Hi, I have just bought a 12000i winch for my 90 hardtop and was wondering if i will need to get a second battery to help run it, i know that you can get a deep cycle battery but will this be enough on it's own or will i need 2No batt's and a duel charging cuircuit? If so, does anybody know...

Hi, Davey, give me a shout when your ready and i can meet you up at Drumclog and show you around the site (It's massive!!!) They were both bought as toys for off roading only, the only reason they are on the road is the travelling to and from the off road sites. I luv both the vehicles...

Thanks again for the advice The one i went to look at was very tatty to say the least!! The one you had a look at looks okay, do you think the dealer will budge on price cause it's sat there so long? If so what do you think i should offer him?? How do you check the VCU in an...

Thanks Wigley, Have you heard of any horror stories? I am going to view one tomorrow so if you know anything i should keep my eye out for let me know. Cheers

Hi Guys (and gals), I'm looking for a little advice, My company has offered to buy me a company car/van, my work involves visiting most of the transmitting stations (the masts you see dotted about on top of hills everywhere) to carry out electrical suveys, this obiously involves driving up...

Some parts of the pay and play sites are pretty serious although there are other routes which are easier. If you want 'non damaging' off road fun, you should join a club and try some RTV events, there not events as such they are light hearted and it's a good place to meet like minded people, if...

Here's a pic of my mates defender today, check out the back wheel!! The other pic is my buggy, As i said you don't really need the snorkel or bumper just a set of mud tyres.:D

Glentarkie is junction 6 M90. have a look at the web site. First thing for your buggy is make sure it's reliable, parts are pretty cheap at britpart or the paddock, get mucked in and the costs are very low + you learn about the vehicle. Get yourself some AT tyres if you drive alot on the road...

Thats Montrose way is it not? You would be driving distance to glentarkie, it's prob about an hour away but is a superb site!! I'm thinking about joining, it's about 1.5hrs drive for me, been there once and it was a blast!! If you ever fancy coming off roading down this way let me know, i...

I know, i've asked about and looked on the internet but there is no mention of green lanes in Scotland. I don't know if the laws are different because you have the right to go anywhere in Scotland where as it is tresspassing in England, not sure exactly how it works because if the land is owned...

It's just outside Dumfries, heard it's meant to be good, not sure who i contact about it, where you from dopey?

Inverbervie is a good drive for me, thanks for the info though.

Hi Tom, thanks for the reply. I'll not been down there yet, i've heard the site is pretty good although i don't know who to contact etc..

Thanks Griffdowg, I understand the principles of the droop/ lift although i wondered what would benifit me best, i have 265/75/R16 tyres on the defender so thats as large as i can go without the lift. The type of tyre i use is the grizzly claw because it's a cheap remould that works superb...

Hi, I have a 96 defender hard top and was wondering the best way forward, which of the two mods would you recomend and why? what are the two's different pros/cons. I want to know what would suit me best for off roading, i know the two of them together would be best, but my wallet doesn't...
