What are the doors and bulkhead and seats like?

Thanks to Buster etc for previous info on seals / bearings etc, but before I start I have a couple of questions: 1. As far as I can tell my bearings are ok. Is there any reason why I can't just change the inner seal? The problem is just oil leaks. 2. Haynes manual shows a seal in the...

I'm doing about 50mph on a slip road joining a main road, it's clear so I put my foot down (more) and the engine noise increases (roars) for not much extra speed. Off the gas and it settles back to normal. I thought at first it was the clutch slipping. It's hard to tell but I don't think the...

yes, that happened on mine. The over-centre spring that is supposed to keep the inside locking lever up or down is broken, so that the lever drops with vibration etc, even though it weighs nothing. Also mine would sometimes unlock if you just kept banging the handle up. The spring is inside...

I'm thinking about fitting one of these. Is it any good, and is it loud? I have a defender with a horn that makes a pathetic sound like nnnnnnn Also cos it will need a relay, where's the best place to run the supply from? very many thanks

Hi Stu, Can you post the voltage at the sender when the engine is cold (but running), and when the gauge gets just into normal. Then I'll see if mine has the same values (although my gauge never gets out of cold, that's why I want to know). Also mine is a 200tdi but whats the difference (lets...

I just want somewhere for general servicing (and everything else). I won't say anything bad about the folk I have been using - I might need to go there again!

The forum says:"Your submission could not be processed because the token has expired. Please push the back button and reload the previous window."How do I get out of that? I was just trying to read a post....

Is it ok to <nudge> in this forum?

Can anyone recommend a decent landy specialist in/near Plymouth? I don't have time or space to do much myself, and I've been going to a place in Cornwall that's a bit far and a bit expensive. Mainly for regular servicing and some jobs. Many thanks

Sonim Quest Land Rover S1 Phone I know this has been discussed before, but a while ago. Surely somebody must have got one by now! I'd like to know if it is any good and especially if the GPS will give / store coordinates when you are not on a road. Thanks

I don't want to replace it! somebody give me better news. surely there is a quick way to sort it.

Defenderdavie's summary page doesn't say anything about what seats must be fitted. When I did mine I looked around and asked everybody I could, and concluded it was ok to fit the belts and use them, but not with child/baby seats/restraints which obviously have to be fitted to the type of belts...

I added lap belts to my 110 CSW which already had sideways facing bench seats. With these seats there is a big gap between the bottom of the backrest and the bottom. The belts go through this gap so they met the floor well behind the passenger, holding down and back. For three belts each side...

My bulkhead is rotting across the top rail, below the windscreen, between and around the wipers. Also there is some rot on the upright part inside behind the windscreen. I have had the ends repaired around the door hinges, also had some repairs in the footwells last MOT. So I am thinking the...
