You know how it is... see one going cheap and you just have to bid! So Defender number 3 is on its way to me! Only this one is sold as an off roader.. so no ID, just looking for a way to either do it up and keep it for playing out. Or getting it back on road either as a q plate or using...

I had seen them Meck locks this weekend, I like the Italians take on fitting them to the brakes! Lol nowt like a heart attack. I am sure it could be done DIY for a lot less? Its only a one way valve with a switch to turn it off!

Wow found my 1st Business Partner! :D I am more of an optomistic person and tend to smash any brick walls that stand in my way. I understand that there can be a lot of red tape, but considering that some sites in the UK have been set up by grants and government money I am sure that it can be...

Ok first if anyone knows of any pay and play sites in the area could you list them. Secondly anyone know of any pay and play sites in the area for sale? Or any land that would make a good pay and play site that is to rent or for sale? I am thinking that it could be a good business to get...

I may see if my mate fancys a treck over that way. Not sure I will have time to fit the Snorkel and other bits that are on the to do list... Let alone start it!

Or what I do and tell her to oder it online?!?! Boot of the Disco is organised into boxes but full of crap. Boot of defender is empty! Don't want crap hitting me on head if it rolls over! Or as my mate found out the Sat Nav getting wet when it fills with water at a quicker rate than you...

Yep that is how its done. Put key in and put something in the hole on the side to push the pin in. Wiggle the lock out. Push new barrel in. Job done. Petrol cap was a pain in the arse as I took mine apart to find there was a simple way to do it, just would need to see it to remember.

Too dark now? I was just about to go start my HID conversion! lol Only promised to be home for 7 So may not be the best Idea to start now!

Paid £8 for them doing as they could fit them in so I could have them back this morning. I have spent the day spraying them black so now they look the business! Just had one up against the wheel arch and they look cool. I would say adding a set of black alloys and new tyres could add a...

Just seen the "landrover discovery 4x4 off road 300tdi Item condition: New " If I had known it was NEW I may have bid!!!!! LOL The othere one I think will be in Ireland. Good time to buy out there as you can treat the mrs to a Paddy day trip 17th and accidently fall over a very good...

Oh forgot to say I got Rims last night from Ebay. £50 for 5 with center caps. 4 x land rover discovery alloy wheels and tyres 205R16 on eBay (end time 13-Mar-10 20:09:41 GMT) I was going to get these with the tyres on and get the guy to swop them and keep the tyres to try and get the...

No most places will do it. I am shocked at the price tho £13 a wheel at the guy who sells part worn tyres! I was in a hurry so went to the garage that do the company vans £8 a go... Was going to wait and have them done for free in the garage over the way. (Price includes a new valve)

Nope they are in the same place.... Just when he has welded it up the right one is upside down!!!! LOL :doh::doh::doh: Reminds me of a Remote Controled Plane I built as a kid, too thousands of my savings, hours and hours to do. My mother told my dad it may be a good chance to spend some...

These ended not long back for £660 was going to bid but was worried as they were from Liverpool and didn't want some fellow 4x4 gezzer thinking I stole them from him! Wish I had got them now! And simply kept the guys address to pass on the the last owner and police! lol should they have been...

Dont get me wrong if this had been for my RS Turbo kit car then I would never have even contemplated a remould but not like I am going to be doing 0-145-0 challenges in my defender! Unless I acidently get hit/caught on an ground to air missile! I mean a 0-60-0 without it shaking its rust off...

That was Paddocks! Includes the Steels Wheels too. I have been looking on Ebay and seen them go from £16 upto stupid money used. However I didnt want to have to wait 6 weeks to get a set! The sets of 4 or more were 300-500 with wheels. And £330 for 4 tyres. I paid £280 for a set of 5 New...

Ok no bugger replied so I went for the KingPin route!!!! Reasoning.... 1) If they are crap I will flog them and upgrade to Insa Turbos or better ones. 2) If I went for Insa Turbo then they are still Remoulds! 3) They come with an E mark so must be ok! (Or one would hope but I deal with...

I think it depends on the age of the car... If they are not there they don't have to be worn. If they are they do! As for side lap belts working or not?!?!?? Think they can do a lot of damage to body if in a bad crash. But no more than going through the windscreen and down the road! In a...

:confused2: Lol I am worried I may be Mr Tickle! As I did mine all alone! Just wedged the ajustable spanner in the wheel arch and had it tight on the nut. Ok every now and again it falls off but I couldn't be bothered waiting for my helper to return from Mc Donnalds! Lol. (Mole grips would...

Ok I am thinking of getting some off road tyres for my defender 90. I have looked at Insa Turbos as they are what my mate has and they look the business and proform well off road. I have seen the Kingpin copys and like the price but have seen the warnings too! Wondering are King pin...
