Back to the topic of the thread this is another one that seems hugely over priced: LINK
I am not denying it has had a lot of work done but as it is a series vehicle the higher prices are for originality which this is a long way from. So again is...
The tractor runs I do tend to be about 10mph. Which on my super is low third so works ok. But is a little fast for the friends fordson standard.
A B275 is acceptable because it is not grey!
I saw this one currnertly on eBay which is more my price point: LINK. But need to persuade the wife that unborn child number two needs a Land Rover like I did for unborn child number one. She is currently very unhappy about the idea and thinks...
I may be interested but as above it is very much price dependant as I currently do not have covered storage so anything I buy is going to deteriorate between now and when I actually want it to start rebuilding with children. I would certainly...
Although it has now reduced to about 25k i spent several years doing 30+k miles a year, when you are doing that sort of mileage lots of things become regular āserviceā items far more so than a weekend toy that never does any work. Latest example...
Bit steep for me, ultimately whatever I get is going to sit in the side of the field for 10 years before being touched and then rebuilt over the next 6-8 years to hand the keys to the child at 18. After sitting that long any vehicle will need a...
I got the 12k for mine after the fire from the insurance with no arguments, but that was 3 years ago now.
I completely agree with your comment about we spend too much on them without increasing the value. I have no intention of ever selling mine...
This is important and very sage advice. One of the big advantages of the defender is that you do not buy the perfect one you build the perfect one, whether you are doing that yourself or paying someone else. All you buy in the first instance is...
Another vote here for leaving it out. If you want to protect the floor of the back and double up as good sound proofing a sheet of stable matting does the trick and just leave the wheel boxes bare
I am the same as marjon, bare front to back with...
Hello @ederreis
I don't really understand what you need.
I haven't done this myself, but can't think why you would need to change the accellerator pedal and connection to the FiP.
Ashcroft are very good and helpful.
Perhaps you should give them...
I am beginning to look at another 110 as have a second child on the way, in the sprit of fairness after getting one for my son on the day he was born with a plan to rebuild in about 10 years time with him, I will need to do the same with this...
That is a neat sounding idea, but unless you have a horse of a dog I would have thought the solution does not need to be hugely over engineered if all the board is doing is taking the weight of the dog and their bed. What sort of seats do you...
Yellow and red is for the fog light. There will be one on each side (same as the brown and green for reverse) but only one side will be used for each if you are still original. The loom is the same for RHD and LHD, so depending on which side of...
The lift pump on my disco 200tdi failed yesterday, but it failed in a way I have not seen before, see the video below. Usually when they fail the internal diaphragm fails and it stops pumping, not the casing failing and it just pumping fuel out...
I use a latching solenoid (LINK) on mine with a switch on the dash rather than a remote. It is hidden in plain sight with all the other identical toggle switches. I also have a fused bypass link which keeps the radio programmed etc, but as soon...
No. Unfortuantly not, I did not find any new or second hand and am currently running with bare doors. I am not sure if I will bother with the diy route or not. I have other pressures on my time and they are fairly low down the Land Rover work...
I would not expect resealing to be part of a respray, and also not part of a re-chassis. it is a separate job that would have needed to be specified. I filled my gutters with white tiger seal to reduce the leaks. It is up to you if you dig out...
Just to throw another spanner in the works why have you chosen DT connectors rather than AMP econoseal connectors which do the same things, are a modern multi pin waterproof connector, and more importantly are what land rover used themselves in...
I have not looked, but my first port of call would be YRM. I have not found a body/chassis bracket yet that I have needed that they do not stock. It is also something that if they do not currently stock they may look to manufacture for you and...
Any high temp RTV sealant will do the job. I have used two different brands that were just the ones available on ebay at the time of needing it. Last one was designed to wood burning stove chimneys according to the advert!
It should be a fairly large brown wire with a ring terminal (originally attached to the starter) which would come out of the centre of the bulkhead and then go to the passenger side of the engine. I am not sure which side the starter is on for...
