I've voted... That makes it 2 then now! :D

I was out on 'public land rover service' last night looking for victims, but nothing... Until my best mate called me about half tem and his bird had written her clio off. Oops!

It'll be full of **** and slime - take rear prop shaft off and the handbrake drum and clean it all up. Problem is crap can find it's way in there, but can't get back out. Did mine not so long since and it's spot on now. A bit of a faff but it'll do until I get an x-eng disc brake.

Nice one guys, thanks for the pointers... Griffdowg, that link is very useful - cheers. Will get it booked in this aft. Steve

Time for the Defender to go in for it's MOT and just got a couple of questions... Will any of the following be issues? No front mud flaps No rear anti-roll bar Cracked front number plate - should I replace it? Took one of the rear reflectors off to fit the wheel carrier / hi-lift Tyres have...

The FedEx van will be driving around wearing your new wheels!

Thought so - thanks. Are they alright? I've been trying to decide if I should get some and yours look great!

I had a couple of issues with a local guy who recommended, but soon un-recommended! I killed a diff at a play day and it was one of the middle cogs which broke - nothing major. They said it'd be a worst case of £250 to fix the diff. I thought it would be a great chance to stick an ARB locker...

What tyres you got on there ratty? Are they Insa's or Simex?

Hi, I was looking at some Second Skin stuff from Car Audio Direct a few months back and asked them how it would cope in the defender, considering it would at times be completely immersed in water and mud. Here's the response: I haven't got round to buying any yet but I reckon I will try...

Same with un-taxed motors and stuff... They're crushed, regardless of value. So wasteful it's sickening. Why not send them off to auction and stick the money back into the system or do something useful with it? And if the shredders are still hungry for things to munch up then we can always feed...

My mate has got a Husky on his 110 and the winch and bumper are huge! No doubt it's fantastic, but carrying all that extra weight around when it hardly gets used seems a bit overkill to me. I've got a T-Max 11000lb jobby on the back of my defender and it's not let me down yet. It isn't the...

If there is one (or two) pieces of advice I would give when fitting a winch is don't bodge the fooker! You might think it's alright when it goes in and workis, but I nearly lost my pride and joy when my cheap wire melted on the exhaust pipe, and started smoking. There was no fuse and no...

Hi All, I've got some 18" Range Rover alloys on my motor at the moment and they look the dogs whatsits. The BGF ATs are killing me at the moment as they're like running road tyres! I'm trying to find some good mud terrains to go on these so I can get my money's worth out of the air locker, and...

I have a similar problem with mine, but it did involve a little too much water! It got in from the top of the seat box when I was stuck in some water which was a bit too deep. Fortunately the door seals are pretty good as it was up to the windows! You need to make sure you dry it out properly...

Well unfortunately my belt has broken and I haven't got a sodding spanner to get it off with! And how embarressing, to be Landrover-less during the time when it would otherwise show everything else up! Damn thing!

It's useful to me!

I agree, and I have some one mine - but a chequer-plated roof and bumper?! Maybe they wear the stuff as well!

Ooooh, check out this bumper! Defender Td5 County Station wagon For Sale (2002) on Car And Classic UK

Sound advice, mine broke and it cost the best part of 200 quid to get it right again... Had to go to the engineers and be reskimmed and all that other crap the garage like to bill you for! :rolleyes:
