Apologies for dragging up an old post. Being fed up with my Dixon Bate adjustable plough on my 2003 Double Cab and only doing occasional towing I am interested in the receiver hitch system. Reading all of the above regarding legality and type approval I have realised my Defender is vehicle type...

I'm not a plumber but maybe it's like a turbo hose collapsing under pressure, the braided hoses are easy to replace tho.

Have a look at jetex.co.uk, they supply all types of exhaust parts.

Do they have Halfords in Canada ? Long trip for some tools

I just typed Santana Landrovers and Wikipedia was the first to come up.

Looked at Wikipedia, it looks like a Santana 2000 Forward Control. I can't post links on this tablet thing I'm using just now.

Is it a Santana creation from Spain ?

Wish I had a garage, only got a gravel drive at the side of the house. Good work landy -lee.

The one in landy-lee's first photo is basically a rubber tube much like a garden hose, it is split along the bottom to allow it to be slid over the spring coil.

All I can say is that my springs with the isolators fitted to the top of the rear spring were fitted by the factory.

When I recently replaced my standard factory springs, the rear had those isolators on the rear springs fitted at the top of the spring. There were none on the front springs. ( The ones in your first photo )

I'm sure the 2.5 ltr engine had a timing chain.

In just reloading 308 for work, in the good old days it was 38spl/357, 9mm and 45acp for fun.

Nice to see some reloaders :)

Don't know if it helps, but a td5 double cab Ifor Williams fits my Airportable.

They are from the genuine parts catalogue that frog hopper posted a picture of on page 1. Cost is around £60.

Some more parts diagrams for @Where’s_That?

Once my camera batteries are charged I will photo the seat belt section for @Where’s_That?

Dont know if this will help.

Yes, I replaced my rusty one with the galvanised one from YRM.
