Well, not quite...... The OV OY and OE prefixes are for (I believe) Oxford first registrations - so maybe LR company cars are registered in Oxford, but not all Oxford registrations are LR company cars....if you see what I mean.....?? And a 14 plate will have been through some more hands since...

The reverse feed is certainly finding the indicators an easier exit than the intended earth route, so either the earth is more rubbish than it looks, or there is a much 'better' short circuit into the indicators.... Good luck, my 'favourite' problem for investigations....not...... A

About right - top bloke! A

Sadly I reckon the water pump just about moves the coolant around, couldn't pressurise the system - that would be combustion pressures........ A

I trust you took no notice of the 'tampering' refusal - you have every right to investigate the cause, and then claim your statutory rights. Their warranty terms cannot take away from that - I'd mention the alternative is Trading Standards and or VSA..... A

I'd guess it's not aimed at anyone on here..... Roll on new Defender....:cool: (we hope) A

True, DMF might be on borrowed time, but then many go on for yonks..... If you had cause to get the box off then clutch and flywheel now onwards seems sensible, but unless it's gone I'd leave well alone meself.... My first lasted 140k, did clutch at the same time for the same reason - looking...

If its got to 'steam train' imitations worth checking the steering fluid level, as it might be drawing air into the system. Mine has inevitable drop arm seal seep, and eventually drops if I forget to check. New box one day........ Def don't hold it on full lock, noise is just a sign of the...

I'd recommend a new pair of lower locknuts too......if they don't already come with the new shocks. I've never been able to hold the shock enough to take them off with a spanner, the No 1 Angle Grinder for me...... (Or I guess get hold of a bigger set of stilsons....??). Easy job tho - and def...

LRI do one with rubber seal too - as original on County (at least) - might ( .......!) just ease the onset of the next lot of corrosion. I'm just about to order one for my x reg. Enjoy, A

I see the busted belt loop as a badge of honour.......!! Managed to rip TWO on current 'best' jeans ....grrrrrrrrrrr..... :D Glad story is looking slightly better OP - the list of actual jobs to fix seems very do-able, and chassis number is looking more hopeful, just hope you get rid of any...

For someone like me contemplating diving in to some welding, this is v useful. Keep it up - seeing someone do it is great starting point, looks a lot less scary than I thought, and next step would no doubt be some hands on practice with someone who's already up to speed. As said, no need to...

If the engine is sound, and the chassis rescuable, might be worth it, but if you've not done a project before assume you'll spend a lot more cash and a lot more time than you might think.......! If you have patience and some skills then could be a good find. Good luck, and remember pics! A

.............do we ask why his trousers were already down.......? On second thoughts, let's not.........o_O

Useful advice chaps - I've got 4 to do......... 8-} Manual windows and one piece. The new ones are 2015 MY, old ones 2000 ........ some compatibility issues around the corner too I expect.....? Good luck OP - I'll be watching out for hints/hurdles! Cheers, A

As it's coming up 5 years this looks like a 2 year extended warranty added onto the 3 yr manufacturer warranty when new. Might be official LR contract with them, or could be a dealer/third party contract as said. Each might have different terms about transfer - if it's LR I would guess they...

+1 on adjusting both adjusters on each drum - some bright spark worked in just one adjuster on mine years ago and I nearly drove in the back of the first queue I met after collecting it...... Good luck, A

If ordering on line or by phone I doubt Duckworths will mind where you are....?? I'm sure that will work fine. A

Well said - great source of advice help and fair sprinkling of complete bo**ocks....what more could we want!? Keep it up chaps, A

You say 'Land Rover parts quality' - did Rimmers sell this to you as a LR genuine or as after market? Be interesting to see if there is a difference.....? (And hope you get sorted) A
