Hi, Never tried that, have no idea how the linseed oil would react with the dinitrol

I wanted to still be able to use the steering wheel controls, would that be possible? Probably will look into a Sony unit

Hi all, Being a Defender guy, I'm a complete noob in Freelander stuff. My better half owns a 2004 Freelander, with the facelift dash. It has the integrated radio, but I wanted to give her an upgrade with a Bluetooth capable radio. Is this possible? Will the use of the steering wheel controls...

The hubcentric thing of those spacers is on the wheel to spacer interface, which is needed for alloy wheels. Don't worry about the spacer to hub interface. Like it was said, modulars don't even touch the hub center and those things get beaten up around the world. About offsets and wheel...

My previous tyres were 235/85R16 BF ATs. They weren't 32" even when new. Closer to 31,7" I switched to 255/85R16 KM2 last year. Nothing but good things to say. On Wolfs they are very tall, mine measured close to 33,5" (could be sold as 34" tyres). Gearing is spot on, even better on the...

Thanks man Those prices...................... I think I'm going to glue mine

Hi all, Quick question, I can't find anywhere the reference for the steering wheel center (horn button) LR badge on a 1998 non air-bag Disco 300Tdi Anyone knows it? Thanks in advance

Thank you so much for all the answers. Well, I ended up deciding against the Detroit Locker. On the other hand, I found out yesterday that I can get an absolutely killer price for an ARB locker through my mechanic. I said I didn't want to drill the diff housing, but the price and functionality...

Well, I got the problem solver the most surprising way. I think this is very valuable info tho have in the forum. It turns out a 300Tdi valve spring is not only a direct size fitment to the bonnet striker, it has also exactly the strength needed to lift the spare wheel. In fact, it's such a...

Thanks for all the answers May I add that although my Def is a daily driver and not driving offroad everyday or even every week, when it does it goes into some demanding trails My biggest fears with each option are: Detroit Locker - ending up crappy or dangerous road manners. Since my budget...

Hi guys, Next year I really want to add some traction upgrade to my 90 300Tdi. It is a daily driver, commuter, travel/expedition vehicle and also sometimes weekend warrior. I know, that's a lot to cover. I don't really have interest in selectable lockers, don't want to drill the diff housing...

Importing is just as bad. With our law you have to pay full plating tax in an import. I was once trying to import a 130 from France at €10.000. After tax it was well over €20.000. Some cheap ex-fleet 110 HCPUs pop up from time to time. I've considered to get one and swap the whole tired engine...

Nice! I'd like a 110, but prices are crazy here in PT. Nearly everything north of €20.000, and mostly TD5s. I really prefer the 300Tdi. On the shocks, don't they bottom out without the extended bumpstops?

Hi there How are you finding the 110s confort vs the 90? By the way, I'm sure you mentioned it somewhere, but are you new shocks +2"?

Yes, makes sense. My 255s on Wolfs, stock HD suspension and 30mm spacers gets really really close of the eyebrow on full articulation, but make no contact on body/chassis/wheel well. Yours should be 24mm further out. If your problem is rubbing on the eyebrow, don't forget that the axle kind of...
