    how's that? surely unless you put bigger wheels on, the axles will be at the same height?

    freelander or defender

    simply, the private road in has had so much abuse by us woodland lot, that the freebie is bottoming out on the middle section, in made sense to tow the caravan along that in the defender, then it was easier to take the defender in, rather than swap it back over again, plus of course the winch...

    cheers for the replies in relation to the question asked, as for the health and safety answers, yup it was me stepping over, yes I know it was naughty, thankfully this time I didn't get cut in half, but it made me remember all those on another forum, that told me a year ago that using a chinese...

    freelander or defender

    so after towing our tea room/caravan to our woods on the freelander, it was so wet and muddy, that our mate took over in his defender, we was going to try pulling/pushing this in by hand, but after seeing what a difference having a front winch makes, its got me thinking, do I try getting a winch...

    How to secure chequer-plate to doors

    you add too much weight, those doors will fall off

    rear window

    step by step pictures would be good on the repair kit. as for the perspex idea, if it was pushed up into the channel, and flush with top of door, then the door could be opened/closed without problem, it would just mean a smaller area to load in/out, but could be pulled down and out if need be

    rear window

    the same as alot of other owners, my rear window stopped working, but my bodge was to force the window down a couple of mm so I could open and close the rear door, but the glass stays outside of the channel, if it rains hard I get a little water inside, but I can live with that, well tonight the...

    Alarm issues?

    the downside being, if everyone used the search function, rather than asking the same question, the webpages would never change, new posts would become very old posts and the forum would become stagnant, potential new members looking in, would see that no new posts were made (as everyone is...

    Zero power when towing horse trailer?

    I bodged mine as it was doing that too, put a glass sucker on rear window, got wife to hold down switch on dashboard, whilst I put all my weight on the glass sucker, it pulled the glass down a few milometers, enough to clear the channel, which means I can open and close the rear door, the...
