Yes. Scary! The DIGAF (Do I give a f**k) attitude is an interesting one that I haven't come across before. What I have had to rectify as a 'competent person' recently, supposedly done by a pro made me really angry. Member of NICEIC and all.......
Hilly, It doesn't need an overhaul just yet but there comes a point when I will need a newer motor (perhaps). I overhauled my wifes 90 four years back with a nice re-build onto a Richards chassis (LR specialist job) but the 110, because I have loved it for the 27 years in my ownership is still in v good nick and at 104,000 there's not much more I can do mechanically. The G-box was re-built at 80,000 and the clutch was done then. I suppose the only thing to do now is the timing belt but as I haven't used it much during lock-down there are is whole years miles not on the clock.
I’m thinking of treating my 04 swb ht to a new g chassis.
- and no one there at the time could tell me whether that included VAT . Are you interested I was asked - I couldn't believe it........
If you want a good LR chassis change specialist PM me. 'Tis quite a trip for you but worth the miles. There's a railway station nearby so your journey to deliver & collect could be a reality.
Wonder if he could sort out my wife's chassis.
I thought it was decided that you are punching above your weight already after a photo that appeared on the forum last year
My weights even more considerable since then.I thought it was decided that you are punching above your weight already after a photo that appeared on the forum last year

I wouldn’t know if I would feel annoyed or flattered if this was my wife being discussedWell she will need stripped down before we start that
To inspect, poke and sort any significant holes in the chassis that need filling.Put a pic on we could give her a good looking at and decide what needs done ?

Handy man to know !
LR specialist, but I do know he has a couple of G Wagens that have been patched over the last decade to keep them on the road. I think you will have trouble getting a chassis for your Daihatsu. The biggest advantage in running an old style LR Defender is you can continue to run one with all the spares new & second-hand that are and will be available for a good number of years ahead. There are three chassis builders that I know of and folk like Richards Chassis;https://richardschassis.co.uk/ have a good reputation as the parts that you take off your old LR will actually fit back nicely without alteration or fudging about.
