Well you can’t teach that kind of stupid :eek::eek:

How did you get yours off did you use the fishing line trick? Luckily the only chequer plate on my truck is the wings at the minuet! if I end up damaging the paint I’m not to worried as they need some work and abit of a respray at some point, plus hopefully the chequer plate will cover up the...

That’s a good idea that never even crossed my mind. I know one thing I’ll be bolting them back down properly.

So I want to remove the chequer plate from the top of my wings for re-painting starting to flake and look crap, only thing is the person who fitted them decided to stick them down with some unknown substance rather than bolting them. What’s the best way to remove them with out damaging the paint...

Have to have a look around on google and see what I can make up at home for the dizzy. Except from the dizzy is there any other electronics I should consider waterproofing? The most obvious I can see is the big block of fuses I have up on the bulk head but is there anything else that’s not so...

How did you stop moisture getting in to it? There are breather holes in it but I guess I just can’t go blocking them up as it would cause condensation?

Yeah looking to water proof and give it more chance in water i've seen kits for water proofing the electrics, but the air intake is the biggest problem i can see and aslo the biggest cost if it goes wrong

Yeah just looking for peoples past experience with fitting one if possible at all possible as looking at the engine lay out and where the current air filter is it seem near dam impossible. The gear box and axels already have breathers on luckily.

I’ve tried searching high and low for a answer and can’t seem to find anything. Bit of a long shot but has anyone ever fitted a snorkel to a 3.9 v8 in a defender? Reason I ask is I’m wanting to do more green laning with it and also girlfriends mother lives in Wales right in the middle of...

Might sound stupid but there isn’t anything in the fuel tank that could be blocking the outlet pipe when you put it under load? We had it with a tractor would run normal and rev fine but put it under load it would lag/loose power changed everything on it fuel pumps filters in he end it ended...

how do you go about finding lanes all mine does is come up like google maps. cheers for the info guys will give me plenty to keep busy with

I’ll have to download it and have a look.

I’ve been looking around online but think I’m gunna have to invest in some paper maps and plot a proper route for a days laning

Has Anyone got any plans for some green landing coming up based near st Austell. I really have the itch to get out

Ideal thankyou for that information, i shall try and find a manual online and have a look at setting it right.The throttle and kick down seem correct and are very responsive. As for checking the revs my dad has a tool for checking the propeller speed for his nitro planes would that work if i...

Hi Ive recently bought a defender and its fitted with a 3.9 v8. Im currently having issues with the idle speed its seems quiet high to me as when in gear (its a autobox) it will happly chug away at 30 no problems. Is there a ajustment screw for the idle on these i can turn it down abit...
