    K & N Air Filters

    Yes I have. But as I said earlier, I also have re-jetted carbs, a performance cam, and straight through exhaust. I fitted the K&N's first, but on their own, made very little difference over a brand new, standard, filter.

    K & N Air Filters

    No one is saying that K&N's are not less restrictive than the normal air filter, it is just that on their own, make little difference. Unless the air filter is blocked, then it is not the filter that restricts the amount of air going into the engine, but the engine itself. The intake valve lift...

    K & N Air Filters

    I have twin K&N's on my 110, but then I also have had the carbs jetted to match, a Piper H200 cam, and a more open exhaust. On their own the K&N's make very little difference, but they are important if you are planning to tune your engine for more performance.

    Number plate position

    I fixed mine to the front of my winch bumper on the nearside. Just drilled 2 holes through the bumper and bolted it on, took about 2 mins.

    Double the value of your Defender

    Ok, so how are you supposed to get them clean after wading through 3ft of muddy water, or having a wet & muddy dog or child climb all over them or when they have had muddy work/leisure gear dumped on them? It is just another product for the posers/wannabe's whose Defenders have never been...

    Drilling a magnet.

    The problem isn't with losing the magnetism, it is with the magnet itself. Almost all permanent magnets are made from Ferrometals, and Ferrometals are generally extremely hard, much harder than steel drill bits, so something like a Diamond or Cobalt bit is needed. The other problem is the swarf...

    BFs on my transit

    The 130 has a MGW of 3500kg, the same as almost all Transits, so as long as they are rated for the correct load, they are legal.

    BFs on my transit

    As long as the tyres were marked LT (Light Truck), then you should be fine.

    Advice please!

    Technically, the year you passed is irrelevant. It depends what categories you have on your licence. The relevant one is B+E. If you passed your test before Jan 1997, you will automatically have B+E on your licence, if you passed it after this date, you will need to take an extra test in order...

    Recommendations for a winch

    Just to add a little more inspiration, or possibly confusion, I personally like Ramsey winches. I have had 2 of the Rep 8000's and found them to be excellent winches. I sold my first one with my old Discovery and then had a cheap winch let me down, so I bought another Ramsey. They are quite rare...

    Sad Defender News

    B******s. Neither the L200 or the Hilux can carry as much of a payload as my 110 can. They can't carry more than 4 passengers, my 110 can carry 8. Neither of them can tow more than 2700kg, my 110 can tow 3500kg, and neither of them can match the Defender off road without modification.

    Sad Defender News

    The problem with the Discovery, for many of us who use our vehicles for work, is that the Disco is too car like. I have a 110, and the Missus has a Discovery, and while the Disco is a nice car to drive, there is no way I could use it for work, It is not big enough or have enough load space and...

    Dorset - as far north as possible

    That could be a problem. We will be going up in Sarah's Discovery, so may not be able to fit them in with the dogs and other stuff in the boot. I told her we should have got another 110.:(

    Dorset - as far north as possible

    Bournemouth is in East Dorset. Where are the tyres, and how big/how many tyres?

    When do they end? On Saturday I will be driving from Bournemouth to Braemar.

    How easy is it to convert a RHD to LHD?

    Not on mine, I don't know about the 200 Tdi onwards Defenders, but the bulkheads for the earlier 110's and 90's were the same for both RHD & LHD.
