Thanks, Am surprised to learn I can tow 3.5 with over run brakes. Thought I would need some mods. Ref driving licence. Will check but passed test 40 years ago so asssume OK? Mike

I have a 110 Defender Puma and understand I should be able to tow 3.5 Tons? I am thinking of buying a boat that weighs 2.5 tons and guess a suitable trailer will take the weight up to around 3.5 tons. Question is... What do I need to do to my vehicle to be able to legally tow this trailer? I...

I have been advised to refer to my V5 section 4. If the vehicle is classed as N1 (as mine is) it is 50/60/70. If it is M1 it is the same as a car. Mike

My pal has just attended a speed awareness course and has returned claiming the instructor/adviser is unaware of the correct limits himself. As a result I thought I would check the limits on his behalf (he does not have a computer). I currently own a Defender 110 Hard Top first registered Sept...

The body cappings on my 2 year old Defender 110 Hard Top Puma are rusting nicely & will soon need replacing in order to keep the vehicle looking in a respectable condition. I have been googling but have been unable to find any. Please is anyone aware who supplies them. I will need the 2 long...

Just a word of caution. When I painted the bumper on my last Defender it looked like crazy paving afterwards. God knows why? I sprayed primer and gloss straight onto the cleaned black bumper. Guess there must have been a reaction between whatever Land Rover coat the bumpers with & the primer I...

Hi Wheels244, I am trying to determine whether I will be able to fit bigger wheels/tyres to my Defender 110. Could you advise what width your tyres are and the wheel offset. Thanks Mike

Hi, A good few years ago I had a 200Tdi Defender 110 and had chrome modular wheels with much larger tyres than standard. Unfortunately I cannot remember the size. I am hoping to fit something similar to my Defender 110 Hard Top Puma and wondered if anyone knows what size would be OK without...
