    Greenlaning nr Guildford?

    I'm doing the L2b and was going to be laning on the saturday. But with the weather being good and warm for the next few days I had better be sensible and waxoyl the beast on saturday whilst the weather is still warm. Degreased and jet washed today and a couple of days to dry out hopefully...

    Fitting LRS Headlight Guards

    Cheers, am still trying to get into the landy mentality of brute force and utilitarianism. Will set about it tomorrow...

    Fitting LRS Headlight Guards

    Hi All Yes I've done the typical noob thing of vajazzling my Landie and gone out and bought some LRS headlight guards. These are the kind that attach to the headlamp surround rather than the wing as I thought they would be easier for a non technical type like me. As their mounting points...

    110 vs 90 differences

    I shopped for a '90 for months and top of my list was a Tomb Raider. Then I found one locally for sale, took down a couple of mates to go and see it. Found that there was just NO ROOM in the back and when I came to add an oversized Retriever as well things would get pretty uncomfortable...

    Yep good for me, might be balancing a coffee cup and a bacon roll in the dash shelf. Is that the car park just off the A24?

    Greenlaning nr Guildford?

    Havent decided yet, I think depends on weather. Sounds quite good, a 70's themed party but Crystal Palace isn't exactly far from us :) You should go too, especially as next year will just be Surrey to Brighton which lacks a bit of kudos imho. Yes I'm really looking forward to my first green...

    Hi All Just got a 110 Defender and want to try my hand at easy off roading (Boxgrove Pit) and green laneing (when I can find someone mad enough to take me). But as I've never been off roading before and dont wanna make a total dick of myself I thought I'd do an hour or two's lesson...

    Waxoyl Treatment Recomendations Surrey/Sussex/Kent

    Good tip about pressure gun thanks, found this one.. Waxoyl High Pressure Spray Gun at www.rimmerbros.co.uk In terms of prep, its very clean underneath so I think a good wash and degrease with detergent, wire brush to flaky bits. Then do you think waxoyl on top or do you think some type of...

    Waxoyl Treatment Recomendations Surrey/Sussex/Kent

    Right boyed up by your assurances oh how easy it is... here is my plan... 1) Buy some car ramps at least 240mm wide, 2.5T capacity. 2) Put landy on ramps in low, 1st and in diff lock. 3) Jet wash everything front end, and repeat 2 & 3 for rear end. 4) Leave to dry for a day or so 5) Buy a...

    Waxoyl Treatment Recomendations Surrey/Sussex/Kent

    Its not so much the spraying I'm concerned about, although without a pit or a ramp it could be an unpleasant process. Its the scraping and cleaning off the flaking that sounds like a pig, have read elsewhere that it'll take about 2 days. Now I'm not flush by any means but suddenly £400 for...

    Waxoyl Treatment Recomendations Surrey/Sussex/Kent

    Just got my first Defender, 1 2001 110 CSW and want to get it waxoyled. The underneath looks pretty sound atm and I want to try and keep it that way. Some of the doors are going a bit in small places. Anyone got any recommendations as to who is good in Surrey/Sussex/Kent, good as in proper...

    Hi everyone, Took delivery of my first land rover nearly two weeks ago, a 2001 110 TD5 CSW. Supposedly as a second car for the bad weather but since then the BMW Touring has stayed in the garage and the grin has stayed on my face. Want to do a bit of green laning / white route 4x4, maybe at...
