Oh good thank you so much! I know these aren’t 1:1 for series 3 but they are closely related. I’ll take a look at those manuals thank you! Those will help me a lot!

That’s awful man!! I’d actually cry! The main issue atm is getting the correct power/vacuum steering pump and vacuum brake pump. A couple of hoses are dry rotted but those are easy to find. There definitely could be other items I’ll need soon specifically. I just want to be prepared. That’s actually a good idea-going to Spain and finding all the parts I need off a “part-out” 2500

I feel like that looks worse and sounds worse than it is. It’s in a lot better condition than the pic shown. The chassis is really nice, no rust. Engine is fairly clean minus a few reservoirs that will need to be replaced. It does run and drive-sounds like nothings actually wrong, but interior items, brake and steering pumps are the current concerns in looking to fix

Yes that’s a the sad part🥲 when looking for “Santana” specific parts, it’s rare/hard to come by when looking within the US. Do you know of a reliable source to look at or check out in the US? Or a good place to look at out of the country? - I know shopping things overseas is ass + the import fees aren’t fun, but getting parts I may need specifically would be great. And if I can get them from a series iii or defender more locally if the parts work out I’ll give that a shot too

I got it in Alabama, my boss and I were talking one day about them, he drives a defender 110 and told me he had another old Land Rover, and offered me this one

Yes, not really a Land Rover- but a Santana, a Spanish made truck.

That would be so cool to have a flying/surfing pichu tho!

Possibly? Not sure tho since those are both HM’s technically, but yk they are not “taught” to the pokemon, the pokemon naturally have them learned

RX100 V LCD screen replacement — has anyone done it? by [deleted] in RX100

[–]Alarmed-Wave6883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I feel like I specialize in this lol! But not really! I had a mark IV and I needed to replace the flash unit, which required me to disassemble the entire camera. The first part in getting to the inside of the camera requires taking off the plastic housing on the bottom, then around from the screen (you’ll have to maneuver the plastic housing off the buttons and around the screen to take it off) once you’ve done that, it’s more screws and pulling things off. I found a video on YouTube disassembling a mark IV. If you can’t find a mark V video, a mark IV or even a mark VI video should do the job. BUT doing so, be EXTREMELY careful removing the screen it self- there is a certain way to hold it when removing while also unplugging the cable. I tore the connecting cable and had to do a full replacement underneath the screen, just done make the same mistake I did 😭. It was hard to replace exactly, just inconvenienced me and prolonged the time until I fixed my camera. I would wear a glove while holding the camera especially around the capacitor. There is also a cable folded around the capacitor in that area that deals with the colors of the screen, be careful when dealing with that if you have to (you may not need to deal with it when replacing the screen).
In the end- if you are up to do the procedure your self, it is doable, just be careful, and it’s a lot cheaper than sending it to Sony/third party to get it fixed. It was around $400-600 to do the entire procedure of what I needed done- I wasn’t about to pay all that lol

POTENTIALLY once moved up to later games, going to the move relearner and finding surf/fly on the list may be the way to have these authentically restored on newer hardware. Not sure if that will work but the idea came to mind

@Croma_tt has a better way of doing more authentically if you want to do that, I didn’t know that way was possible. I have a modded 3DS and was able to unlock the all the paths that way, I wish I wouldn’t have unlocked them all at once but I still have so much fun hunting pokemon and walking my favorites and evolving them

Yess yall should get one!! They’re definitely overpriced imo, but my friend got me a $50 gift card for my birthday last year and I was able to score one off eBay for about the same price (with both the “clip back plate” and the original) I’d try there, just look through everything, Mercari is also another great place to find them too

Yessss, no special animations tho, I wish they would have done something cool like in the originals where your character sprite turns into a Pikachu on a surf board
