    What have you done on your 90/110/130 today?

    Changed the dipstick tube on my 200, as it snapped off while checking the oil, probably cracked for age’s and explains the oil leak I had.

    New defender axle and suspension

    I agree, you only need to see how often open differ land rovers get cross axled when not using momentum.

    You need to take your blinkers off. If you don’t think it can happen then there’s no point continuing talking to you, go bury your head.

    New defender axle and suspension

    I’m afraid no photo’s but it’s a guy from Landyzone 90boy if you wanted to contact directly. Yes he tried it in diff lock but just span 2 wheels, also seen similar on ice where puddles have frozen at the side of the road. By the way I’ve also done a lot of off road driving. You seem unable to...

    Have a look at lucky 8 on YouTube to see how ‘limited’ the new defender is.

    Obviously your right and everyone else is wrong. Even though you weren’t there. Twist it how you want if it makes you feel better as we all read your negative views on your experience with a new defender, which are contrary to what most who’ve driven one actually think, if the press are to be...

    New defender axle and suspension

    Yeah, traction control has been available from 98, but not on the older ones as I stated. And upgrading centre diff is not a standard vehicle. A scenario I saw with the a 300tdi defender, whilst laning in the peaks, driver of said vehicle pulled 2 wheels onto the grass verge to allow another car...

    New defender axle and suspension

    Your 4 wheel drive in stock form only drives one wheel on each axle with the diff lock on, without diff lock you drive one wheel on one axle, and with open diffs it’s the wheels with least grip.

    New defender axle and suspension

    In standard not modified, the new defender has more ground clearance than the old one. Also with its trick off road modes it can lift wheels off the ground and still drive, Something the original defender cannot do, until the later ones arrived with traction control. I have an original defender...

    Acceleration Lag Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6?!?

    Pull out map sensor from inlet manifold, it’s probably caked in black oily gunge, use electrical spray cleaner or similar to clean, it makes a big difference to the vehicles responsiveness

    Check around injectors, known weak spot, look for coked up area’s. Injector 5 is a nightmare to remove, either engine out or drilling through bulkhead.

    Defender L663 review !

    I collected my 110 a couple of weeks ago, D300 mild hybrid, got to say it’s fantastic to drive, feels much more planted than the D5 it replaced, that could be due to the adaptive dampers I chose as an option. Also went for the explorer pack and locking rear diff.
