How easy is this
Can be done within a weekend no problem.  Make sure you have a good set of Imperial (AF I think the head bolts are) sockets, extension bar(s) and ratchet.   You also will need a torque wrench.

LOL cheers for that mate, but driving to the complete opposite end of the country is just not viable right now lol.

I have a mate of mine doing it tomorrow, he has his own garage and used to be a land rover main dealer mechanic.

Plus he is also only charging me £50 for doing it lmao

He should have no probs then
Just remember its a cast iron head, so not very light

I was being idle whe I was refitting it being on my own I used an engine lift to line it up, stops dropping two round spherical anatomy parts when aligning head and not letting the gasket wander out of line ;)

I did mine in a weekend, but it was years ago and the first 'proper' job I did on a landy, very satisfying!
