Nice one Redhand :hysterically_laughi

Hi Buster, They're off one that's never been off road coz there's no mud and **** over them, so probably off a Chelsea Tractor. :D Six is a bit of a mystery... a long shot but how about a 6x6 conversion?

I think you've probaably got a problem with the column switch or a broken wire / fuse that's why there is no power to the motor. But the park switch, as Shifty says is why they wont park. Your best bet from here is to download the Rave workshop manual (on CD 2) which has a comprehensive...

Look he's a young lad who loves his Defender, which he's just spent the whole night in shaggin his bird. He's woken up and seen the dawn and thought..... Nice Motor! :D

Some air asisters are rubber bags that fit inside the springs, the only thing I think that would get damaged with these Monroe Max-Air shocks is if you didn't clip the air hoses close to the chassis they could get caught up on summat. I think I would route the pipe straight up the body of the...

Hi Ratty, What you commented here has been rumbling round in my head for a bit... The 1,200lb is additional to the existing suspension rating. If using these types of assistance shocks, the springs you fit should be sized to take your normal load, then these give you a 1,200lb boost on top of...

No worries :D Oh and I caught my first signature line....

The link was meant as an example not the genuine article, which I assume are heavier duty. If I find the real thing I'll post it, but I think the spring assisters sound a good idea for your situation. Cheers,

We were discussing earthing, particuarly the engine which has a very high current requirement. It is better to have a single good earth path rather than just multiplying poor eathing paths or using sub-optimal cabling. As the current flows through the circuits poor earthing will develop a...

Hi ratty, Looks like you have a varying requirement with more spring assistance at some times to others. I was looking at these air assisted shocks which are available for Defenders somewhere, I've seen them in an a magazine advert and on the Internet the other night but can't find them this...

Thanks Shifty, I'll take a look.

BoB, Love that "Chain saw" photo, bloody classic :D

Spot on CharlesY, By the way the Rave manual has a section called Electrical Library which then has a sub section called "Earth Points & Header Joints" which shows you where the primary earthing points are. Duplicate earth paths should be avoided as you can end up with current circulating...

Hi All, I had a couple of alternative ideas as there is plenty of other electrics to suffer in the under seat boxes and I for one wouldn't fiddle with the wiring owing to the increasing susceptability to interference and resistance losses at the connectors: A float switch in the bottom of the...

Hi Shifty, My TD5 has done around 46k miles. Do you think the Intercooler is full of crap yet and flushing it would be worth doing, or should I leave well alone? Performance seems OK but I've only driven mine and only for about 4k miles. The EGR was replaced by the dealer for crap low temp...

Now this is cool... but I don't fancy its chances trailing.

Hi Wiltshire, I think you're trying to set some kind of record here for the maximum amount of hardware busted and replaced in a month... :smash: Go for it! You know that pedal on the right... has more than two positions :D

Yep, I agree a really good price. Who gave you the price? I use NFU, they gave me the best price but I'm near Reading but a good bit higher than yours.

:welcome2: Excellent, we'll save you a chair. You may have to get a round of bacon butties in though... and take more stick than an Anarchist protestor. :D It's not a car, more a way of life.

My God that Iveco is odd and nfrom the advert I notice the hard top has the same curved back. I wonder if LR's cunning marketing plan is to sell them the rights to the body but they cant copy the lights as they look strange with the double lights Anyway, bit of light interest.:)
