andy, i am talking from experience here series 2 landrover heads dont last very long when they have been stitched, my mate bought one that had been done, went again soon after, also the best engine is the five bearing which was fitted from around 1982 previous to this they was four bearings not as good

I guess I'd have to agree with you there as my own experience of a Landy was a Series 1 1/2 with a 2 Litre petrol engine which was slow as a tortoise but would go on for ever. This Landy was used as a tow truck at the garage I worked at, had an old mechanical crane on the back and had a top speed of about 35MPH, about 3 inches of play in the steering but it certainly was a bomb proof machine.

Still ws a piece of s**t though.

Cheers

Jim,

I guessed that today because the one at Sacriston has moved and you said yours was stripped down.

Nice wheels though, I will keep an eye out. If a white Scudo van flashes you it is only me forgetting what car i am in.(or if a Scudo van washes his windows at you!!!! wish all the levers were on the same side!!! lol)

Washing my windows at someone just makes me feel stupid but at least its only me that knows. I keep washing my windows with main beam, trying several times thinking I've run out of screen wash again.....driver in front must be wondering what he did to upset me
