I took it off the road after buying it, the paperwork was BS and it needed sorting out before it became an issue with the law or insurance,

going to be in a couple of weeks time from st18 to ws10 and back again after the test,

It will be needed to towed to the test centre. hang around until the test is completed, return it back, then i dare say make yet another trip to the test centre after a couple of visits to my local garage and back and so on, i reckon a second hand trailer that i could sell later would be cheaper...

101 chopped defender that's a mish mash of other vehicles, want to get it legal so gone down the IVA route .. blimey this is fun

well thats not cheered me up

Currently unregistered.

ab out 20 miles to the IVA test centre..

a 101 hard top, its been chopped, van style empty in the back

could anyone shed any light on the origins of this gearbox OR IF IVE GOT THE RIGHT NUMBER, all part of my endeavours to get the truck through the IVA this is the only number i could find after a bit of careful paint removal 56A0017833G pic attached so you can see where the I found the number...

Lichfields not too far, im near rugeley, got a number?,

i believe its 2700kg which is enough? for my landy my local garage told me this morning..

Any hints or tips , type of trailer needed for towing my defender, i'm thinking of buying one, have a newish hilux for towing it but not sure about trailer type to buy?

no nobble needed, keeping the Hankooks for the nobblyness, this is IVA test stuff and a may as well havean alternative, the landy is a camper conversion, well will be when its finished so as much fun as off roading is thats going to play a smaller part than usual

they are 16 x 7s , purely by chance .. but thanks for that..

i currently have some Hankooks on extended rims which will never in a month of Sundays pass an IVA test but do look rather good. so i have bought some standard 16in wheels and want to pop some damn good road tyres on, something that will make a lot of sense for motorway driving and handling in...

I wonder 'why' and wonder 'what' did i buy but its now a love affair with a landy that is chopped up and not what it said on the tin .. ''series 2a'' hahaha more defender with a split screen but what would I know, liked the look of it so bought it.. anyway . im heading towards a DVLA IVA n1...
