Thanks! I've only got a chassis number- that VIN tool is asking for more, 17 characters, any ideas?

Running out of wisdom now! Try just looking up chassis numbers rather than the decode gadget. These people look interesting

Probably well within legal though. Doesn't match the destones which are cheap enough to buy. Does sound like you are being chased by a chopper when driving though.

I shouldnt think they are quiet, but the other banging and rattling probably drowns it out.

Yeah just got it so a few bits and pieces to do, including that. No pictures of the bottom yet, didn't have the light. Speaking of tires, I've got a matching trailer and the tires on that are a good bit smaller meaning that the trailer slopes instead of being level when attached. From what you can see should that trailer take big tires like the Land Rover to lift it up a bit? If so I could get some for it whilst replacing the spare.

Doubt if that is a problem for single axle. They tow horrible anyways, twin or triple axle is loads better.

It's more to keep the load level stuff falls out a bit at a slight slant. Do you reckon that trailer could take something bigger or only what it has on it? The trailer tires are pretty bald anyway so either way have to replace.

Match the trailer with what you shod the landy with

Lower the tow hitch is a cheaper option than bigger tyres , you will only need the same clearance if your going on safari.

Very handy ifyou have a winch fitted, either capstan or otherwise. If an electric winch is fitted, if you set the revs quite high then you wont flatten the battery using the winch as it will be charging

Incidentally, that brass chain sitting on top of the radiator should probably be fastened to the radiator filler cap, to avoid losing it.
