Good afternoon.
As I have permission smile to replace the chassis on my 200TDi 90, I've been looking at suppliers. Can anyone recommend either Marslands or Richards? I'm biased towards Marsland at the moment as they are £210+VAT cheaper and apparently use genuine LR chassis. Does anyone have any experience of either? Also, apart from brake pipes and bushes (and bulkhead!!) what else am I likely to need (bolts etc?).

Many thanks.

Done lots, Marsland all the time.

You change what needs doing at the time to make it easy, brake pipes, bushes, shocks etc, etc, etc.

Andy.

Cheers to you both.
How many bolts hold the body on as I was going to replace these anyway then see what else pops up?

I think you can buy complete stainless bolt sets, they're not expensive and worth doing...
