Just a thought? Stainless isn't as conductive as copper............

Would be interested to know about this too. Price does look good.

Iv come to the verdict that Britpart is just a bit of a chance. Iv a britpart rad that seems to be ok and a rear door and probably some other things that are alright. But iv had 5 brand new alternators and not one has worked. You pay your money, you take your chance. Might be good might be ****e.

Used Mintex a lot in the past and they've always worked really well.

Series doors do my nut in with the sliding windows. Try looking out of one when going over bumps too. Painful!

Haha, I like that. There was a Land Rover camper on ebay with a nice Villager Woodburner in the back. How toasty would that be.:D

Haha I did wonder if you'd prove me wrong. Not seen that before, had to ask.;)

Errrrrr......isnt a pumpkin orange.lol

I went from 200tdi to 3.9 V8. Used Range Rover classic mounts welded on Range rover lT77 with Defender rear LT77 housing so I could use Defender linkage 2.5TD rad with leccy fan and controller Rimmerbros exhaust system A range rover fuel pump will actually bolt into a Defender tank, you just...

I was told that at about 130-140k you should be looking at needing new cam etc, but I have seen a lot on much higher mileage, although iv no idea what they've had done. Hopefully it's true that with good maintanence they can do decent mileage.

Last week I painted up a new Britpart rear door and some galvanised cappings. Fitted them. Paints not the best but it was my first time spraying so im actually quite pleased.:D Just need to clean up and paint my crossmember now. Also need to paint the hinges and fit the middle hinge but the pins...

This is true.lol

Hehe, she's a beast. The forest rover beside it is cool too.

I would say Heavy Duty springs are your friend if you want it to be a bit more solid. Although it will be quite bouncy off road.lol

Lets face it, you dont buy a 200Tdi for speed, its a "reliable" (or so im told) diesel with acceptable power I guess and is suitable for many of the uses in which a Defender is required. In comparison with other Diesels such as a 300Tdi I guess they are probably fairly similar as they have the...

Well, went through 3 alternators that didnt work. Moral of the story, dont buy britpart I guess. Seems they have a bad batch at the moment. Bought a second hand one for 20quid and it works spot on. 14.3 V. Think the next time im just going to get things rebuilt if I can. Id prefer a rebuilt...

Aye your telling me, messes everything up doesnt it.

265's will look lost in extended arches imo. Its a Land rover it gets dirty and so do you. Iv got them and dont have any problems. Its only a bit of mud.
