    Transfer box gearing problem on V8

    I don't have any probs at speed with my set up but my motor has loads a grunt - 4.6 with performance cam. Maintaining 100kph is a doddle and it pulls well from that speed - all the way off the clock in fact but its too scary then. A 1.22 T box off a disco 1 will go straight on to the back of...

    Dropdown tailgate to swing away

    Anyone on here know if it is possible to convert my truck cab drop down tailgate to a swing away, and if so what parts do I need. From a quick look it looks like I could replace existing hinges a and latch with those off a full size door ie - 2 side hinges, a door latch and striker plate????

    Plenty off piccies were taken but they're not with me yet - will post them when I get them . Yes I know coming down backwards is the way but on a dune its standard practise here if you have the power to keep the power on and turn out of it you can then sometimes get over the top in another...

    I rolled my landy today Sh*t Sh*t

    Sh*t Sh*t Sh*t. I rolled my 90 in the desert today. I'm gutted! Just finished spending on it and it was mint - now there is not a straight panel on it. I was heading up a dune and it started to slide sideways so the climb needed to be aborted and as I turned out of the climb the offside tyre...

    window won't wind up!

    Driver side front door window will only wind half the way up on my 98 D90. It will go down and half way up but then gets stuck. I started to take the door card off but got stuck halfway through. Whole thing is loose now but I can"t work out how to take off the window winder handle or the door...

    Can I fit ...

    285/75/R16's (BFG AT's) to my 2" lifted 90 with no spacers or will they cause me bother? Currently have 265/75/R16's but want to go bigger. Wheels are standard Landy Boost alloys. I'm sorry I know this has been done to death but I searched and could not find a definative answer. Does...

    Is the Defender any good for the city?

    Hi Where you driving it Dubai or London? My daily drive is a 110 2005 td5 in Dubai - awsome no problem. Haven't seen any new 07 models here yet - do they have any in Al Tayer - guess not as you have ordered.

    Can anyone answer my Defender query ?
