    Hi James. That's awesome. Thank you. I'm glad I asked as I was heading towards 6 bolt as 4+2 etc. Turns out it equals 4 lol. Many thanks.

    Defender steering box

    Hi all. Am busy bringing my 110csw 300tdi with enough miles to reach the moon back to a presentable condition again. Working my way slowly round things but decided the steering had gone beyond woolly at the weekend. On getting under the old girl found the drop arm ball joint not looking too...

    Spotlight question. Not the usual though!

    Thanks chaoticus. That's what I was afraid of. Can't think of anything worse or drastic than drilling a hole in the roof. They leak enough without my additional help lol. I have found a route that seems possible although I haven't done anything with t yet. At the front of the windscreen where...

    Spotlight question. Not the usual though!

    Thank you gents. All really good ideas. It seems a real shame to drill into the roof so if I can avoid it I will.

    Ps. If I've missed any more threads on this then my apologies. I did look first. But it was probably a mans look! Lol

    Spotlight question. Not the usual though!

    Hi all. I've decided it's time to add some roof lights to my 110csw. I know there are many many thousands of identical threads on here on how to wire them, relays spots wires etc. Don't worry it's not that I'm looking for. I'm looking for a sensible route as to how to get the feed cables from...

    110 csw handling issues.

    Just wanted to say a big thanks. Replaced lower link bushes at the weekend. Working my way round all of them slowly but it solved the problem. Thanks for the tips. Very much appreciated.

    Probably a very silly newbie question.

    Thank god for that. Thought this thread was becoming full of smutty old men lol.

    Probably a very silly newbie question.

    She's good at multitasking. Got ****ing and moaning down to a fine art.

    Probably a very silly newbie question.

    Oh no. I got it lol. That's exactly why I said it hehe. Just waiting for the missus to read this. Or are they banned from this site lol.

    Finally a member of the club

    They certainly seem to be popular. I had visions of wrapping loads of shiny extras on when I first collected it. But the more effort I put in the better it looks just plain stock. They're certainly becoming popular on eBay. Prices for a seventeen yearmotor are ridiculous.

    Thanks for the warning. Got an immobiliser prepped for this weekend plus aiming at a pedal lock plate if their any good?

    110 csw handling issues.

    Thanks. It was the only one I could justify to the other half. We got four kids between us and camp a lot. She couldn't argue when I showed her the boot space plus room for six in front. Plus I always wanted one lol.

    She wants it nice and cosy. Whereas my argument is that I want it wipe clean

    Probably a very silly newbie question.

    Hi all. I'm new here so please be gentle. Recently bought a 97 110 csw and am new to landrovers although very pleased to finally be a member of the club. I'm trying to make it a little more presentable and looking for certain parts on websites. Most of them want to know what gearbox is fitted...

    110 csw handling issues.

    Hi Gents Many thanks for the good advice. Gonna dive under this weekend and have a good old rummage around now i've got a better idea where to look. Sure the missus will have something to say about the weekend being written off but i'm sure she'll survive lol. NO doubt you'll be seeing a lot...

    110 csw handling issues.

    Hi all. I've recently managed to join the club after buying my first defender a fortnight ago. '97 110 csw that needs a lot of love and attention. After the initial excitement I've noticed a nasty little handling issue. Once up to about 30mph the nose starts to pull down and to the left and...
