Hilux all the way in my opinion, mine has lasted me years. Ford Ranger? Forestry use them. VW Amorak?

My mum was out today with my sisters kids in the back of her Rav4 and some muppet coming the opposite way on a straight bit of road was going too fast and lost it, snaked down the road and took out the 2 cars behind her. Two cars on their roof in a ditch and the other in a field. He was in a...

Nice truck. Looks very unusual for a jeep.

Looks like a fun toy, you would obviously get the price down a bit and if its what you want go for it. I would decide after a good test drive if its worth the money, at the end of the day it's a cheap enough toy.

All the comments seem to appear to be in favour of FlatDog. I guess this thread is making them look good and you look foolish!

He called it a truck though, at least he got something right with his jeep!

Yep.........now that's what I call funny!

Used them a few times now and been very pleased with the service and pricing.

Not had my first Defender long and loving it. 2005 CSW and has proved pretty reliable so far.

Found it. This is the link and its covered on there. Should be a sticky. water ingress manual

I had a similar issue and traced it to the brackets on the bottom of the windscreen. I removed both and refitted with black silicone on both sides and now both front footwells dry. I looked at the brackets as a friend who has a defender had the same issue and did the same to resolve it. I have...

Looks great, welcome!

I agree!

Nice, love the post. Apparently our views are unimportant though as we haven't racked up enough posts telling people to "use the search" or told people "it's not a truck" or generally tried to annoy/abuse newcomers to the forum. Just as well the idiots are outnumbered by helpfull individuals...

Didn't know that! Thought the split charge system and 2 battery's was all you needed?

Go to your local scrappy and get a used battery. I have done this for years and you will be amazed what you can get for £15. I have even had an optima yellow top running my sheeps electric fence that looked brand new. Just tell them what way round you need the terminals and what CCA you need. I...

I had a similar problem with my van and that needed a new injector bracket as one was damaged during the fitting of the new seals. I would imagine it is leaking from somewhere near where the work was done so will need checking again. The problem when you start doing stuff in that area is it can...

I would agree!

Very noble!

Exactly, another bit of kit not required by 99% of Defender owners. I would be curious to know how many people have spent more time fitting them than time it has saved them, probably another 99% statistic!
