Defender has now sold.

Just dropped the price on my Defender to £6,500 as I really need to sell quickly! Grab yourself a great Defender!!!

SOLD Due to a new family member I'm going to have to sell my much loved 300Tdi 105,000 miles and runs beautifully! Starts every time. I believe there was one lady owner before me, and I have never off roaded it. EGR Removed Heater works great General Grabber AT2 on four corners all with good...

It's lining that is used for camper vans. Got a roll off ebay for about £60 that was enough to do all my head-lining, seat boxes and make window surrounds for the back. Here is an example: VW T4 T5 Lining Carpet Kit ANTHRACITE VELTRIM 4M VALUE | eBay

What, like add ballast?? ;) To be fair, we will be getting a tool box for the a bar, so that should do that!

Thanks for all the suggestions / info! I have gone for the 'wedge something in it' option. I had a few carpet tiles lying around, so cut up one of them and wedged it behind the plate that the ball bolts on to. I had to drive the pin back in with a few taps of the hammer, but it seems pretty...

Next question would be, could I remove all the sliding gubbins, and just install a drop plate with the tow bar bolted to that?

Never towed anything (ever) before, and yesterday I had to tow a 650kg trailer a couple of hundred miles. I hooked it all up fine to my Defender, but the sliding tow bar was rattling like a good'un when driving at slow speeds / on rough roads. Is there any solution for this, or would it...

Quick question: Can I use hardboard (covered) or should I use ply? I just figured that the hardboard would be no worse then the material used for the stock headlining!

Hi all, I have a 90 CSW that was modified from a hard top before I purchased it. I want to make some ply panels for the rear, so two sides, and two back panels. Has anyone got any downloadable templates for this? or is it a case of getting jiggy with making cardboard templates? I...

Found them!!!!! Here: Land Rover Defender Stainless Steel Door Threshes - YRM Metal Solutions

So annoying! I knew that I should've watched it. Just done an extensive search of eBay and can't find it anywhere.

Amazing I know, but I'm one of the few that likes to keep my fender looking good! Anyhew, it is basically like the metal strip that you get on the back door, but for the sides.

Hi all, I saw on ebay a bit of trim to neaten up the inside of my cab the other day, but for the life of me I can't find it again!! It was a essentially a bit of metal that runs on the inside of the door opening on the floor. It covers where the seat-box bolts to the floor. See the...

I always use Auto Paint St Helens. Admittedly, I just buy a few rattle-cans at a time for the odd job here and there, but I'm sure that they'd be able to help you out! Next day delivery is super fast too!!! http://auto-paint.co.uk/carpaint/
