Thanks for the tips. Box is looking favourite - any 'holes' I cut into it will be with tubes welded in and thus mud tight! I can also fit a thread bung for squirting waxoil in or letting unexpected water out Once I draw it up I'll post a 3D design (luckily I can design it in 3D first and...

This pretty much substantiates what I've seen, I'm an engineer and like to think I can weld (once I find the metal under the rust). So I'll sketch one up ready for fabricating at work. I'll look into using a piece of channel, but can't help thinking a box section will allow me to position...

Has anyone on here made a rear cross member from scratch? Mine is rotting through and all the threads I have read seem to point out that replacement ones are 'off limited quality'. With this in mind I was considering fabricating one from scratch, A piece of 150 x 75mm x 4 or 5mm wall box...

Hi Do you know of any good green lanes around the FOD? Steve

Mike - my first response to a question. Glad the response was useful. Spent most of today messing about with my defender - the door handle on that has now stopped working from the inside!!!!!

Hi Just had this with wifes Freebie. It seems that the child lock gets jammed if the door handle is operated from outside when car is locked - we spent ages trying to sort and a local landy specialist came up with this cure. Climb into the back. Pull the door trim back (the body side seal...
