    Direct 4X4 roof tent system

    That looks like a great deal. I thought these racks were good value at around the £500 mark https://www.facebook.com/Mcb4x4 Has anyone bought either of these and can offer their view?

    Driven to XS, what a sweet thing...

    I thought as much, I've been Googling (and dribbling) tonight and found a couple of 12 plates at £26k and similar 10 plates around the £21k/£22k Is the 2.2 engine considered better than the 2.4?

    Driven to XS, what a sweet thing...

    Drove past my local LR dealership today and noticed a 2010 Defender Utility with XS trim in a dark grey metallic. Called in to have a closer look and ended up having a test drive! What a lovely thing to drive, the seat went back further than my 110 with it's bulkhead, more elbow room, it...

    Grumbling swivels?

    I've started to notice a grumbling/grinding noise when I'm parked up and turning the steering from lock to lock. Feels fine when driving and it doesn't wander all over the road so I was wondering if they just need the oil/grease changing. I've had a quick look underneath and they don't appear...

    Jack question

    Does it come apart? If yes, the vertical bit might be upside down. Have a look at this photo of the 3 bits...

    Parkwood 4x4, Tong

    Thanks Spuggy, I only ever have my licence with me as the vehicle docs are kept at the office! Why do they need so much info, have they had problems with stolen cars being wrecked/dumped up there? Will definitely have a day out there in the future though. Might have to bring my passport as I'll...

    Td5 PTO project

    This is what you need for a TD5 I bought an ex-Electricity 110 that had a PTO winch on the front and a switch on the dash that increased and decreased the idle speed. Unfortunately for me, the winch and bumper were removed before the auction so I'm left with just this and the hydraulics...

    stolen defender 90

    Hope you get it back in one piece, I'm seriously considering having a Tracker fitted to mine. I read something about fitting an inline fuse on each indicator supply feed, would this prevent the alarm from being shorted out?
