    Winch Replacement

    Hi All I have had my CTA12000 winch repaired twice and now think it's probably not worth spending more money on it. What do people think is a decent replacement option, not too expensive, but reliable Thanks Geoff

    Oil released when I removed rear hub dust cap

    Hi All, Last time I did any work on a car that involved more than just changing a tyre was back in the 80's, so the enforced time at home due to "you know what" means I'm trying to do a few jobs on my 2005 Defender.

    CTA12000 winch problem

    Hi all Looking for a bit of guidance if possible; I was using the CAT12000 winch yesterday to pull a fallen tree out of a lake.

    Hi All i bought my 2005 defender 110 back in Jan 2014, mainly to cart all my fishing gear in, but also because there are lots on narrow lanes on my route to my kids' school and I got fed up with all the yummy Mummies in their Chelsea tractors forcing my A5 Quattro into the ditches - they soon...
