FYI stolen nearside wheel eyebrows/spats/arches off my 110 tdci whilst on my drive overnight. Sheffield /Rotherham area. Done by just popping the plastic rivets out. If you do one thing today, go and stick a couple of m6 bolts and shear nuts in yours, they're flipping expensive to replace...

Did mine myself after spending an eternity researching who and where, reading endless posts about "he said this but did that etc". Did it myself, mate has a hot washer so spent ages cleaning and drying, up on the ramps, used dinitrol. It's all in the prep. Needs a touch up now, but very happy...

I've had the Bolt on Bits ones in the last three defenders, and they've been superb. On the 200 I had to make connectors, but on the td5 and tdci the connectors just slotted in (make sure you get the right pin in the right position for stop/tail). Fitted the adjustable flasher to bring the...

Similar to mine, I had two faults: 1. Chafed loom, through the earth 2. Disconnected earth on the loom as it exits the chassis at the front (two wires come off the loom at that point and connect to the chassis with bullet connectors). Good luck.

I got some thin see through PVC (the flexible stuff, got mine from Dunelm Mill) and made a curtain to go on the dog guard down to the bulkhead in my 90. Made a noticeable difference to cab temperature. Will be soon same to the 110, as well as foam and carpet board for the sides.

Bought one, and the extractor jobby, fitted it in Halfords car park, great radio, pairs with phone and get hands free calling. Very happy, thanks for the recommendation!

Is the inbuilt microphone on that Sony any good for calls or have you rigged in the external mic? Replacing my LR radio this weekend and the Sony is half price in halfords!

If wolf doesn't take this then I'll have it please!

Same happened on mine mate, you're not alone. I ended up taking the manifold off, realised it wasn't flat (against the engine block) so fitted a refurb one that had been de-webbed, baked in a kiln for a few days and skimmed. Was more expensive but it was that or try and go through the problems...

The chicken died a week after fitting... I think it must have come in a blue box...

Took mine out last year, could get the grinder onto most of them, was a bit brutal but got them out in the end. Replaced it with aluminium frame and ali floor, used spire clips and stainless countersunk bolts. End result is a removable floor in my td5 90 - I thanked the stars when I needed to...

No they are not sided. Where are you, someone may have in ether can lend/sell you.

Yes. I changed one with less pitting than that, just didn't want it to grate through the big oil seal and have to do the job again.

In that case...do you need a tea boy!! Would love to watch and learn! :-)

Ah ok, I've never done one before, so was going to offer to help and learn at the same time!! ;-). Handy with my spanners but never done that job. If you want a hand on that basis then I'll help!
