So long as your seats are secure, if they're meant to slide they do, and the seatbelt fixing is secure & working that's all that is needed for the MOT. The seats that you've got with the electric motors etc. you might find that you can't get them in when you've made the adaptor, the motors etc...

measure across the seat fixing bolts, ie left to right, the early seat mountings were considerably narrower than the later ones (which are now a fairly standardized measurement) I had an L reg disco with the early mounts, I made an adaptor bracket to fit RR seats, but you can't fit electric...

No, but the one on/off the trailer looked to be a royal blue bob-tailed one

So who overturned their nice disco plus the trailer with the blue off-roader disco on this morning just south of Standish?

you don't need a snorkel unless you intend to go swimming with it, but I would get a set of heavy duty steering rods, then consider heavy duty bumpers.

It all depends what you want the pin for. If you're thinking of towing a Sankey trailer with it, it won't! there's not enough clearance between the pin & casting. You'd need a proper Nato hitch. Also the ball will be slightly higher than a 'standard' 50mm ball hitch.

The answer to this has got to be WHY?

This shows why spotlights, mag mounts etc on the roof are not recommended! General 4x4 stuff :: WalesLaneSJ1827-01.mp4 video by Biffo_photos - Photobucket We stop for a minute at 2 mins in to let the next car catch up, then we're off again.

I have a Snap-on 18v one that I bought from ebay, I've got to say that it's an excellent piece of equipment, and much more powerful than my air guns (2 off) if you can afford it, get one.

Get yourself a pair of military recovery points, they bolt on top of the front bumper, using the bolts that fix the bumper to the chassis plus a couple of extra ones. Paddocks sell them new, or ebay 150838380390. They fit all Defenders not just series ones.

I have Kingpin remoulds on, no problems what-so-ever, we do some serious stuff and I've seen brand new "good" named tyres trashed on their first time out, if a sharp rock goes through the sidewall, it doesn't look who made the tyre! Kingpin have been going for a long time now, I remember my Dad...

First of all you need to think where you're going to be driving your Disco, If you're going to be doing some serious green lanes with overhanging branches, then a mag-mount / roof mount / mirror mount is no good for you, as the aerial will get wiped off quick style. Obviously if you're not going...

Let me just get this straight................. A few YEARS ago you had a new engine fitted. Then in fact you go elsewhere for services. A few MONTHS ago the camshaft gave up. Now you want to claim under the guarantee for the engine. -------------- Have I got this correct? If I am correct...

Yes, they are all this slow, the brakes are crap, but you'll get used to that, you just run it into a banking if you need to stop PDQ. That aside, oil can / will leak from anywhere, you need to find out where it's from. Things to watch for, especially if you're taking it off tarmac...

I have a netbook set up with memorymap and a remote USB GPS dongle fixed under the sunroof, but you can get one that'll just plug straight into the USB slot. USB dongle E-bay; GPS RECEIVER BLUENEXT AGPS USB DONGLE for PC / LAPTOP | eBay Or even the same one on an extended lead, but you'll...

They're mainly stealing them to ship abroad to the likes of India etc. As they are relatively easy to work on, have been going for years so plentiful spares market, even old ones are wanted over there.

Don't forget a good grese gun for the propshaft, drop-arm and some ball joints.

I can also recommend the A127 refurbish parts from ebay, I've done a few alternators with them for different vehicles. The bloke who sells them is 8617petert, just find any advert by him then contact him, he's a very pleasant chap and I'll certainly recommend him.

If you're not going off roading, then just good preparation is all you need. I would change all filters and engine oil, check all other levels, if petrol new spark plugs, if diesel it might be worth it to have the injectors removed, cleaned and refurbished. New fan/ serpentine belt, and if you...

We've fitted one of those, not a bad piece of kit. the biggest thing with winches, is learning how to use them properly, and not abuse them. The synthetic rope is by far better than a steel one. if you had a wire rope fitted to this type of winch, as you winch in, it will overlay itself far...
