    Ratty's Poll - Security devices.

    Spoke to local bobby in Asda car park about security and theft. He said my Grab-lock was useless as thieves carry portable angle grinders; same goes for lock to gearbox; Ardlock for Pedals is very good (at least I had one good thing) as it takes so long to drill even with high power drill and...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Sailed through the MOT with only one advice: small crack in windscreen less than 10mm :clap2:

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Bolted old rear door handle between cubby box and passenger seat for disabled friend to grab onto on corners. She had a stroke and has trouble with balance now. Kids come in useful - get under there and hold that bolt in place :D

    Defender 90 TD5 Flat Spot

    Just had her out for a spin; working well then sluggish again. Pulled up and after liberal amounts of WD40 and a few more push pulls it seems to be okay now; went up hill fine. Will keep an eye on that and maybe thrash her a bit more. Endless traffic snag ups around here and average 25-45 mph...

    yeah it was a bit stiff - hopefully that was it. Going for a run this afternoon and will let you know. You learn something new on here every day. Never had a problem with the turbo area before. Thanks for the help

    Defender 90 TD5 Flat Spot

    Recently had a service at Landy 'Specialist' and now have two problems. Used to travel up hills with no problems but now she loses power and slows from 60 to 45 whereas she used to be able to accelerate up hill to 70+ if needed. Also now have flat spot when accelerating on motorway. You can put...

    Adrian Flux should wear a highwayman mask

    I was with Adrian Flux and the first year was okay but the second year they wanted double the premium even with the advertised discount for being in the LRO Club - no justifying that one. My current insurer has just done the same. Best to shop around. I was quoted £387 and just got it elsewhere...

    Def 90 TD5 front windows

    Trying to get something done before winter as last year got rained on, snowed on etc. I like it down a bit most of the time. Never had it on my old 90 which made me think there's a problem - maybe I was just lucky?:)

    Def 90 TD5 front windows

    Thanks, will do. Don't think it's the switch as it was brand new but the earth and the connectors will check in the morn and let you know. Rarely use it but when some arsehole shoots through the crossroads on A47 near Cambs and it don't work then the air turns blue :mad2:

    Def 90 TD5 front windows

    Problem on windy days (not through baked beans:D) with drivers window not closing. When there is a side wind it moves in / out at the top so it doesn't fit in the channel. Is there anything I can put in the runner to prevent this? Most of the runners I have seen don't have the felty / rubber...

    Some of the scum now in jail.

    Quite scary as they all look vaguely familiar like people I have seen before in town

    West & North Norfolk BE AWARE!!!!!!

    Landrovers and 4x4's are being targeted in this area; approx 2 per week according to local rags. Everything from complete vehicle to wheels and exhausts. One landy even set on fire.

    Front Centre Seat Removal

    :D Thanks for that. Done it; after a bit of swearing and a scratched arm - at least it's sunny today so no wet rrrrs. Think previous owner must have put new seat in as bolt came off much easier than normal for a landie.

    Would an extension rod do if a skinny arm wasn't available? Having the same problem with Def TD5
