The axles are painted! And looking superb! Love the Frost Chassis paint :thumbsup: Also, purchased a printed TD5 Defender manual with the 300TDi and Electrical supplements, pricey but worth it for a job like this. | Picked up a new A frame Fulcrum bracket with the ball joint pressed in...

Ok, so Episode 06 is out now: Here's what I've been up to over the last week. I sold my 110 for a start, which is partly why I've had no time to be posting :thumbsup: Took the opportunity of perhaps the last bit of good weather to fit a weather sealing strip, should stop the dust...

Aye, bulkhead is worth galving, the corrosion is minimal

Righto, things happened yesterday :thumbsup: Collected the bulkhead and axles form the shot blasters. The bulkhead has come up very nice! Not as much welding needed as I thought so well worth having it blasted. That's not to say I got off welding completely, both pillars will need to...

Episode 05 is out here: So, since the last update, the following has happened. After giving the parts a thorough clean, using a combination of wire brushing, degreasing and the parts washer: The items were then masked up: Hung up for painting on an industrial clothing rail: Or...

More progress made, a little gutted that my axles and bullhead won't be finished till next week - could slow me down a bit. I had help off my mate last night, but we didn't have tonnes to do. The gearbox crossmember is in. These require a slight spreading of the chassis. I do not like farm...

Get it in the mags, eBay, Facebook (I recently got a lot of interest for a 110 on FB)

These videos help: Vince Cobley - Old school off-road video

Thanks Will. Here's what I got up to yesterday: Using a twisted wire cup, started removing the worse of the rust. Really impressed with the cups, they work pretty quickly! A friend removed the superpro bushes using threaded bar - as they are a one piece construction, you'd need an 8" vice...

My 1999 Defender TD5 90 was beginning to look a little tired, it's been my runabout for over 5 years and after a lot of hard winters up north - it's definitely suffered. :oops: With the Defender production coming to a halt soon, I've decided to create my own tribute to the Land Rover itself...

Any word in the FB link yet mate?

Do you have the link to this as mine's for one in Essex, I did try searching Google first ;)

Hi guys, I've basically bought a 3.9 V8 Disco as a donor vehicle to build a tomcat, however, I'm struggling to secure self-drive transport from West Yorkshire to Bedfordshire to collect. Has anyone used any good companies in West Yorkshire? Preferably Leeds / Bradford area so that I can...

It must be done automatically by the forum software whenever you type ebay or a keyword to a product that can be found on eBay. Any chance you could re-upload if possible Redhand?

I know you are the font of all human knowledge, but the link to the first Greenlane OV2 file for TomTom doesn't work. :confused:

Sorry to hear the bad news, this is getting more and more common unfortunately. Get it listed on LandyWatch, Welcome to Landy Watch. Keeping an eye on your Land Rover

TD5 MPG is between 20-30 ish, depending on how you drive e.t.c but you can get it chipped to increase this a little.

Took my TD5 to a normal TD5 testing station and it passed. Surely an MOT pass is a pass anywhere? I wouldn't want much leniency in a test, just because they know Land Rovers.

It's still got 4 years 'design journey' ahead of it, but there's no need to worry. Land Rover will remember what Defenders are used for, after the massive wave of negative feedback on the design. Also, in your post, you state that Discos aren't true Land Rovers, yet they are extremely capable...

We had a set of Cooper STT's on our Defender last winter, in soft snow they were excellent and not too shabby even on packed ice and compacted snow. However, as mentioned above, these are mud tyres, not winter tyres (which has a super soft compound e.t.c). If you have the cash and feel, for...
