I'm just outside of Reading (Aren't I the lucky one!) always up for some greenlaning and often around the local area or up Newbury/Compton way

where's the fun in that? :p IMO.. if Land Rover had stuck simpler electricary in the P38, then just going from what I've heard about them as I've not owned one, they'd be as reliable as any other model in comparison! my brother was driving a P38 for a while.. air sus broke, as did most of the...

:hysterically_laughi are you just showing off that you've been to the beach? ya lucky bugger!

that'll be where I come in :D like to think I know more than enough to make sure you don't end up with a lemon mate! especially as I'll be the one helping to fix it if that time comes now stop faffing about so I can watch you get stuck :D sorry, mean help you gain some offroad driving experience

mine's a tad on the squeaky side, might have to have a looksee tomorrow and see what's what oh oh oh... I'm spitting distance from Reading! gimme a shout if anyone's going for a play any time

Happy days! sounds like the Stevie wonder MOT's I've had in the past :D

what advantage do you get from fitting a TD5 transfer box?

Must resist! almost had me :D

oooooooooooooo nope, I'm just too simple to get it! :D

ah ha! got it it's in the common faults and questions... obvious when ya think about it! Cheers guys

ahhh good shout, I shall have a look should have searched... but all I'd have searched for is 'water' (which comes back with 500 results if anyone is wondering :biggrin1: )

drop arm - the angled arm thingy ma jig that sits under the chassis, bolted to the power steering box that the front steering bar joins to... if that makes ANY sense? the balljoint on it is supposed to be packed with grease, but dries out and wears into the arm

I guess the easy answer is going to be welly's! :D

Hi and welcome (feels a bit wrong saying that as I'm new myself!) don't wish to tell you how to suck eggs but will cover all inc. the basics Ref the clutch, the gearbox can be lowered down in defenders as the chassis x-member unbolts unlike the series landies.. still not a fun job but thought...

I have too much time on my hands while at work... so stupid random questions are bound to pop up from me all the time! :D:D so, anyone actually got a water tight defender around the doors n floorpan? no matter how shallow I wade, I'm always getting wet feet from somewhere!

dump valve? :hysterically_laughi er... had to have a look though (uncontrollable need to click on links!), who'd waste best part of £200 :crazy:

:D not done a conversion myself, but the pro's might need to know what engine is it coming out of the disco?

there's the remains of a hi-lift bracket bolted on the back of my 90.. bracket is on the body capping but looks as if it would cover most of the tail lights :confused:

Oh... wouldn't mind getting stuck in with some meets / greenlaning with you guys anything happening reasonably close to me? (Berkshire based)

Thanks for the welcome everyone nice to see there's some characters here :biggrin1:
