I'm planning a second day to take bigger boulders up there with a better machine. Might have to camp out afterwards and see if they are watching our efforts and targeting the area as soon as possible after the event

I happen to have one sitting in the garage, there are cut outs for things but the overall dimensions are 855mm x 540mm.

I have medium duty Britpart springs and they are pretty good off road and on, stiff enough on road to handle well and no probs articulating off road. I researched it a lot before going for Britpart as I assume all parts from them are crap but the springs get good reviews, I'm happy with them.

I did the floor in the front of my 90, that meant I could hear the rear noises more. I then did the roof in the front which made the rear noise more pronounced. I did the rear tub and the engine noise was standing out then. Fitted under bonnet sound proofing last weekend and now the gear box...

I don't know how old the clutch in mine was or how many miles but there was loads of life left in the friction material, I do a bit of towing but mostly drive it on roads and green lanes, to see the rivets blown out like that I can only guess it's the design of the plate that's not up to the...

The clutch in my Defender burst all the rivets out of it, no manufacturer logo or anything but it was a budget one: I fitted an AP clutch and the difference in quality is obvious: For the size of job spending a bit more on decent parts is just good sense!

Why have a heated seat in a Land Rover? Sorry, couldn't resist. Check the fuse / supply, if there ain't power - there ain't heat!

That car is fugly. I have been thinking of spraying my Defender with Raptor stuff, I quite like the effect it has and it'd make it quite noticeable if it ever got nicked. Also, no problems with scratches etc. when laning.

I'm guessing prop shaft? If that's missing bolts I would be worried about the job that's been done.

I'd go for flat spot / egg / tread new tyre should sort it but which one? If your spare is good it's show if you cycle the wheels

Bit of a mix, I mostly get by with metric. Make sure you have a lump hammer and a good chisel.

Power is getting to them somehow, I assume they have a permanent live and the pin switches give them an earth so they must be getting a partial earth from somewhere?

I'll see you there!

I've got the binnacle mount that they've done for a while, I assume this is about the full binnacle they now do here: Defender Binnacle

I bought a Pioneer today, it's pretty good for the money: Halfords | Pioneer DEH-4600BT Car Stereo It sounds way better than my old head unit and the hands free works spot on. I have DAB radio in my MINI and apart from trying it from time to time I just can't be bothered with it, it's ok...
