    Which Bumper Is This?

    Cant seem to copy the pic from eBay so pasted link to the 130 in question. Anyone know what front bumper this thing is sporting? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/land-rover-defender-td5-double-cab-130-110-pick-up-/291997677359?

    Another Age Old Question..

    Ok. So I know it has been asked a million times before, but technologies move on and things improve. Sooooooo... Big 35" tyres on 15" rims. They are likely to need a fair bit of balancing even if they are good quality bfg's. What is the consensus on balancing beads? I haaaaaaaate unsightly...

    110 With 35". Please Read Before Telling Me To Google..

    Pic request: 110's with 35" tyres. There was a 110 on here that someone was rebuilding. He fitted 35" tyres on it. I've searched and searched the forum for about 2 hours and cannot find the guys posts.

    Prop-Shaft Identification.

    I have been donated a pair of prop-shafts for my defender build. All I know about them is that they came off a 110. No idea which model, therefore no idea if they were for LT77, R380, Salisbury etc. How do I tell if they will suit my TD5 setup?

    Heater Control Wires

    On the left hand heater controller there are 3 wires. Black, Green/Slate, and Green/Yellow. On the controller itself it's obvious where the earth goes but not so obvious which way round the other 2 wires go. There are 2 spade terminals one above the other. Could someone tell me which colour...

    LED Lightbar Question

    Anyone Had Their Dash Apart?

    I'm needing help or pics regarding the routing of my heater control cables. Haven't got a bloody clue how they go. The diagram in the parts book isn't really much help. :(

    Steering Column Shroud

    Could someone please tell me if there's a nack to getting this to fit right? The original 110 I bought for my rebuild didn't have one so couldn't note how it came apart. Whenever I offer up the lower half it just doesn't seem to line up correctly. Especially with the ignition barrel. If...

    Speedo Drive

    My recon transferbox has been sat in the truck without a speedo transducer for a while. Even though it's always been out of the weather in the garage, I noticed that it looks a little rusty where the transducer goes. It looks as though the end of the speedo gear is a little rusty as well. I...

    RV8 Manifold Gaskets

    Can someone advise the best ones to get? Standard injection heads. Disco twin-port manifolds. The ones I have don't seem to fit well. On some of them, the edge protrudes very slightly over the ports. Maybe by 0.5mm or so. I know it's not by much but shouldn't protrude at all... Maybe I...

    Wiring 12v Sockets

    I've fitted a couple of marine grade 12v sockets into my cubby. I also have a couple of carling switches in my cubby. Can I take the wires from these to power the sockets? I'd rather that than run extra wires all the way from fuse panel.

    Shear Bolts

    Just got myself a new lockset for the defender. It hasn't come with any shear bolts. Should I get some new ones or are they more trouble than they're worth?
