Yes I used to do the same with my motorbikes

agreed, nice motor, don’t really want to spend that amount. But having said that, I intend this to be my final car purchase and keep it. Again that’s why I don’t want it stolen. Living around the countryside I do see lots of posts about stolen defenders round here.

Finaly after a few months I have fixed my laptop. It had a very nasty virus that in the end I had to format the hard drive and remove the battery.

For poly bushes already assembled it's a good price. If you are ok pressing poly bushes in the housings like I would you can get them cheaper.

poly ones from bell engineering, £60 I believe for all 3 in the aluminium housing.
