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...

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...

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...

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...

So, I am getting a bit of rust etc on the back end of my p reg 90, so I thought I'd rattle can fix it. Not the most amazing job ever, but a damn site nicer than the rust! Pics attached.

Hi All, does anyone know the dimensions of the Freelander 2 boot space with the seats folded forwards? I'm specifically after the depth (from back of front seats to the tail gate). Cheers people!

Thought I'd add a quick debrief of my trip to sky in my Defender. We decided to put our heads down in a different place each night and packed everything we normally would for a comping trip bar the tent. The idea was to alternate a night kinda' camping, then a night in comfort. Schedule...

I'm driving up to Scotland in my Defender next week and need to know what my optimal tyre pressure should be. I have a set of General Grabber AT2 (LT265/75R16 123/120Q). I'll be loaded up with some camping gear, but nothing toooo heavy. What do you reckon?!?

Planning on going up to Scotland with the wife at the end of Feb. It'll be the longest trip we've had in the Defender, but fancy getting it out n about. The wife has an Evoque, which would be far more sensible to take due to fuel and general comfort, but where's the fun in that?!?:D The...

Anyone know of a good phone (iPhone 5) mount that can be attached to the dash of a Defender? I've seen loads of screen mounted sucker types, but I want something that will mount on the dash permanently. Also, it doesn't need an integrated charger as I can just plug a cable into it. Any...

I had some material left over from the headlining revamp that I did last week, so I thought it'd be a good idea to use this to rejuvenate the seat box. It already had a pleather cover, but it didn't cover that much and left lots of bare metal exposed. As it was foam backed with the...

As the title, I'm trying to remove my seats so that I can cover the seat box. I can't seem to get to the passenger rear right (as you are sat in the passenger seat) bolt. My socket is too tall for it, and my spanner has no room around the back and sides?!?!? HEEEEELLLLPPPP

So, I decided to rejuvenate my headlining. Purchase list: Aluminium Thermal Foil (B&Q) £12 Veltrim lining (eBay) £59.99 Relatively simple job, just a little time consuming - and it's a good idea to have plenty of space (I didn't!!). The Veltrim I bought came with 5 cans of high...

Hi all, I had a lazy Sunday so planned to do a little sound proofing of the Defender. I used Evo Stick Flashband to completely cover the footwells and gearbox tunnel. I also covered the three plates under each seat. For £30 odd quid it's worth while, but doesn't make an enormous...

Hi all, I fancy getting out and having a little play in the snow tomorrow in the defender. I've not actually been out to do any proper laneing in it yet, so don't want anything too crazy! Any suggestions on spots to go out towards Ashbourne way?

I tried to jam my key into a frozen petrol cap today. Unfortunately the key snapped in it! I managed to get the end out, but now I can't undo the cap as my key is in two halves. Can I just get a new key? Or must I get a new filler cap. If the latter, how do I get the current cap off?

Hi all, Planning on taking my defender on a weeks trip up to Scotland (possibly the Western Isles). I have never been up that way and wondered if anyone had any suggestions on great places that I must see? We are planning on staying overnight in B&B's etc, but we are also going to be...

I'm hoping this is an easy one! I'm not really mechanical, so forgive the noob-ness of this! My clutch pedal seems to only be working on the lower half of the travel. The upper half is still sprung, but you only feel any real resistance (and the clutch actually working) from about the...

Hi all, Just found an unused Castrol SLX 'LongLife III' 5w-30 in the garage. Can I use this in my 300TDi, or Should I stop being tight and get something proper?

Hi all, I recently sealed all the holes in the driver side footwell with silicone. Bad idea! I now seem to have a convenient foot spa, as my newly sealed footwell is water-tight, therefore all the water coming in form dodgy seals has nowhere to go. I have (as a temporary measure) just...
