    I've lost it also. They aren't in my spam filter either.

    This seems a cheap defender

    There's several land rovers listed like this every day. It's not just defenders either. All kinds of cars are listed at prices too good to be true. WeBuyAnyCar would no doubt pay the seller more money. It's got to be a scam. I'm just not sure how it works and don't want to test with my own number.

    Black Sheep Recovery Point

    I don't think he was planning to until I got in touch.

    Black Sheep Recovery Point

    They certainly aren't strengthened on the back of my 2005 110. I inspected very carefully before going down this route.

    Black Sheep Recovery Point

    My MoD 110 is strengthened front and back. There's a pipe welded inside the chassis where the jate rings pass through. My Td5 is only strengthened on the front holes. I don't think it would take much to damage the chassis without that extra strength.

    Black Sheep Recovery Point

    I painted up and fitted my new Blacksheep Offroad recovery point this weekend. My Td5 wont be used for any kind of tough off roading but there is a chance that I may need to either be pulled or pull someone else (light recovery). As I didn't want a rear tow bar and my chassis isn't strengthened...

    Wolf info required.

    I was still in the army at that time. I'm sure someone told me they were about £25k!! That's what they threatened to charge us every time someone smashed one up (about once a week for the first few months at my regiment). Going from 2.5 NA to wolfs overnight in 98 was a recipe for plenty is...

    Another Tyre Thread - width considerations for on road driving with MT tyres

    I've had 7.50 235 265 285 and 305 widths. On the road driving I couldn't tell the difference between the 4 smaller sizes. My reccomenfation would be to go for 265 over 235 purely on the fact the look slightly but not massively wider and you won't notice the difference off road. Also I've had 2...

    Goodbye 90, hello 110 project

    Yeah I'm going to keep the mod one for now. It can be used for the dirty work

    Goodbye 90, hello 110 project

    So it's been a while since this thread was updated. I've not really done much to the 110 but I have decided to treat myself to a new 110! Well it's not brand new but new to me. I've been watching 110 CSW's for a few months now and looked at a couple from 200tdi to Td5. It's amazing how much...

    Defender extended wheel arches

    They'll look silly with 235s. This is with 305s. I'm not a fan but they keep me legal.

    Stainless Steel exhaust for a 110

    They should certainly last longer than a year. I installed a mild steel to mine and took it off after 3 years. It had surface rust but no rot. Maybe you've just been unlucky with a batch of nasty steel.

    Stainless Steel exhaust for a 110

    I can't imagine it being that much louder on a diesel. I've got a straight 3" stainless pipe front to back. It's not an obscene noise. Looks like that system has mufflers still. We're your exhausts that rotted cheap pattern parts? You could probably buy 4 more mild steel systems for the cost of...

    Best place for wheel/tyre packages

    I've used Silverline 3 times now for wheels and tyre packages. They've always been very good. They've been competitive too

    00KK53 - My Soft Top 12v GS TUL 90. So a soft top 90 then......

    You just need a straight through pipe now lol - Someone asked me the other day if I had a V8. I appreciate that it doesn't sound like a v8 but it certainly has some presence.

    00KK53 - My Soft Top 12v GS TUL 90. So a soft top 90 then......

    Top speed with the big tyres and 1.2 is way too fast for a Defender. It will touch 90+ (GPS not speedo) if you're brave (or stupid) enough. It cruises nicely at 70mph without feeling too revvy.

    00KK53 - My Soft Top 12v GS TUL 90. So a soft top 90 then......

    I think it was only the 110's that had the 1.6. I had a 1.6 briefly with a 200tdi. Acceleration was crazy but top speed was limited. I've got a 1.2 right now.

    ex-MOD LHD Wolf 110...fact or fiction?

    The army has loads of lhd 110 wolfs. When I was in the army and based in Germany that's all we had. They just aren't releasing 110 Wolfs at the moment in any significant numbers. The ones they do release are normally trashed.
