sorry this was a few years ago I only found them by accident after a lot of searching, sorry Cheers Steve

really?? I regularly leave home in lancs to drive back to work in London Sun / Mon Nights, normally leave at 0130 - 2 am as the motorways are empty apart from a few trucks n police patrols 250 miles across the northwest, cheshire, midlands and home counties and they have never once taken a...

You certain the handbrake was on :) lol.... seriously though lucky break, glad they didnt suceed :) Cheers Steve

Only thing that put me off this one is the gap near the door pillar gives a very nice access point for a decent sized pry bar, posted this before and know a couple of people have had a piece stainless welded in before fitting to increase the security. Seems to be an absolutely pointless cut out...

its an ongoing build, i drive my 90 as a daily drive around twickenham and at home in lancs... 110 will be ready by summer :) Dunes1 by The_Wild_Boar, on Flickr cheers steve

Well since getting the 37's fitted to the 110 I've somehow felt they were inadequate and looked a little small n silly, so i bit the bullet when i heard a friend of a friend had 4 Maxxis Treps that he had ordered by mistake for a bargain price and they arrived today :) the 37's will be coming...

snapped in exactly the same place as mine after i rushed fitting a new head and missed the end nut off the stud, I also thought mine was just bent until stripped lol, swopped for the spare rocker shaft i had and the valve clearances were completely different, guess there is quite a variation in...

hammerite is hopeless as a chassis topcoat as it loves to chip and track water, red oxide isnt what it used to be as the good old H&S brigade have outlawed the lead that used to make it a good rustproofer, its now no different to cheap B&Q undercoat, just more expensive. That said i did my...

just removed mine and replaced using M10 socket caps, BZP so no rusting probs

Yet....... :)

Just back from an enjoyable few days away breaking in the new roof tent.... Couldnt have asked for better weather and what a cracking campsite.... Shell Island in Wales, no gestapo telling you where to camp, just turn up, pay up (dirt cheap at £12.50 for two per night) and pitch wherever you...

try direct 4x4 , they sell a roof rack with a raised section around the front quarter and the rest is flat, just bought one to go with their roof tent and very impressed, call em for a better deal than listed on the site Cheers Steve

I have theses lamps on the front n rear of my roof rack, paid £15 a lamp from a contact in the forklift industry (cost price plus vat to them), metal cased n very good but not spot lamps, they are flood lamps, make very good work lights and that is why the mod etc buy them along with ambulance n...

as the title suggests :) anyone got a good windscreen for a defender, surround etc not needed just a good glass cheers steve

I fitted disco 3 point rears in the front of the 110 with the disco receivers which are on fabric fittings, did the job perfectly and not too dear from a breaker cheers steve

considering a military pair with a cracked frame went for £220 last night on ebay :0 ... £300 seems a bargain cheers steve

not bad tyres but not the best in the wet on tarmac, then again that could be said of many mud biased tyres as well....... i liked em and they wore very well and would buy again if ever in the market for a standard width tyre cheers steve

Think I may have cured it but time will tell, tweaked the head bolts last night, not the most scientific but definately something astray, 25% of the bolts were solid, 50% allowed at least 60-90 degrees of movement without too much effort and the last 3 or 4 getting towards 180 degrees...

Me.... Any body give me a clue to the size of the metric female connector needed to attach to the clutch flexi on a disco / defender 300tdi, the clutch pipe I have just received has a female connector the same size as the one that attaches the brake pipe to flexi pipes and it is slightly...

My 300 TDI seems to be misbehaving, she isnt using any water but as she runs the header tank level goes up slowly (very slowly) and the system pressurises. after about 150 miles the header tank will be up to the neck and water level can be dropped by releasing the air out of the stat housing...
