Is it the same for a 300tdi Defender? And if so from what date?

Why not buy an Evoque? Worth every penny of your winnings!

Personally, I wouldn't even attempt this. Most local independant tyre and brake specialists will fit you a new pipe in no time, probably for less than you would pay for the pipe, fittings, and flare kit.

I am envisaging getting hold of a couple of beams, wood or steel, a bit wider than the car. Fasten them to the chassis underneath. Now look at what the transport is going to be. If it's a lorry, then it will need a crane or suchlike to raise it high enough - and similar at the other end. If...

If you want old fashioned incandescent bulbs of a higher power, search for "rough service bulbs" Available from Amazon, Maplin, and lots of other places.

So where are these new rules? Look at the official website https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-insurance/uninsured-vehicles Is this one of those ideas that were floated, but never happened?

Sounds like VCU to me as well - I had that on my softdash as well, in 2012. Got a refurb from this guy; Home - Bell Engineering Cost £165 I know it says Freelander bits, but give him a ring. Not a difficult job, though I left it to my mechanic as it is obviously much easier on a ramp.

I think that's who I went to as well - can't find the paperwork at the moment.

When my Softdash needed a new rad I checked with LR, who of course wanted silly money and couldn't say when I would get one. I went to a local rad firm, who quoted less for a clone, but a HUGE amount for re-coring. I went on eBay, got one (new, clone) for less that £100. When it arrived (48...

What about replacing with a Kenlowe electric or similar?

Has anybody else seen this? Land Rover reveals multi-coloured Paul Smith Defender I am sure lots of you have defenders with variously different coloured body panels, seats, etc. Now they are trendy designer items!

It is perfectly normal to paint on galvanizing, and will work fine providing it is properly prepared. There are 2 options - either the wash, or leave it out of doors for 6 months.

If it drives on the rear but not on the front, would it be a good idea to remove the front prop shaft, thus reducing the risk of further damage to anything wrong at the front?

First thing is the refund is calculated at the annual rate, even though you paid the six month rate. Second, they do get it wrong - last year I had a further refund to correct their error. Quite how they manage to get something so simple wrong is inexplicable. Get back to them and say you...

Try joining Freecycle - I've had bricks, paving slabs, concrete blocks, tin roof..... Just for the trouble of collecting them. As for how many, just weigh a brick and divide it into your load allowance, and there you are.

OK, You've got the kit - now put the car on the drive, jack it up, take a wheel off and put it back on again. Seriously, you do not want to be doing this for the first time in the rain at the side of a busy road. You may well have done it before on a smaller car, but now you have a Landy, and...

Back to the original question. A bottle jack will certainly do the job, is the lightest option, and the cheapest. But it can be difficult to place, and more unstable in less than ideal conditions. A trolley jack is heavier to lift out of the vehicle, but easier to position, as it is on wheels...

Be aware that your insurance is unlikely to cover hiring, whoever is driving. Though giving you a bottle of good malt whisky in return for the favour would be OK.

In a similar vein, I recently got birthday greetings over Facebook, and had to tell the kind sender that, no, I was not born on 1/1/1900. As banks love to use this info as security question, no way do I put it on such a public platform!

Could this be done by means of something like an internal roll cage? Then the mounting point could be on the roll bar up by the roof - out of the way and firmly attached.
