    Newbie buying advice!

    Firstly, you will have to do some serious and i mean serious cutting and lifting to fit 37's, i would have thought at least a 2" lift maybe more and the arches will have to be cut alot, and you'll probably need spacers but not too sure on that. If you are only doing it for looks then put some...

    Rear door painting

    Hi all, The paint on my back door on my 90 is starting to bubble a bit in places and after yesterday at the jetwash bits are starting to flake off.

    Cam belt price & where to go?

    Do you know Jake Wright Landrovers in burley in wharfedale? They are a good bunch and did my 300tdi cambelt change for £120. Mines a defender though, but shouldnt think it would be too different. Hope this helps.

    Fuel pump adjusted??

It goes like s**t off a shovel, i had a 200tdi previously and it just doesnt compare power and speed wise. I know a 300tdi has a litttle more HP but the difference is more than a few HP...
