    Windscreen glass removal

    I paid £70 for a windscreen fitter to put mine in. I’m happy to tackle any job on the old girl, but this was £70 I really didn’t mind parting with!

    Service brake efficiency below requirement 1.2.2(a)(i) What does this mean!!!!

    Newbury 4x4 day

    Indeed it probably was! Small world! Some guy asked me where I got the two blowers from and I gloated about my supposed bargain. He wanted directions to the seller, not sure why, it’s not like the seller had a stack of blowers to sell. Got one working after a quick valve adjustment, so I’m...

    Newbury 4x4 day

    My mate and I noticed the increase in non-Landy/tool/farm tat, it won’t be long before it ends up like a crappy car boot sale. Still, it was a good day out. I ended up with two Makita 4-stroke leaf blowers, some new wellies, a couple of heavy-duty g-clamps, plus some other sundries. We enjoy the...

    Newbury 4x4, Land Rover & Vintage Spares Day Sunday 2nd October

    See you there in October, I’ve already booked the tickets, as I found out when I tried to use them yesterday. “These are for October, you tw@t” was something like the response I got from the staff.

    Newbury 4x4, Land Rover & Vintage Spares Day Sunday 2nd October

    The iron oxide levels will be off the chart tomorrow. The sheer volume of rust that is up for sale there is mind-boggling m.

    Newbury 4x4, Land Rover & Vintage Spares Day Sunday 2nd October

    Fingers crossed the field had a chance to dry out a bit today! I do need some new wellies mind, soles of my MuckMasters have become completely detached - £90 pieces of cack!

    Defender Chassis Experts Needed

    Some Defender spares......free

    Stick it on Facebook Marketplace, get more locals that way. Shame to skip it.

    Windows dropping

    New felt channel, or take the channel out and pinch in tighter. Have either the channels or glass been replaced recently?

    Newbury 4x4, Land Rover & Vintage Spares Day Sunday 2nd October

    No, they weren’t there. There was a guy there that used to have a big parts stand, he himself was a brick sh’thouse dressed in fatigues, but he hasn’t been at Newbury for a couple of years. Shame, as it was a good prompt to do the annual oil & filter change!
