    help legal??

    I just checked my V5 and it has no details about the number of seats. Only really talks about engine size and class of vehicle (maybe due to being a 1991, and old). So If I increase the number of seats, there is no reason to inform and amend the V5? just the insurance policy. 6 people sounds...

    bench seats

    I think if you introduced seats into the back, then your not allowed anyone under 135cm, and under 12 years of age. But, if you have rear sideward facing seats as standard, then you can have anything above 3 years upwards unrestrained. You can not have chilrden under 3 in any circumstance in...

    Snorkelie Thing

    mmmm any ideas how to locate problem areas? everything is really enclosed. Update: as you take the vent cover off, you can see a few mm gap around the edge (near the top only) of where the wing is and the air vent structure (cant see daylight tho). Is this likely to affect intrigerity of the...

    hey ya. I wanted to see how airtight the air intake was before I fixed my snorkel. I placed a carrier bag over the air intake on my defender 90 200tdi and the engine coughed, but does not cut out while in idle. But, its strugling. What does this mean, does this imply I have a hole in my air...

    Hello and Question

    running costs? ie fuel I can get about 25 mpg. My c5 hatchback only did 32 mpg. So not to different. Tax is cheaper than the c5, as not under new car tax stipulations and prices. Insurance is also cheaper than the c5. get a landrover!
