Hi and welcome! Yup, we like pics of landies!

Hi and welcome! +1 for pictures!

I had mine done by my independent landy specialist. From memory, it was the new head gasket, head bolts and coolant. It was ten years ago and I’ve since sold the disco so haven’t got the exact details.

+1. No sealant needed either. The previous owner fitted mine and painted them black. But the paint is coming off as it doesn’t key to aluminium chequerplate without preparation.

My Td5 developed a leak at the back of the engine behind the rotary oil filter. The coolant had a steady slow leak with no obvious signs or overheating. It turns out the head gasket had failed with a very slight leak but the tell-tale orange coolant trail was only visible when I removed the oil...

Hi and welcome!

I took a look under the 90 today. Turns out the downpipe has failed just before the intermediate pipe 🙄. But I’ve been eyeing up a shiny stainless system… 😎😎

Can I suggest that the title is amended to something like Light bar Wiring or similar so that it comes p on a title search for posts?

Hi and welcome. +1 for the above. And watch out for seized screws in the hinges on the bulkhead.

Looking good. 😎

Did you post on FB a few days ago with the same? It looks familiar .😁 It looks much better with the white roof in my opinion. White steel wheels will look much better than alloys too. Personally, I’m not a fan of alloys on a defender.

H and welcome! Nice part of the world! We went there in 2011! 😁

I’m sure it can be done but it’s more for ease of access to welding. Just realised it’s the second row crossmember, not the rear one!🙄😂

I’ve just watched the entire video instead of the housework I should be doing!😁. The group that were laning together looked well prepared but I’d say the weather with those swollen river crossings were still too dangerous. As for the two in those buggy things, they were lucky it wasn’t a...

I’d like to do Strata Florida but this is one of the reasons I haven’t. I’m amazed by the number of posts on social media of people who either go there alone and get stuck or flood their vehicles on a river crossing or groups who drive off-piste.

Definitely. The standard jack is useless.

Hi and welcome!

They replaced the windscreen on my old disco 2 in around 2013. It had a heated windscreen, which showed on the spec when I called them and was confirmed as a straight replacement. The guy turned up with a non heated screen, saying they didn’t have a heated one in stock and did I mind a non...

Is the body out of alignment? The rear body on my old series 3 looked straight until I fitted a hardtop which showed it wasn’t quite straight and the rear safari door, fitted with the hardtop wouldn’t shut properly. A farm jack soon put it straight again.

No tools kept under my passenger seat, the large battery takes most of the space. I keep a box of assorted tools in the back.
