go for a Gates belt, pick up the rest from usual suppliers

why use pattern parts? theres only a couple of quid difference between a crappy one in a blue bag and a good GKN part ( I bought 2 last week - price for GKM £11 each, price for *******t £8, no brainer). but as has been said, need pics to diagnose

on a more serious note, as has been said, disconnect the battery clamp the weld return as near as possible to where your working attempt to find some good metal to weld to

buy a disco

Glad it wasnt just me, but agreed, if you cant make it work or want something real special, talk to Gwyn. gave me a proper going over for my dodgy split charge installation :eek:

my safari one got bent out at 90 degrees when my defender had a lie down in a very verdant hedge somewhere in mid wales. it popped back into shape when I got back on all 4 wheels, the same could not be said for the roof :eek: I think the mantecs and safaris of this world can take the knocks...

Damn, missed him, I like people like that, brings out the best in this place, help, advice and moral support for his problem. then he throws a tantrum cos the response wasnt one of those "oh you just tweak bolt A" answer and all hell breaks out then op stomps off muttering under his breath love...

and if they are so good how come they've nearly all disappeared off the road, sorry mate, but defenders are pinched for the reasons I stated in a previous post, there is (and probably always will be) a demand for parts all over the world. lets face it, it seems as if a rebuilt 25 year old...

are you seriously trying to tell me that a P38 is worth more than a defender when both are stripped? set of decent doors for my 110csw is over £500 :confused:

defenders are targeted because they are high value, easy to strip for parts, demand exceeds supply and REALLY easy to get into. the other LR offerings tend to have been designed in the last 20 years and therefore have such modern wonders as door locks that cant be opened with a lolly pop stick (...

Britain is suffering from the same problem it always had, people who are willing to do a job that requires them to get their hands dirty are looked down on - be it sparky or cnc setter, Britain has always undervalued its craftsmen. saying that, you try to get people to take on apprentices (...

Raptor console, then I can fit the controls to me winch inside the cab, no more getty soggy for me, no siree

speaking as someone with many years machine setting/fitting experience, I HATE ALLEN CAPS! there out of my system. very neat they look, but make sure you have a good quality set of keys, cos the usual monkey metal ones you pick up in halfords are ****e.

BUT, they are both under a VTRO as the local authority would just luurve an excuse to shut them again. there is work to be done folks, cue the music

I fitted one to my old disco last year, was pretty good I seem to remember, will be fitting one to my defender when the current one finally gives up the ghost. mind you I'm liking the poor cooling from the main rad at the moment more heat to the heater matrix, cheaper thana muff

friend of mines red hi cap was pinched off a garage forecourt near welshpool this weekend, bit battered but well looked after. I'll post further details when I Have them

I always declare - as has been said do not give the bastards any room to wriggle out of paying up when you need it; just imagine, you are going merrily down the road and some dopey tosser pulls out on you at the last minute, you side beam it causing massive destruction to the little hatchback -...

fact of the matter is that no machine likes to sit idle, they all need use - ask anyone who's bought a "lifestyle" disco and then tried to engage the diflock. and again I've done cheapy chinese winches (2 off em) and had little luck with either, so I bit down on it and picked up an ex tow truck...

pretty good for a remould, mine came with a set of new ones, but were pretty good in the snow last year, but less good on ice - but then even the BFG AT's I had on the previous disco were none to hot on bare ice. saying that, when they go I'll be swapping them for either KM2's or Cooper STT's
