Is that right? I always thought it was a pre-requisite. Happy days then, thanks. I don't want to spend owt on a spare as I intend to buy a full set of proper tyres on modulars at a later point On a final note, thanks for not giving me the sarcastic arsey answers that I fully expected! I...

I have a similar question. my 110 is due an mot and my spare is buggered. I have the old 7.5" x 16's on the old style steels. I have a set of disco steels and a couple of decent BFG M/T's that are 225 x 75 x 16. They measure out at a couple of inches smaller on the diameter. Would this be...

Just added mesen. Bit sparse around Stoke On Trent.

What a crock of ****. How much wildlife gets disrupted by the coach loads of ramblers association sandal wearers that descend on the villages of the peaks every summer? I own a landrover and am a keen walker and mountaineer and spend plenty of time in the peaks as its on my doorstep. I've...

Yes, based in Newcastle Under Lyme. No, we don't have a laser cutter, we buy profiles cut though.

My pan folder has a removable angle on the front plate so that you can bend returns of around 15mm. Anything below that and you need someone with a good quality offset pressbrake. The minimum reverse return I have access to on a pressbrake is 45mm. Wish I had 25k spare for a newer all singing...

I have a starter problem. Mainly when it's cold and wet, I turn the key and it clicks and whirls but doesn't turn over for a few times. It works a little better when I start ignition, wait a while for a 'clunk' then kick her in. What is the clunk after about seven or eight seconds? And what...

Mug? **** off iPhone.

Another tip - the wire feed units on hobby welders are generally poor so keep the lead to the torch either as straight as you can or introduce a nice big natural curve. Avoid letting it loop over itself. As for welder selection, mug over arc without doubt for car work and positional welding...

I'm a fabricator too. Little tip - buy a 70mm rotary wire cup brush thingymajig for an angle grinder to use for cleaning welds and prepping once ground out. I can eat my dinner off my weld preps and it makes a decent difference. It gets rid of grinding dust and the powdery residue from...

I've now made my a-bar and popped down to staffordshire 4x4 this morning to trial fit one of the 8" terrafirma spotlights I'll be fixing to it. Everything all fits nice, just need to move my number plate down a little to ensure it's not obscured by the huge spots then i'll whip it back off and...

Well?

Tuneless What size tyres are you running on it?

Why do you want a TIG? If its just mild steel then stick with mig and get as decent a welder as you can afford, although if it's just for car work you don't need anything fancy. common problems with welding are too low power and too fast wire feed. Get your set up right and you're 80% there. If...

well I've got my arse into gear and started a bit more work on my 110. I'm currently making myself a new bumper. I'd originally planned on a tubular one but to be honestn I think they look **** unless they're a full winch bumper and I don't have or want a winch, so decided to fab a standard...

Yes. A 110 hardtop 200tdi as a workhorse / camping truck / dog transporter then use my bint's gay little 206 for cheaper runs out if we don't take the special needs dog.

This is a belting thread. I bought a 110 hard top a year ago with the intention of doing her up. Trouble is, she's my daily runner and a workhorse so can't afford to have her off the road. I'm a fabricator welder of 17 years with a family business to play in but just don't get chance to drag...

My bite had recently started to get really low until it finally went altogether. Clutch to the floor, start it up and off it goes! Slave cylinder had rotted to ****.

I have had a new clutch slave cylinder fitted and picked my 110 up from the garage today and also have an occasional vibration. ( only started today, was fine before) Seemed like it was coming from the read underneath. It seems at it's worst at speed when i come off the accellerator. Prop...

I ran a '98 Disco 300tdi and now run a '92 110 200tdi and the Defender pulls a million times better than my Disco did.
