hi ya i'm trying to replace the steering wheel in my defender, so does anyone know where i can find a 36 spline 2 arm wheel in relatively good nick? As i can't seem to find the 36's loads of ruddy 48's about. I would like to replace it as the dog has had quite a good few attempts at chewing...

hi ya! i had a freelander as my first car. A 3 door early td4, There good workhorses and a bit different to the saxos/fiestas that you see driving around. If you get a good'un it'll give you many years of service. But a ****ty one will see you burning your wallet. I would recommend an...

But LR are moving the production of the defender to india and will be selling the original design to "developing markets". So as our govern. pros won't allow the import all you'll need to do is set up your own small country and import it. Simples :P maybe you could create Meerkovo, the money...

couldn't you just get your rents to switch from their current insurer to nfu? save you buying some ****ty old car. You can get refunds for the remaining insurance if you stop before the end of the year. But i can't fault nfu, dam good insurers. I think when i first passed my test i was payin...

Welcome. I'm 19 and have 1 years no claims. and i'm paying £1500 on a 110 td5 station wagon. drops to £800 next year with 2 years ncd with nfu. I'm currently insured with admiral. So don't get too disheartened it is possible to insure yourself. NFU insurance is done through brokers so could you...

The original defender design is being shifted to india. Mainly for developing markets. So not all is lost, in the future past 2015 you'll be importing the tata defender.

Hi The rear seatbelt jammed whilst the seat was down so that it couldn't be raised. I tried pretty much everything to try and free it. It wasn't working, and being short on time i just cut the seatbelt. So my question now is does anyone know the part number or where i can find a...

or amazon do a nice 10 piece set for £6

lol! What we where looking at whether any of these products actually offered any fuel savings at all, when following the manufactures guidelines. So we ran a control then added the parts one by one. Just to see what would happen. And we measured the fuel burn in each case to see if there was any...

the synergy is well worth a buy, just talk to the insurance company first. As they will want to know whats going on. its a very easy fit it just plugs into the standard freelander wiring and sits between sensors and the engine ECU. basically unplug the old cable and plug the synergy im-between...

its a load of bulls*** it doesn't do anything at all. The idea is that the magnets alight the fuel molecules in the correct order for combustion. In reality they do nothing at all, we tested the magic carburettor as well which was claimed 90mpg. its false. it actually gave a lower mpg than...

yes you should have seen a change. As the MAF provides the ECU with airflow and air temps. By removing it the ECU should default back to a standard temp. (which i think is -5 Celsius) So by removing the MAF cable the engine should get more fuel = more smoke. By disconnecting it and no change...

Well the mechanics said today that the head gasket is sound. And all the tests have shown that there is nothing mechanically wrong with the car. The mystery deepens..... They also said that there was no coolant loss when they had it. Or oil loss. Suppose that the little bit of rad weld has...

Hi Just wanted your take on this, the land rover has been sitting in the garage for the past 3 days and there has been a small puddle of coolant under it and the expansion tank is completely empty. So the symptoms are- -Rough Idle -Smoke out the exhaust throughout the rev range when cold...

it was probably the viewpoint i'm in a 4x4 so i can do these speeds that caused the crash!
