty of thin wax inside the sills, door posts, inside rear inner wings, under the rear arches and inside the chassis main rails.

Been twice in my Stagea. Great meet. The noodle place is awesome ! And the firework display fantastic.

If it's right money, buy it, keep it as it is and enjoy it. Lets face it, you don't need or have to do much deep water stuff. Converting it to a Tdi, is time and money used up that you could be thrashing it about in the mud instead. Just my own opinion. I've done a lot of engine conversions and...

Back in the day I offroaded a few V8 Land Rover products. As said, waterproofing is a bit of a nightmare. Even if you cover all the ignition, quite often a sudden dousing in cold water causes condensation to form INSIDE the dizzy cap. You can use something similar to wd40 in there, but it soon...

DVLA hav been known to make the odd cock up re-registering stuff. Believe it or not I've seen an "E" reg, as in 1988 leaf sprung Landy. It all checked out, was just a mistake made by DVLA and once done, unless an owner questions it, nothing gets changed. There were also a few ex mod Landies...
