Hello, we have just acquired a 90 that used to belong to the Peak District NP. It was originally standard blue but was sprayed (by the PDNP?) a silver colour with a hint of bronze. Anyone any idea what this colour is called for paint buying purposes? Cheers Rowly

All, I have finally managed to get the passenger to go camping. She has succumbed to the idea of "glamping". To this end I reckoned that if I got a pair of roofbars a futon base type thing would double up as a rack. Then stow the mattress rolled on top all safari/adventure like. Thing is...

Folks, The spare in the back of my 110 crew cab takes up a lot of the length. Is there a simple bracket that bolts to the side of the pick up rim so that the wheel can sit over the wheel arch? Couldn't find any on the web and even my local guy couldn't think of one. The wheel is big and...

Folks, my 03 defender f/n/s door won't slam shut properly. It closes onto the first retainer but then, from the outside, needs a bit of a shove. I'm sure the answer probably lies with fettling about with some sort of adjustment. I've lubed it up but that hasn't fixed it. Anyone know the...

Has anyone tried Protectakote? Was thinking about the DIY application kit. (couldn't find it by searching.)

Hello folks, I have just purchased my ex-National Trust Double Cab and am now fitting it out with loads of stuff. As you can imagine the cost is mounting. As most of the interior is new I thought I would treat myself to a new steering wheel. This is the part of me that comes into contact...

Hello, I am looking to buy a crew cab as my family car (I won't be using it to commute, just taking the wife, 2 teenaged boys and a dog on holidays, days out etc.) My thinking was that a crew cab is easier to keep hot/cold because of it's smaller cabin size. However, I will have to buy a...
