No, nothing has been spilt as far as I'm aware. I know the white powder your referring to, I've got this in places but nothing to worry about. These patches of white slime have just appeared over the winter when it's been standing, there's been no metal on metal for this to happen and when you...

Cheers mate, it's been doing my head in but that makes sense... We hire out these things and that particular landy it's on has all of it's metal work exposed as it was used as an emergency vehicle in its previous life, I'll get the areas covered with interior carpet but treat it first. I would...

Can anyone help - Having a bit of a nightmare with my bodywork rotting away on the inside of my 110 puma where the metal is exposed. This is my 4th defender and I've never had this problem before. It's happening all over, a white creamy solution, I've been advised it's the Alu getting eaten...

Cheers for all your replies, I've been away for a few weeks hence the late reply. I've been told someone in the village has a good photo so will upload. It's a lot more secure, shouldn't need to be, you move out of town to get away from the tow rags, pees me off.

I wonder if anyone can help. I got woken up during the night on Tuesday by three scumbags trying to nick my 110. The worst part, they were driving a Mark 1(might have been a II) V8 discovery, light silver or white with black trim. This thing was souped-up and looked like it was used for green...

OK, cool I'll look into that, thanks for your help

OK, thanks for the advice

My current insurer can only cover me comprehensive(for a fee) for Europe, I'm heading to Montenegro and Turkey where they will only cover me for 3rd party. I don't want to leave my insurer for the sake a week or two out of a 6-week trip. Has anyone found themselves in this situation and how...

yeah, we're not going to be doing anything silly, off-road tracks to find camp spots etc. nothing where I'm finding myself at a silly angle.

I've going to have two howling moon tents sitting on the top so I think I may need to have a mobile one which I set up when at base. Top tip on keeping it clean.

Cheers for all your help, I've got a good idea of what I need to do now.

is it courtesy on these forums to reply to each post individually or in one go?

Thanks for everyone coming back to me, I thought it was a bit over my head hence the shout out, seems a bit of a minefield and not a straight forward question to ask. I was speaking to a guy at MPS yesterday and he advised "National Luna"(Couldn't afford one anyway) would be a bit over the top...

I'm fairly new to all this overlanding and I'm currently kitting out my defender to take the family and I off on adventures (at times off grid) mainly in the UK and at sometimes Europe. If anyone can give advice on the best set up for mainly powering a 50-60ltr compressor fridge, off-grid for...
