I honestly wouldn`t be surprised, found a few non-standard sizes and general bodges on the landy. Just trying to figure out if different sized bolts is a standard feature on MOD defenders? Guessing they would be easy to change to the same size as the wheel nuts once I get them off :) ?

But surely if it was the wrong tool it wouldn`t fit the wheel nuts anyway? It just makes sense and is logical that they are the same size?

Cheers for the advice, I have some money put aside for 265 BFG muds so that should sort it, I will change them before the summer as I know I will need the landy offroad then. Why would swapping them help if it is rear wheel drive?

I have 40 different sizes of sockets and the wheel brace and the nuts on the bonnet don`t fit any of them.

Cheers for the offer! Bristol, but I will probably have to buy a socket as I don`t want to be stuck somewhere with a puncture and no way to get the spare off the bonnet.

They looked like steel but not completely sure. Why would they be a different size to the wheel nuts? Just seems like a bad design. I will have to go to halfords to get another socket then as they are huge! Thanks

Thought this would be straightforward but it`s not...I have an ex-mod 110. Bought a T bar type wheel brace and it fits onto all the wheel nuts on the 4 rims. But when I try to get it round the two nuts holding the spare onto the bonnet it doesn't fit as the nuts are too big. I`m confused

Hi bit of a random question really as I`m trying to figure out how far I can stretch my set of tires without buying new ones. -How many more miles will I get out of these tires? -Do they get a lot worse off road when they have less tread? Just been out and measured them-in the middle where...

And no I don`t want to sell it

I was looking for an actual value in case it gets stolen/torched/written off

Hi all, basically I originally insured my landy for £3750 but since then It has changed quite a lot, I am trying to figure out what it is actually worth for the insurance, in the worst case scenario it were to be stolen (have two anti theft bits to try to prevent this). So the spec: 1986 ex-mod...

Thanks for the advice, I would love to go for a whole disco and rebuild it but the main problem is space :( there`s no room on the drive with my 110 and another car, but I may be able to squeeze an engine into my room. Or the other thing I was thinking was to see if anyone in my area wanted help...

Hi all, still very new to the landrover world and wanting to learn more. Basically I want to learn more about landrover engines, and thinking of stripping one down and rebuilding it, is this a good idea? Should I just buy any engine, however prices start at £300 ish on fleabay.

Sorry I think it might cost quite a lot to post a heavy metal box from Scotland (im on the south coast),and ideally I want two.

Pretty much as it says in the title really, I am wondering what toolbox you use to put in the side lockers? Have looked but can`t find anything that fits well, as I think this would be a pretty good place for a toolbox. I was thinking having two, spares in one and tools in the other

I thought these two had the option of using gas?

How do these ones look-the first one is a 135amp set, and the second one I have actually seen at a landrover garage so it must be good-I have done some research and everyone says it just takes practice, which is why I wanted to buy a reasonable set (hopefully not too expensive) and start...
