Pictures or it didn’t happen 😵‍💫

For brake lines, B F Goodridge are at the top of the list (IMO) https://www.goodridge.co.uk/pages/brake-line-kits-pf You can fit +2" lift pipes however unless you have a lift or increased articulation there is no advantage or need.

It’s nice, but mine looks purtier. Although, I do rather like those wheels. 😍

I just wanted to say that I found this thread really helpful planning my chassis swap, particularly the list of things to disconnect! A few things I might add: 1. Removing the battery tray made it much easier to access the plumbing on the OS of...

Late last year we went through the grief of fitting a new EPB to my brother's 2010 RRS. It works just fine... BUT... It doesn't communicate with the car. It was an amazon special so I expect it was wrongly advertised and is actually for a...

There’s a chap over here who has a Bespoke defender and it’s had an awful lot more done to it than this one. It’s painted, has a cage, lots of Bowler bits bolted on etc. It wasn’t cheap but the guys loaded

Is this a Mini or a Bini @kevstar ?

Avoid downwards or keep off dusty tracks.

Mine are pretty tatty so would like to replace, and with stainless braided. I would like standard length and that looks like Britpart. Who makes theirs? Also seen some 2 inches lift, are they suitable for non lifted?

I was actually getting just over 30mpg at EU motorway speeds. Going home from here is downhill most of the way to Liege, and have managed to get the clock to show 99mpg for quite a distance. :) When it runs.. I think the garage man is proposing...

Apparently, almost all the stuff I ordered beforw and during our summer vacation, ehich is ending tomorrow unfortunately, has been delivered. My catsitting dad was so kind to also take delivery for that. He just told me that it looks like...

Looks like the aerial for the 430MHz receiver for the remote fobs. Photo not very clear though.

You're not missing much

Sorry, I should have also included the transfer box. Any hint of metal in the oil mix? Does it cease when the clutch is depressed?

Yes - new oil - old oil was milky/watery

Have you drained the oil from the gearbox to check the state of what comes out?

Hi I just got my Def90 TD5 back after a while in the workshop. Water damage (engine recondition, electronics replaced). The car is making a high whining noise when in 3rd gear+ and the revs are rising. Sounds like an airplane taking off. Any...

Take two It's back, but a tad cheaper.

I use one of them. Its a lot easier 👍 👍

As promised before and after piccies

I’m fortunate that the lads at my local garage are friends. I have read about hydraulic systems where microbubbles, or small bubbles, form and eventually merge into one large bubble, which can interfere with the pressure pulses in the system; a...

We are posh in Cornwall, what do you call it in Scotland?

I'd like to know who. At that price I'd be willing to let them have mine too.

Aye, that's the one.

I did look at that but more concerned about my poor dog in the back! 😬

Thanks all for your replies. Obviously not an isolated problem and just par for the course when running a rag top rear flap open! Small consolation in that at least I don’t have an exhaust leak!

Thank you for the valuable information. One thing I am curious about is whether there is a specific order for tightening the bolts. And how many Nm should be applied when tightening them?

I don't quite understand what you mean. What exactly is its function in the vehicle?

Fan housing how posh 🤣 🤣

One of the dogs got hold of a hedgehog last night :mad::mad: The misses & her pal took it to the animal rescue centre to get checked over, they gave it antibiotics & said its having babys so we should put it back in the garden so it can go home...
