    Where to take a new LR110 CSW for extra bits to be fitted?

    You will probably have to pay VAT and then reclaim it once the vehicle is exported

    landie 110 v8 breather kit and wading plugs

    You generally get some unwanted responses but there are plenty that will help. My breathers terminate using "T" pieces under the bonnet at the top of the bulkhead so that there is only 1 breather that runs up the snorkel to the top and in to the intake. For wading plugs I am not very familiar...

    clutch pedal will not go down enough

    That's how I do it. Only addition is remove fan to allow the engine to tilt a bit unobstructed

    Its Been a Year Now - So whats the Damage??

    +1 I had an Audi A4 for 6 years that I'd did big miles on and all I ever did was oil & filter changes every 10k, plugs 30k and tyres. It had a new timing belt on it when I got it and 1 set of pads all round. Anything with the green oval tends to have a emptying effect on your wallet but RR does...

    Its Been a Year Now - So whats the Damage??

    Part and parcel of a 10 year old car. On the flip side it could have been a hell of a lot worse

    Defender 300tdi keeps cutting out..

    Could be an air lock in the fuel tank. Take the fuel cap off and see if you hear the sound of air rushing in.

    honesty please

    You have probably paid a bit over the odds but you generally don't buy a land rover to turn a profit. They will quite happily guzzle your cash in spare parts or diesel but you can't beat that feeling when you drive it

    Defender - kitting out with an aerial for the first time?

    As cheap as you like pretty much. I have one of these on the way. £4 including postage Chrome Telescopic Car Radio Aerial / Antenna http://amazon.co.uk/dp/B001JY8XB4 Always sceptical of any of the amplifier ones. Would try and have a go at fitting it yourself though as the garage will fleece...

    What seats can i put in?

    I would re trim and refoam the originals. Keeps them matching with the rest of it and I think they are comfy

    Defender - kitting out with an aerial for the first time?

    Just got a run of the mill arial and push it down when off road. I had a rubber one and unless you like radio 2 then your buggered as that's all it will pick up.

    Defender 300tdi keeps cutting out..

    You bleed the fuel filter from the small screw at the top of the filter housing. It could be water contamination in your fuel tank as releasing the tap at the bottom drains the filter the water and diesel separate in it with water at the bottom. Drain the filter from the tap at the bottom...

    trailer help pls

    Just googled it and you can hire a car trailer for £40 per day plus deposit. The one I saw was local to me but I am sure you could get one near most towns.

    help In shock over garage price

    You need an itemised breakdown of the charges from them first. Labour is usually about £60 per hour so depends on how long it took but £900 does sound a bit over the top

    New battery

    Start with battery but if you don't replace the alternator soon then it will knacker the battery after a while.

    New battery

    How old is the battery? It might still have a date stamped on it of when it was made or when it should be installed by? If those dates are over 5 years then I personally would replace it. Also tell us what the spec of the battery is. cold cranking etc it should be written on the top of it. You...

    New battery

    If that was measured at the battery then its too low. Elsewhere in the loom may be ok. Ideally it needs to be between 13.6 and 14.4 volts.
