I laid up our 1987 country 2.5na Diesel in 2000 after I went out to Australia with the girlfriend ... unfortunately life carried on and she just sat in the garage covered up but with regular coats of WD40 and duck oil to keep her rust free... after about 14 years I thought I’d give her ago, I put a new battery and some fresh diesel in and bleed the system up and gave her a shit load of heat and after a few cranks she fired straight up!
Unfortunately the old Land Rover has been given some shit press over the years which it really doesn’t deserve and all the key board warriors haven’t helped matters!
