I bought an electric hoist rated at 125/250 kg with a snatch block and fitted it as a sliding arrangement on a piece of scaffold pipe bolted to my 9”x2” garage joists. It was originally bought for unloading deer but it has removed/fitted three different Land Rover engines over the years. Two of these were 2.5 litre diesels, the other a ser1 petrol.

That must be to catch all the oils and fluids they leak 😂 very nice sized workshop garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my previous reply to the this malicious rumour 😉 which is utterly false This Defender (which I've had for 22 years) barely drops a drip - in fact - exactly enough such that at nearly 27 years old - it has never needed welding. Clever stuff indeed. A series 1 I had dropped a bit. I wish I'd kept it as they are worth a fortune now, and mine was tidy, original and low mileage (ex water board). Worst oil dripper was a G wagen - but that was from one leak on the (auto) gearbox - which I had fixed at great expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 I’ve had a over a dozen Land Rovers since 1976 and I have not had one yet that dripped oil. First sign of a seep and new seals are fitted. Job done.....properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 It is probably a sickness, but I love looking at photos of people's sheds / garages. At a quick glance, I have the following items - identical to :- nobbyathome - extension reel. Wymondley - plastic shelving. udderlyoffroad - fire extinguisher Dunks - anglepoise lamp. Medic1281 - spirit level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
