Whats the story with f*king around with your standard exhaust as far as MOT goes and insurance? Im sure I read somewhere a cat is not required if the vehicle is over a certain weight!

I am sorry to those senior members who get upset and will now be mid feel turn and explode because another newbie has not done a search. I have since done a search and found the mixed answers I didnt want. Im sorry I have been so stupid and inconsiderate.....not........... If there is an...

is there anyway to delete a post?

Ive just had a chat with my builder and joiner about a problem he was having with his Iveco truck and the topic of fuel came up. The builder who does some truck driving course every so often, not HGV but something more than a normal car test says its also been discussed on the course that...

heard a final crunch noise and they have died this morning on way to work. Im sure I can hear the motor still working so somewhere the mechanism is fooked. A bit of a coincidence that it has happened imediatly after the new screen was fitted. Wonder if the fitter has over tightened the wiper arm...

if your diff lock light is working, is the light going out a reliable confirmation that your out of diff lock then?

What can happen if you dont reverse? Ive used Defenders for years and only on here because I used to use them with work and now own my own. I have never reversed after coming out of difflock! Hozza dont be put off its suppossed to be a community thing Landys isnt it! Id even stop and give...

Thanks for your comments, no scotchbloks then, good stuff.

Sounds good to me cheers. got a new stone chip tonight after new screen fitted Thursday aswell! Ill get arms off tomorrow and have a play cheers for comments.

I really do get it from existing long term members point of view. Ive not had it myself maybe because Ive not asked that daft a question yet but Ive seen folk agressively slated on their first post and it seems a shame of a welcome to the Landy community. I just think 'use the search mate there...

I use a couple of technical forums and advise on one, DIYNOT.com and a couple of old house restoration ones. I have used a couple of car ones in the past SAAB etc This forum is by a million miles the worst for abusing new people or people asking the 'silly question'. Sometimes folk are just...

If I take both arms off and run the motor in the cab and here no noise do you think Id be safe to assume motor is good or will the lack of wiper and therefore load mean the motor will run sweet anyway. I really dont want to be pulling the motor mech apart for fun as you say I need a lot of...

Had a new windscreen on Thursday done at work and not sure if the guy took the wipers off. Would he have? I have since got a knocking noise from the blades and I think this may be the rocking of the blades when they change direction. It doesnt allways happen but is loud when it does. It also...

If the diff lock, locks the front to back in a 50:50 power split, what is the normal driving set up when the diff lock is not engaged? There is no way to lock the diffs across the same axle is there?

Maybe I have been confusing then. I think you are thinking I am planning to simply scotchblock into the existing head lamps and add spotters to this same circuit. I dont think I am planning that! I am looking to put a pair of Wipac 100w spots on and typically I have seen a spot wiring pack...

Hi, Is there any way to add a pair of spot lights to the front of my Defender without cutting into existing wires etc. One of my mechanic mates once told me scotch locks (blue crimp on wire doublers, think there called scotch locks) were a pain and are often the cause of electrical faults...

There are various A bars on the market as you know. Ive been looking at the Rebel ones they are only about £60. Any use? Any other ones worth buying. I just want a steel, black, solid, decent one I can put spots on in time. Also whats the story are they not really legal? Thanks

Seems bizzare you can remove the fan and it doesnt affect the engine temp!

Got it sorted out the connector on the back of the cigar lighter was off. All working now.

I have a Haynes manual but its at home, might need ot get one for work also! Thanks I'll check those out.
