    Simple tyre pressure question

    I'm driving up to Scotland in my Defender next week and need to know what my optimal tyre pressure should be. I have a set of General Grabber AT2 (LT265/75R16 123/120Q). I'll be loaded up with some camping gear, but nothing toooo heavy. What do you reckon?!?

    Scotland road trip - your thoughts

    We're pretty adept at the camping thang, so should be good in terms of our current equipment for that. With regards to the Landy, Wheel bearings? am I likely to need them?!? and just one, or a set of four? Where do you stop with carrying spares?:eek:

    Scotland road trip - your thoughts

    Planning on going up to Scotland with the wife at the end of Feb. It'll be the longest trip we've had in the Defender, but fancy getting it out n about. The wife has an Evoque, which would be far more sensible to take due to fuel and general comfort, but where's the fun in that?!?:D The...

    More internal titivation - seat box

    I got my charger wiring from Powerlinkproducts. They don't actually sell what I have anymore, but the link above will take you to a useful product ;) Mine actually just terminates as a female USB cable, so I can plag anything USB into it. I have an iPhone 4 cable wired into the base of a cup...

    Decent dash mounted iPhone5 holder

    Anyone know of a good phone (iPhone 5) mount that can be attached to the dash of a Defender? I've seen loads of screen mounted sucker types, but I want something that will mount on the dash permanently. Also, it doesn't need an integrated charger as I can just plug a cable into it. Any...

    More internal titivation - seat box

    It was an ebay purchase! Never seen them since, so I can't really help you out there unfortunately. I actually converted the right hand side into an iPhone charger by glueing a USB cable into the bottom of it which is wired into the electrics.

    More internal titivation - seat box

    I have thought about the door cards, but I'm not sure if it would just be too much and make it look a bit amateurish?!?!? I did however do the tunnel and bulkhead covers which I think has added to the whole look massively. I also sprayed the sun visors to make them blend in a little more!

    More internal titivation - seat box

    Yet I have some of that from B&Q, but it just doesn't seem as stick! I might try it as it is such an easy thing to get to if it does peel off.

    More internal titivation - seat box

    Boo - just realised that I have run out of spray glue. Anyone know anywhere near Derby that would sell High Temp Spray Glue? I'd like to get the rest done this weekend now!!!

    More internal titivation - seat box

    Hadn't thought about doing that, but now you mention it, I don't see why not!

    More internal titivation - seat box

    I had some material left over from the headlining revamp that I did last week, so I thought it'd be a good idea to use this to rejuvenate the seat box. It already had a pleather cover, but it didn't cover that much and left lots of bare metal exposed. As it was foam backed with the...

    URGENT: How do you remove this bolt on seat

    I was having a blond moment! All you have to do is slide the seat forward!!!

    URGENT: How do you remove this bolt on seat

    As the title, I'm trying to remove my seats so that I can cover the seat box. I can't seem to get to the passenger rear right (as you are sat in the passenger seat) bolt. My socket is too tall for it, and my spanner has no room around the back and sides?!?!? HEEEEELLLLPPPP

    Interior titivation - headlining

    I have purchased dome dark grey vinyl & leather dye for the visors. Looks a bit too two tone for me at the mo!

    Interior titivation - headlining

    Annoyingly (sort of) yesterday was the warmest day of the winter so far at about 12c, so it is really difficult to know if that was affecting things BUT: It really did seem to warm up quickly in there, and the soundproofing effect was great too - this will be in part due to the carpet...

    Interior titivation - headlining

    So, I decided to rejuvenate my headlining. Purchase list: Aluminium Thermal Foil (B&Q) £12 Veltrim lining (eBay) £59.99 Relatively simple job, just a little time consuming - and it's a good idea to have plenty of space (I didn't!!). The Veltrim I bought came with 5 cans of high...

    A bit of soundproofing today (pics)

    It is of course now under the very thick rubber that surrounds the tunnel and covers the floor, so actual exposure to it is negligible. The seat box does have a black pleather covering, but this is now very shoddy, and also left quite a bit of the metal exposed. I want to pretty much wrap the...

    A bit of soundproofing today (pics)

    Hi all, I had a lazy Sunday so planned to do a little sound proofing of the Defender. I used Evo Stick Flashband to completely cover the footwells and gearbox tunnel. I also covered the three plates under each seat. For £30 odd quid it's worth while, but doesn't make an enormous...
