You might as well increase your odds of avoiding problems and give the k-series a wide birth. Of course there are plenty on the road behaving nicely, but you might as well just stay clear IMO. The drive train issues are well documented with some owners choosing to remove the prop and run it...

Great explanation - thank you! :) I'll check next time I with her and there is juice in her battery! Cheers Tom

I think they've come down... mine came with two included in the tenner! Tom

You see I hate buying batteries - just a pet hate - so the fact mine came with the lithium jobbies out of the box made it - though I'm now toying with buying a 'silly one' with 6 x T6 leds as I can use the batteries I have already! Perhaps the circuits inside is cheap - I don't know, but mine...

I've not yet got my defender on the road yet (barely had time to touch it..) but an electric fan is on the list so I'm intrigued as to your thoughts..? I'm expecting it to make a significant difference to mpg in winter months - but I might be wrong? Tom

This is the smaller of the two I have, and my favourite by a margin. The T6 lamp is so bright it astonishes people and just makes those big old million candle watt torches look daft! 1800 Lumen Zoomable CREE XML-T6 LED 18650 Torch Zoom Lamp Flashligh Light New | eBay The ability to push...

I don't have this one, but I have two very similar, one with a T6 'bulb' and for the money you (in my humble opinion) cannot touch them! These are seriously bright, seemingly well made and so cheap it is hard to see 'you get what you pay for'! I expect this particular torch will be as...

Nope - diesel fiat uno, and yes, it was worth considerably more than the car was worth! That was back in the late 90's though, and I haven't changed as much as head unit since - just in case you were going to put me in 'that group' ;-) Tom

My ice wasn't as extreme as the previous post, but i had three amps which were pheonix gold and 2x12" subs JL Audio... I had 4 gauge cable 60amp main fuse and no problems powering it from the one diesel battery... I take it you're running at least 8 gauge cable? I'd earth immediately to the...

I've been in there twice I think, once for a set of wheels for a sierra (long time ago) and again more recently a year or two ago... I've also heard they're not the cheapest, not that I can remember what I paid back then, but I do remember leaving thinking they were a grump old bunch!! Tom

Congratulation OP You also made very good use of your time off! I'm due to start my paternity leave in a week or so, but we'll see when bump turns up! I have a LOT of diy to do, and then I might be able to touch the 90 - not that it will be to fit loads of goodies like you! Tom

Is it Conniston Green? Tom

Please don't - mine's a 93' (101k miles) and needs work for £3k - but there is bugger all down this way - or was! Tom EDIT: isn't that a hole (or two) on the under side of the chassis rail - almost middle of the bottom pic?

''What engine is in the 2006 td5 '' Isn't: ''Who makes the td5 engine in my 06 defender'' Is it?! Have a snickers you mardy tart and come back when you've untwisted your knickers! Tom

A lot of the old cross-ply stuff is this size like the xtra traction rubber often found on older fenders. Tom

Love it - but I'm biased as i have a green 90 hardtop that i crave a set of black modulars for! Tom

My father-in-law has a gaylander, and I just blank him when he's driving it. I think he understands now after I explained it a few times... ;) Tom

Height wise you should be ok fully loaded for the trip with a brimmed tank, but you could always add a little ballast if you were still over the 2m mark. Tom

You're absolutely right, he is of course 100% to blame and should make it as easy as possible for the lady to rectify the damage to her car. Tom

I feel for you, and think others, while being technically correct, could offer some sympathy. While none of us would dream of backing out of a space in a busy supermarket car park without having a very good look in our mirrors and over our shoulder, would we all do the same in a farm yard...
