Never worry about tyres in the forestry industry. Some logger will always pull you out.(oh they were pulling you into the woods that day, loading you & dragging you back)

Unfortunately without sitting and meticulously researching the offset of each different style of wheel i don’t think there is any other way of doing it. I run 8” width modular steels on my 110 that with a quick google look to have an offset of...

Fitting 18" wheels fall into this category, just poor taste and judgement being displayed to even consider such a choice! On a more serious and practical note it also means that you will either get a larger diameter wheel tyre combo overall...

If you are paying to have the work done I would not bother personally. As said above you at least double the labour maybe more if the floor needs to come up as well. Unless your clutch is showing sings of being on the way out, or the seal is...

Is it definitely not salvageable? Your situation is not the same as mine but when I had the engine fire (thread LINK) the insurance tick box wrote it off as a cat B (can only be broken for parts by an authorised dealer) but with a couple of...

Couple of more extreme suggestions that go in the opposite direction of what lots of others do with there vehicles. If you revert back to the series/military style doors you gain about 100mm of additional width each side in cabin space. You loose...

I have driven down to and around Morocco twice which includes the 1500miles trip to Algeciras to get the ferry. I did this in my 200tdi 110, so yours will be far more comfortable at motorway speeds than mine was as a starting point. I would...

You would be amazed what a lick of paint can do. The drivers wing I fitted during my rebuild after the fire (original melted) was very much a farmers wing and I knocked the dents out as best as I could and then painted it and fitted. It look...

I have done a few wings, It depends on the finish you are going for as to if it is worth the effort. In a show room truck then it is not work the effort as unless you have some serious skills, you will be riveting back together all the spotwelds...

Are you talking about the box, mounted to the chassis, or the pump mounted to the engine? Either way @Anaconda advice of being fairly logical when you look at is is correct. For both you start by removing the pipe work. For the pump, it is...

Depends what generation, I thought they liked to split in half where the water runs down between the cab and the bed and rusts the chassis away at that point :eek:

And one more thought ... Several of you chimed in to say you would work really hard on some kind of bodge before pulling the engine and swapping the crank. This was helpful advice because I was actually starting down the road of pulling the...

This one ^^ If it is a discovery tdi in a pre tdi “defender” the. The gauge will read in the red hot at normal operating temperature. You used to Get conversion sender to match to the gauge as suggested above from Steve Parker’s. I am sure...

Even if it is a non structural one it will Still leave the bolt Holes in body work. Things like that once fitted are best left fitted as they take a huge amount of work to remove and put back original otherwise. Also if it is a proper to the...

Potentially, Throw up some photos of what you have fitted currently and people will be able to comment on if i looks the same as a standard 300tdi version. I have just had the issue with brake calliper gallery seals. For a defender land rover...

I think you should be fine with any 300tdi intercooler, I believe they are all the same. However I am not an expert in correct, I am more along the lines of what works, I have an aftermarket 300tdi intercooler fitted to my 200tdi engine. The only...

LINK try this one, is just a link to Gloucestershire rights of way online map which does not seem to show them as anything hence assuming they were UCR which fits with @jamesDiscoTD5 's comments Some of them you can streetview the length of and...

This is the article I was looking at: LINK Looking on google and the Gloucestershire council rights of way map (LINK) I think these are unclassified country roads. Nothing listed on the rights of way for map anything and some of them you can...

You have a Ford near bourbon and a length of right of way. Heading towards Cirencester & Cotswold airport. A lot of construction on the new A417 may have closed a lane. some of the lanes on the Motocyle sites are the restricted ones. Plenty of...

I will try that. But I might be beyond that as the new seals only Worked for about a month and the. It leaked worse than before I changed them. It can’t make things worse. And at the current rate will be out he system in 1000miles!

I have found an article from a motorcycle magazine with a set of track near bourton on the water. So will have a look at those as are local enough to me to pop down for a couple Of hours. But also happier with further south nothing is set yet...

The above form @Anaconda was my experience of glass and trailwise a few years ago so let my membership lapse. Everything on trailwise there seemed to be a good 5-10 years out of date so stopped renewing. Has this now changed and and people are...

I did that with an old one I had and it now leaks worse than before hence looking for a replacement. it works well enough, runs a total loss hydraulic system :rolleyes:

Where did you purchase your good steering box from? I am still in need of a replacement. I have a spare on the bench to exchange so vehicle would not be off the road in my case.

I used neoprene tape when I rebuilt the heater box. quick question for this application what do you want non-setting? would silicone gasket not do the same job and not bee much more difficult to remove in the future should it be needed?

Have prices come down or is the one linked above a real bargain? When I was looking before I went to Morocco roof tents even second hand were over £1k so I went with a drop down tent instead that clips to the roof rack and then sits on the floor...

Which as mentioned above is what I used on mine when I had the same happen.

Well tomorrow’s task is to clean it all up and see what I can spot. And also rummage through my spares as I may have a spare neck in the shed.

I am already using high pressure turbo clamps. And filled the pipe with hylomer blue. I will clean it down and dust with talc to try and find where it is waking from. It is the filler neck from the station wagon rear body so there is no guarantee...

You have just confirmed my issue. Everything works and moves. The issue is the cable I assume stretches. And needs adjusting every couple of months. That was what I was hoping to rectify.
