    Tax + MOT exemption... I'm confused!

    It's updated yearly. It's also based on the build date, rather than the registration date (which matters for some ex mod stuff, like my 101) but you have to prove it in the right way then... You still have to apply for tax each year (which, I assume, checks the insurance database) but the...

    TD5 block heater

    Themotops are available from scrapped people carriers. I forget the details but you need to get a non can bus one. Ive had them off, umm, seat something or other before. I've currently got two working ones and one for parts. I think my total spend has been £25. But a fair bit of effort...

    TD5 block heater

    I don't know how the td5 works, but webasto thermotop units are sensible on other engines.

    Loads of slack in power train - diffs?

    So, a while back, when i went for mot, the tester (who is into landrovers) pointed out the rotational play, and suggested new flanges. I did them, with little effect, and then looked at videos of the movement between the flange and the shaft (ie how the splines worked together) and mine were no...

    Loads of slack in power train - diffs?

    Update - A friend was over with his 110 300tdi today. We jacked up one rear wheel of mine and measured (by eye) the rotational play and then did the same to his, and compared. Mine was at least double to 3x what his was. There was no visible movement on the prop at all, which would mean that...

    Heated seat kits for 300tdi era defender seats...

    We have a freelander 2 and a 300 110 csw. My partner uses the freelander, which is expensive to move about, expensive to fix, never works properly, and is generally hateful. It is, however, comfortable. Im attempting to jazz up the defender some, so as she will use that, and, ultimatly, the...

    Heated seat kits for 300tdi era defender seats...

    Thank you On top of the cubby is fine. I just dont want to be propping it up with one hand, whilst trying to hook out the battery (etc) with the other. That said, i do find the heated seats make me feel like ive wet myself. Ive not wet myself since i was probably 6 years old, but the...

    Heated seat kits for 300tdi era defender seats...

    I can't tell from looking at britpart (etc) photos - Those seats kits where you get the back and seat base pads - are they all hard wired together? I like to get the seat base off for access, and I'm not even that bothered about heat there. I'm wondering about not fitting that pad, but does...

    Fitting YRM extended second row floor upstand

    Can you just cut yours down with a grinder? I mean the new part, not the car... Trim off all the extra stuff to make it like the original?

    Fitting YRM extended second row floor upstand

    youre miles away, but all it is is a length of alloy with a couple of folds. i think it cost me way less than yrm wanted for the same (which is fair, as theyre retail, whilst, i guess, my price was just costs)

    Fitting YRM extended second row floor upstand

    The fold at the top of the new bit is only an inch or two. It doesn't go in far, else you would need to drill out more spot welds.

    Fitting YRM extended second row floor upstand

    The new bit is the upstand thing. The end caps are original, but i put a quick and dirty hit of paint on them.

    Fitting YRM extended second row floor upstand

    I'm about to go out in the 110, so I'll take some photos of mine. I don't think I have the gaps in front of the 45 like you do, but I'm not sure. I remember the end cap bits were a pain to get off as they were trapped by the remains of the c posts. Let me take some snaps for you. They may or...

    I just made it the same as the original.

    Fitting YRM extended second row floor upstand

    I've got a 94 csw. Mine was stuffed. All it is (on mine) is a z section of alloy. I get a load of metal CNC bent for work, so I just got a matching part made up and fitted that. Mine didn't have the flap bits. It was just a couple of 90 degree bends. I drilled out the spot welds, slid it...

    101 camper conversion

    Swapping an engine with a similar one is acceptable. The 2.8 that I have in has landrover heritage, and is not significantly different in power to the 3.5 petrol. The gearbox / axels etc remain unchanged, so it's only one point lost. Mine uses a Zeus bell housing to couple to the original...

    101 camper conversion

    They were all petrol, but diesel conversions are common. Mine has a hs2.8 with variable geometry turbo in it. They're tax exempt providing they fit with the rules.
