Re: Land Rover engineer - Phetchkasem Road, near Pleurn Wan/

a couple of old Range Rover classics ('88 & '90), both V8s that were 3.5 and 3.9 respectively. I'm especially keen on those five-door models during the mid-to-late eighties, before RRs became so well appointed and cosseting, not to mention prohibitively complex too. I've learnt something about ...

Re: Land Rover engineer - Phetchkasem Road, near Pleurn Wan/

I imagine an early Land Rover wouldn't be a bad project to have in Thailand. The main problem with them in the UK was that the steel firewall would rust Yes, that's the bulkhead. Actually, the chassis is a major concern in the UK climate. But even so, even that can be quickly replaced by a competen...

Re: Land Rover engineer - Phetchkasem Road, near Pleurn Wan/

I have the last of the Discovery 1 series V8, ES converted to LPG. I have had a lot of problems with it, but a good deal of it can be blamed on the standard of "workmanship" of most places. Where have you had repairs? Presumably you haven't been back to the place that I mentioned on Phetc...

Re: Land Rover engineer - Phetchkasem Road, near Pleurn Wan/

They tend to refer to ALL series Land Rovers as "Defenders"! Yes, I saw that. It was amusing to hear of a 1969 Defender, as if there was ever such a thing! The place that you asked about MAY help you, but the last time that I went in there they were not interested. I would not deal with a...

Re: Land Rover engineer - Phetchkasem Road, near Pleurn Wan/

I have had Land Rovers in one form or another since the first one when I was 19 years old. (69 years old today in fact!) In that case, I'd like wish you a happy birthday then Nereus. It's good to know there are several of us here who have an affinity to Land Rovers. I also bought my first when I wa...

Re: Land Rover engineer - Phetchkasem Road, near Pleurn Wan/

I've always noticed the place as I had a few of them in the UK back in the eighties and nineties including a 1975 Airportable. Thanks for dropping me a reply Steve. I have been a Land Rover fan since I was a kid. Yes, the 1970s Lightweight, as they're sometimes known. They were very sought after. I...

Land Rover engineer - Phetchkasem Road, near Pleurn Wan/Ford

Does anyone have experience of the Land Rover engineers on the left side of Phetchkasem Road, heading North from Hua Hin? It is just after Pleurn Wan and the Ford dealership. I know they tend to have a lot of modified Land Rovers and some are modified in outrageous ways, but I wondered if they sell ...
