Thanks for the prompt response. I have 2 tyres for sale on ebay so if I raise enough from their sale by the end of the week to cover the cost of a new propshaft that I need to buy then I'll take them off you. They're in similar condition to my current doors so no major problems for me to fix...

You got any pictures? May be interested. got a 200tdi 110 hard top that needs door refurbs but want to slap another couple on while I refurb mine properly, then refurb the replacements and sell them on.

I have a set and the offset is different to my current classic defender steels. Does this not matter?

Those king cabs look hideous!

As a welder of 18 yrs, my advice would be if you really want to buy a welder to learn to weld with as well as repair your motor, shell out for as good a second hand one with as many fine settings as you can. If you can't stretch to this and are limited at buying one with such few setting options...

+2. My front propshaft UJ has gone - bearing totally collapsed. It squeaks when running free and vibrates like hell around 40 - 50 mph. Ordered 4 today.

Indeed. A few years ago I had my beloved Mazda written off. At that point in time my family business was clinging on for dear life as our main customer went bust owing us a substantial amount. I was skint and put my savings into the business to survive. I was offered a Discovery on the...

I get a wet right knee in the morning. It gets in somewhere and runs along the roof joint gully. As soon as I slow at the end of my street and turn right to head off to work I get ####ing showered!

I haven't made it sound worse than it is, well, maybe this particular thread but I'm talking more about the general atmosphere of the board, as I've stated a couple of times I think. I have conceded that this thread certainly isn't one of the worst but the guy, whilst I appreciate he came...

I wang it up with my overhead crane slung either around the centre of my HD bumper or towbar. I'm buggered if I break down though as I don't have a decent jack. It's on my ever increasing 'useful **** I need as a defender owner' list!

Fair enough then if that's the viewpoint of the admin of the site. I don't agree with that viewpoint but accept it. For what it's worth, the reputation on here doesn't particularly bother me personally, I just find it a shame for those that get offended by the abrupt nature that their...

That's entirely my point! A select few ruin it for new folk unneccessarily. This thread happens all too often. New guy posts same old question, unbeknown to him, gets a bit of flack and decides this forum is full of dicks and is never seen again. It's such a great resource that gets ruined...

You're maybe right on this particular occasion, I've not read back through the thread. My posts on here have maybe come more from a historic viewpoint as I already have a view of this forum as generally an unfriendly place for the newcomer as I've seen this situation on too many occasions. That...

Ha, it is indeed. Football has been my life for 20 years until my club became embroiled in turmoil thanks to selfish owners. I was once close to the club and what I saw going on turned me against my own club and, more broadly, the ever increasing greed of football in general. I now try to spen...

That's all it takes however, he's been hounded off the board by the self-appointed newby tyre police so won't see your answer!

Indeed, it does get 'tiresome' (ba-dum tish. Sorry) when people start the almost daily tyre thread but I remember it being one of the first things I wanted to know when I signed up full of enthusiasm wanting to get stuck in. I've spent many hours trawling searches on here of threads of...

Or thirty five and drives a defender and is just trying to be helpful. Like I say, this is a cracking forum for Would-be Landy enthusiasts because it's a great resource of knowledge and expertise. It just baffles me that there's an inherant intolerable mood about the place for the non regular...

Aah right. So why doesn't some kind soul simply give folk a gentle prod to the rules instead of tearing them a new arsehole? Good retort by the way.

I find this forum really useful but find it quite sad at how unwelcoming it is to less frequent users from the more regular vocal posters. Ive now owned Landy's for about four years and share a love hate relationship with them but I ant really see me owning anything else whilst my lifestyle...

Mine sits just below the red when upto temp and my heaters are ****e. Is it worth a thermostat change? I know **** all automotive!
