Hi. I am a little cautious for that reason. Some of the pics on various sites have no proper description, and even suggest the picture is only for reference, and the carrier might vary from that shown. I could ring around, but I'm 'just looking' at this stage. Cheers Tom

I've searched, but found nothing helpful, and I'm lusting for a swing away for my hardtop 90 tdi! Why are the pictures on various 4x4/landy parts site so small!? So, if you're feeling helpful (and we all love pictures!) please show off your pride and joy! :D Cheers Tom EDIT: These seem...

I would of thought it was illegal to tow just a chassis even if it were tax, tested and insured - don't all 4 wheels have to be off the ground? Tom

I'd be tempted to hire a Sthil saw and cut two 12" wide slits in the slab - knock out the middle and drive in and out as you please. Of course you have some added security as it is (:)), but it must be a ball-ache taking the wheels off? You can park on the garages with that beast! They...

My specific landy knowledge is limited compared to many on here, but I do agree with the above - new tyres shouldn't do that, and I'd bet they're not the actual problem and it lies in a bush/bearing/suspension component somewhere. BUT: Can you swap fronts to back, or borrow a whole set of...

Cheap, but with a standby time of 48hrs, I can't see it being very practical out of the box unless it is wired to the car battery or you find a home for another smaller and more discrete battery to extend the life... Tom

I think some IP addresses must be banned! ;) Tom

Hi Tim. I hope you find a good un! I've a 90, but I'd love a mint series one day! Tom

I put 'Defender dimensions' into Google and the first link tells you all you need to know: http://www.landroverweb.com/Pdf-files/Land_Rover_Defender_2008_dimensions.pdf Tom PS you might want to nip over to the introduce yourself section (Introduce Yourself - Land Rover Zone) and say hi...

That is brutal - i love the side-on pic :) Tom

Thank you for your reply - I thought it was going to be tight, but at 7' (I think most doors are 6' 6" tall) I though it would be ok! Bugger said Dougal! Tom

Does anyone park their landy in a single garage through and up-and-over door? I see you can get 7' tall doors, but wonder if this is enough room by the time the door lays flat under the lintel, or you've a 2" lift/bigger tyres etc. I know you're not going to get a snorkel wearing, lifted...

What a prick - I'm glad I'm not him! Tom EDIT: :) Have a smiley - it is Friday and I mean no offense by suggesting he isn't that unfortunate after all

You're dead right - it is probably inboard push-rod too - so far more techie than the 7, but still - love it to bits!! Tom

I cannot fathom how they can make it go around corners so quickly - it is too tall and heavy!? Cracking piece of engineering. Tom

Very impressive indeed! Land Rover Bowler EXR S v Caterham Seven Supersport race - autocar.co.uk - YouTube Tom

Loving that!! Thanks for posting (even if it had been stuck up before) :) Tom

Are we comparing apples and pears though? Weight isn't all that relevant with the implements you mention, but ground conditions - a 'Strong Man' can pull a 38t artic on flat tarmac. I very much doubt you'd damage the disco tugging anything around a field unless you did it for a...

This isn't the deepest I'd been, but it was pretty average for the depth I'd take my parents old 110 td through Driving our Land Rover through huge flood in Somerset - YouTube There was one occasion a couple years previous when the water was spraying up like a fountain from under the doors...

10kg seems like a big difference to me, regardless of the effects and savings - are you sure a bare modular is 10kg lighter and the alloy in question?? As said, low unsprung weight on competition vehicles is key to good handling, but we're talking perhaps inboard shocks and springs, where...
