    Locking wheel nuts for Defender

    I want to buy a set of five locking wheel nuts for LR Defender 110. Is there a good alternative to LR originals? What would be the approximate price? Where could I get them?

    LR nut/bolt sizes

    Anyone looked at Landrover sites based in other countries? What is it about segments of Britain that seem to take pride in a kind of "anti-culture"?

    Bed for Defender 110

    I have a Defender 110 Td5 County station wagon and would like to have a bed in the back, either permanently fitted but collapsible, or in some other way. Have thought of aluminium (have a wooden, three-section folding board at present: terribly heavy and unwieldy, and needs replacing). Could...

    Hi-lift jack?

    Please forgive if this is a silly question. I've been thinking of buying a heavy-duty hi-lift jack for my Landrover Defender Td5 station wagon, 110, but am wondering about the jack I already have, the one that came with the vehicle. THAT is "hi-lift" (it has to be, to be able to lift a wheel...

    Auxiliary fuel tank

    I'm looking to fit either a 45-litre or 100-litre fuel tank to my LR 110 County Station wagon. Depending on which of these it was, that would give extra range of approximately either 495 or 1100 km (at a fuel consumption rate of 11.3km/litre, present consumption). I live in Oman, but am not...

    Durability of window grilles

    Regarding metal window grilles that have been zinc pacifated and powder coated, what is their durability/resistance to weathering/rusting? I live in a hot, sometimes wet coatal climate. It's said to be ideal for causing deterioration to bodywork, etc.

    Material for air intake

    Which is better and why: a raised air intake (snorkel) made of galvanised metal, or one made of plastic?

    Security Grills for Defender 110 hardtop

    I want to have protective (anti-theft) grills for all windows of my Defender 110 Td5 (2005). For the rear door and two small windows at the rear, I thought of having grills pemanently fixed, inside. For the two rear side windows, also permanent grills, probably, and these would likely be...

    Head restraint

    Might sound like a minor point (though in view of possible protection from whip-lash injury, perhaps not), but I'd like to get it right. On my new Defender 110, 2005, one of the head restraints won't stay in position. At first was immovable, then local LR agent worked their magic. Now lifts...

    UK supplier??

    Could anyone please remind me of the name of that big, well-known UK outfit that does LR conversions and sells various add-ons?

    Carrying spare fuel

    I asked local LR agent about fitting an extra fuel tank to my 2005 Defender 110. They don't want to do this, saying that the addition of a filler inlet on RHS behind passenger door will "spoil the bodywork". Instead, they suggest the frequently-found option of brackets for two jerry cans on...

    Great advice. Just what I needed.

    Raised air intake

    I want to get a raised air intake (snorkel) for my Defender 110. Landrover Oman asked for equivalent of GBP 558 for the part alone (fitting extra). How much would this part cost in UK or elsewhere?

    Fuses

    Please forgive what is probably a stupid question. I suppose -am I right- that a fuse is a fuse is a fuse. I want to carry a spare set for my Defender 110: if I buy them from Landrover I might well be paying over the odds, so figure I can pick them up at any spares shop (I live in Oman).

    Running in Defender 110, Td5

    What road speeds, for each gear, should I use for running-in, and for what mileage? I've heard "don't exceed 3000 rpm", but am new to diesel engines and don't know what this means in real terms (no tacho, on my model, obviously; LR have put a clock (???) rather than something useful). The...
