Too true, people shouldn't be blasé about something that has had time and money put into it.

Insurance for a defender is not as bad as everyone says, pre licence mine is £800 a year, but afterwards about £900-1000 which in the grander scale of 17yr old insurance is actually pretty good...

Back to the topic at hand, best thing to do is get your details out to a few nearby dealers, I know a few around you strangely, if you do wish to chat about it properly then after the exams eh, and yes get one with a good chassis or prepare to factor that into the costs, tools and consumables...

For a fresh galv bulkhead try Ashtree intl or Samara intl. Have heard only pod things about them, they manufacture lots of galvanised goodies.

Ok brilliant sounds good, I found a similar thing on exmoor trim that is exactly as you said, it retails for £7.08 so a good deal. I shall order some and fit them. Thanks for the advice

Hi all, i am thinking of changing the current soft top which is rather leaky to a new 3 in 1 from Exmoor Trim, however they specify that this hood will only work with the new TD5 style screen rail, my defender is a 1986 90 so definitely wont comply, anyway of making it work???

Hi guys, am hoping to carry out this conversion but I need more I info on how to do the conversion. What axle, donor vehicle etc Any helpful information about this would be very good thanks

Fitted Terrafirma RTC steering damper

Well ratty I bloody hope u don't get bored and turn to the criminal world.... For the rest of these lowly thieves I think this device should work, the won't know it's there till it's too late and they can't put it into gear because the clutch pedal won't come up... :) or I could fit it to the...

Yes but if the clutch is jammed open it would be impossible correct?? It assumed u have no prior knowledge of the system

Something effective I saw recently was the Mech Lock, it's sold by Mud Stuff, it's a valve that is fitted into the clutch system, it locks the clutch open so it cannot be closed making it impossible to drive off unless they knew before hand that u had it, it's completely mechanical and also as...

More expensive though and if I want to upgrade to beadlock then it provides an easy upgrade route

Guys does anyone have any thoughts on these wheels? 1986 90" NATO Green full tilt
