Oh yeah and I currently have 7.50 R16s. The size is a good looking standard size, they are just marginally bigger than the standard size for a defender 90. Regarding how easy it is to do. If you have not done it before, and parts are seized and you are doing it on your own it will probably...

Sorry for the late reply, I would also recommend standard and not heavy duty - again unless you are looking to carry very heavy loads. Changing them would be difficult for one person on their own. To do it quickly have a grinder handy or a nut splitter and just remove all of the nuts like...

Hello! I bought an adjustable height drop plate and a pin and ball towbar. However what extra support do I need for it below the cross member? I have this pic from someone elses landy, do I need both supports I've circled or can I just get away with the one next to the crossmember...

Yeh as long as everything else is standard then just the springs and shocks would need changing. I did this to mine yesterday funnily enough and went for armstrong shocks and springs (slightly better than britpart) from mail order 4x4. Good price, ride is now very good (obviously will settle a...

Not a bad idea, thanks all for the help

Brilliant thank you, I just noticed on some similar dixon bate tow hitches that they state they would work with some Nato hitches. Which I could not see how. Is it easy to change a trailer from a nato hook to ball coupling?

Hello! I just bought the below for my landy and was wondering if it would work with any of the NATO hitches? Or how easy is it to change them to a standard tow hitch? Any help greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Mark

Ah brilliant, I take it that price is solely for the shocks and springs? I'll have to give them a call, thank you

Hey all, I did manage to fix it, got a new switch for about £15 and a couple of hours had it swapped and working. If you really know what you're doing you could probably do the swap a bit quicker.

yeah, so as you can guess in my position, although the lift looks good, I don't need it - well in fact need not to have it. Also I would love to have the good quality of terrafirma, however now I need to buy standard height I can't afford such good ones now :(

Ahhhhhhhh, I just don't know! I can hear some grinding when I back off the accelerator and I think it is because it has only been lifted with the shocks and spings and everything else kept the same putting extra pressure/angles on everything. It was only lifted because when I was getting...

lol, no they're brand new tyres and that is where the sticker was, so when I took it off part of the sticky part stayed on. It's gone now :)

Here is a picture of the springs and shocks i'm selling from mine. Almost new, only been on a month, happy to sell for £175, PM me! :)

They were +2 inch shocks and springs. I've spoken to the guy that did it and everything else is standard so I am going to swap the shocks and springs with some standard height britpart. If any one wants to buy some Terrafirma shocks and springs that are +2 inch then let me know. They have...

Hello! I recently had a new galv chassis etc etc placed on my defender and the guy that did it put 2 inch lift on it due to a bit of miscommunication. I did think of keeping it but the wife struggles to get in it. I have just had some surgery and will be having some more making it even more...

In the above pic it was taken a couple of hours before completed just in case you were wondering why the bolts were missing on part of the read crossmember :D

Island Landrovers Website for island land rovers

Hello, there were two problems with mine. The first was the carb which I changed for a new one and the second thing was that there was a restriction in the petrol fuel line. Check there are no kinks in it and that it is only one pipe not two fixed together with a smaller pipe in the middle which...

Hi Nick, I used Island landrovers at Island Landrovers the guy called martin was very helpful, always kept me updated. did it in just over a week, cost £2800 for new galv chassis from marsland, new brake line, new terrafirma shocks and springs, new exhaust, new turrets, small part of the...

Hey all see above, I used island 4x4 or otherwise known as island landrovers. Fitted me in really quick, good price, would recommend, guy called martin, bit unorganised at times but great worker :D
