Probably not. Just carry out the usual fluids and pressures check, probably worth checking the brake lines are not perished, go round the nipples with a grease-gun and then enjoy it. If there is a problem it'll let you know soon enough.

Change all fluids and filters. Do the belts as well. Drive it and check for leaks in seals and gaskets as sitting around does them no good. Run your fingers along pipe lines for any bad pitted areas or rust.The front swivels can leak from sitting. Nothing major just the basics. Check your shocks for leaks too. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Timing belt would definitely be on my list. Not a quick/easy job but needs to be done.

Maybe check if brakes are binding. Go for a short spin, use brakes as sparingly as possible, and then check if any one disc or drum brake has become excessively hot.
Careful if using your fingers to check. Do not ask me how I know  so ideally an Infra red gun. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Have been thinking about giving it a shot, I'm pretty happy on the spanners and looks relatively self explanatory as long as you're careful. Do they tend to die with age or miles? Pretty sure its only done about 10k miles on the belt its got

Contamination can also kill timing belts, fuel or oil. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Land Rover recommend changing it every 60,000 miles or every five years. If you want to tackle it I can email you the pages from the work shop manual but my advice is to get an independent who has done it before to do it. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

By the sounds of it, it'd be wise to just play it safe and do it then
I'll shoot you a PM spud, the manual pages would be much appreciated! Once I see a full breakdown of the job it might put me off and I'll take it to my usual guy to do but we'll see |

The timing belt change is a complex but straightforward job, well within the capabilities of an experienced spanner wielder. It's very important to to use quality parts and not budget parts.

Timing belt is just a bit daunting for most people but in fact is reasonably straightforward apart from the work required to gain access.
Hardest part can often be removing the crank damper pulley bolt (frickin tight) and drawing the pulley off (often glued on with loctite of one sort or another). If you do go DIY protect the radiator with a piece of hardboard or similar so you don't accidentally shove any tools through it while working in the space between rad and engine  |
