    Stolen Discovery 300tdi M473 XJO

    Sorry to hear this.... Thanks for posting it on Landywatch too. Some pics uploaded both on here and over there too will help folk to keep a look out. If you could complete Ratty's security survey on here too that would be handy. Have updated the database/map on the other place :)

    Anyone recognise this defender on eBay

    From what I can work out, a Defender has a greater number of VIN markings to an SIII and they're in different locations.... Even if the SIII vin is the one in the picture (I'm convinced SIII and fender plates look different, or at worst, a subtle difference in the name of the company on the...

    Anyone recognise this defender on eBay

    Just did a basic reg check. As Chunkymonkey says before, the reg ties in with the description in the ad. Body style says 'Light 4x4 Utility', so what he says about the LEZ could be right though as from what I understand, it goes off what the V5 says. You can see the VIN plate in one of the...

    Brand New Landy Stolen - Bicester Oxfordshire

    Hi Defender90uk, Spotted your post earlier... but only just got some time to post on here. My 110 was in there yesterday & today and having seen your post earlier I asked the parts/admin guy a bit more about it over the phone. Maybe he didn't want to say too much or indeed didn't know...

    Security Devices

    @ Ratty.... Of the 39 useful reports we got... 23 didn't bother reporting anything in terms of security at all... so we got to discount them for now. Of the 16 that did report security, only 4 specified anything over and above standard LR factory security. Rather than using the poll method...

    Security Devices

    I've just been analysing the info provided on the 39 trucks reported stolen on Landywatch since it was set up in Feb'11. We've had more reports than 39 pinched but the posters don't elaborate enough to make it any use. Of the 39 pinched, a bit of info. - 35 were Defenders (or pre...

    Landyzone Good Causes Fund

    Cracking idea but like Stuballsed said, I think as an individual, Storm99, you might fall foul of the system... Perhaps another way is to set up a Landyzone fundraising page on charitygiving.co.uk, a bit like these folk Charity Giving - Charity Fundraisers That way, folk on here could make...

    Wheel bearing question

    Cheers for the replies. My ignorance totally I know. I didn't appreciate that the bearings could deteriorate that quickly without some form of prior warning. James - thanks for the other pointers - will be checking it all out over the weekend. No issue with the hammer action going on...

    Wheel bearing question

    Folks, Just had to have my ns front wheel bearing replaced pdq after some god awful grinding noises suddenly developed whilst on way to work yesterday morning. Local garage, not LR specialist, that sorted it for me said that there was some significant play on the ns front wheel and it took...
