Things I've learned today

[nigel cartwright]

Have you used those before? Are they the right size?

Never used them on a car let alone a land rover so wouldn't know,, ask me next week if they are the right size .. i'll have a chassis to compare them with by then. Bought them for identifying kit at work.

 

[neilly]

I would have thought 4mm character height is a bit small if you are trying to replicate chassis numbers.

 

[nigel cartwright]

they come in a variety of sizes, i have some around 12mm as well as the smaller ones, however they were not for replicating anything so didnt matter

i cant buy dum dum

Not really Landy but the heater came with the truck.. sooo....I've learned today that my airstream fj-150 air heater works really well but i have no idea what the two blue wires do, (set it up on the yard and nearly warmed up the village.)

never had to insure a defender before, with a jap 4x4 you ask for a price and ten companies come back with similar rates with the defender the prices are all over the place

Drop him a pm over on the insurance section cos you supposedly get a further discount for being a forum member

 

[110woman]

I learnt today that getting insurance for a 16 year old , 9 seated 110csw can cause side splitting fun . Quote today for a 50 year old woman who's never had an accident or a claim ... Ever....... Was , wait for it, wait for it...

.£10,964

Spookily enough I'm not going ahead with it


On the positive side I got fully comp insurance on the series 2a for £85- with a fee sky tag thrown it !!!!

leaving your number on an insurance quote website means everyone in the UK is going to call you

Thanks so much for this, booked, paid for and been for a spin in the new road legal defender. The difference talking to Flux was massive, straight away you get the impression you are dealing with someone that understands owning a defender and several other cars unlike many other companies I have spoken to in the last 24 hours.
