I'd have been tepted to give it either two or even three coats of primer, followed by a couple more coats of colour than suggested. Its the perfect time to do it, when in its bare form and you might as well protect it as best you can whilst its easy. A few extra coats will cost a few days now...

If its just a clutch plate you're after, I have an AP driveline clutch plate spare if you're interested. PM me if you are.

Thats because the company trades with a couple of websites!

They're already tinted. My main concern wasnt necessarily people seeing whats in the back, but being able to open the sliding windows relatively easy. I suppose even with the solid panels, a defender isn't exactly the hardest thing in the world to break into... Cheers for the suggestion though...

I take it you have a "factory produced" utility, as opposed to what I'm planning on doing.. Does the bulkhead go to roof level, ie the boot is totally seperate to the seating? Mine will have straight through access, which is a benefit.

bmp42, cheers, very useful... hughesy, read bmp42's reply. gives pro's and cons based on personal experience. **** it, think i might just buy a lovely green 1965 defender 90 I've seen on Ebay!!!

I have a set of 88" panels for my 110. I currently have a 9 seat csw, but i hardly ever use the rear 4 seats as I habe a dog cage in the boot for my Ridgeback. I really like the look of the newer Utility model. Should I replace the windowed panels with the 88" solid ones, or keep the glass...

Yes. the £90 was for the actual key, which is cnc cut to physically fit the car. If you took the key like this, it would open the lock, but nothing else. The electronic programming bit was done at dealer. Took half an hour.

They look cool, but they are stupid money... I beleive they're £1400 a pair, not that it makes much difference - stilll not gonna buy em! Couldnt you have gotten better acces for the side lights, by just removeing the headlamps?

In winter, I carry a spade, snow shovel, chainsaw and axe, as well as my normal recovery gear

My key for a L322 was £90 + half hours labour to program it... £140 ish. Dont know anything about 4 keys max

Had em on my L322 and they were very good. The mounting brackets are hidden from view, so if you remove the guards in the future, you wont see that they've been fitted.

This is sort of true, but you can drive a minibus on a car license, even if you dont have grandfather rights............. subject to certain criteria I'm not sure whether or not your school project would be in "work time" or "play time" though... Holders of a full category B (car)...

I had issues with my Range Rover, it was the sat nav unit in the boot. Theres a vent which leaks water into the bay. I ended up removing the units and drying them out for a few days.

If you have millions of pounds to spend, try RED WINCHES. They are awesome looking, fitted to lots of the newer military vehicles ( Mastiff, Ridgeback, etc) Bloody expensive though...

The answer depends on a few different things... Here is the answer I gave CoupeUK in his post... For starters, you need to know what parts are required, and what different winches are available...the main two are electric and hydraulic. Electric winches are (relatively) easy to fit, then run...

So I was having a mooch through Land Rover Monthly today, dangerous, I know. Saw an arcticle on Daytime running lights. I noticed the car in the arcticle had a strange set of headlights. They looked like they were LED Headlights. They looked pretty cool. I decided to se if I could find out...

1. Look at the top of the page, find the search box 2. Fill in the search box..... Maybe put in something like,I dont know; "solid flywheel" 3. Brace yourself... the next bit is really clever. 4. Marvel at the magic of modern technology 5. Click away to...

I'm still toying with going for a kit from TD5 Alive. Gotta save up though! This is the one I'm after.... Performance Package 2 - Stage 2 spec. As Package 1, but further increasing power, torque and efficiency. Ideal for those who tow a large heavy trailer or caravan, or who need increased...
