    Defender Bulkhead Vents - Blanking Plates

    I have replaced the foam seal strips on my 2004 TD5 90 CSW but with this driving rain water is making its way past the seals and into the landy. I am (in the summer) going to replace the seals with the older rubber ones but does anyone know if its possible to get the blanking plates (the same as...

    Turner Engineering - new head supplier......

    Hiya, PM me if you like and I can phone you. I had a new TD5 head from Turners about 5 months ago (see my other threads) after I developed "porosity" on the fuel rail around number 2 injector... and blew the turbo, head etc etc... Land Rover told me to bugger off (3 1/2 old 90 with 70,000...

    What tyres ?

    I have moved from ATs to Cooper STT - more agressive pattern and very good in mud and slimey road surfaces, loose b roads and hard quarry compacted chippings. I would expect them to be good in the snow as well. Highly recommended.

    Have to say that I just had my replacment XP3 Quest deleivered. I had some personal emails from Bob P (CEO of Sonim) and their EU Sales Director. I got a refund of £100 and two gifts (a spare battery and car charger) plus a new phone - I am very impressed with their after sales service and the...

    'Fake' Defender Windscreen Hinges

    Hello, In common with many my windscreen ‘fake’ hinges on my 2005 90 have oxidised and are now missing most of their paint. I was thinking about replacing with genuine folding hinges (well primed and painted) and understand that MXC7847 LH and MXC7846 RH could be used. Has...

    Anybody bought the Land Rover Phone yet?

    Interesting - I bought a Sonim XP3 Quest about 6 weeks ago. It had dead pixels from new so B4U Direct and Sonim have agreed to replace it but now due to "internal difficulties" Sonim tell me there are all out of stock and production is on hold... time for a refund methinks!

    235/85 v 265/75 - what is best on Boost Alloys

    Any views on going for a wider tyre on a standard 90. Got the option of some Cooper Descoverer STT in a wider fitting (265/75) cheaper than the standard size (235/85) via TyreSpec.co.uk (10% discount and free Delivery)...

    Hi, My local National Tyre have offered to fit and balalce 4 Cooper STT on my 90 (265/75 16) for £490 all in... seems a good deal to me but I wondered if they were any good. They woudl be a change for BF Goodrich AT2s which have done just under 60,000. Is anyone using the new Cooper STT at...

    Anybody bought the Land Rover Phone yet?

    OK... so my thoughts are dont do it. I bought a Sonim XP3 Quest (which is the same as the Landrover phone) but it was SIM free and only £245. The GPS was excellent and the inbuilt software worked will in the UK. Web browsing was by Java rather than the normal applications but couple of problems...

    Is GB CB only for Off Road use ?

    I get a few users in mid wales and lots more in North - the M4 and A470 get a lot of trucker traffic and on off road events its great - I get about 10 miles range from my unit with a long airial and a low SWL.

    Leaking center roof/body seal

    Run a line of black Sikaflex 291 in the join and while you have the tube open, seal round the floor pans the centre pan (under the middle seat or cubby box) and you will solve a whole load of potential leak spots - highly recommended product.
