Yeah a 130 would be nice :)

:) Great minds think alike eh? :)

Slide it up a ladder?

Yeah it was an obvious choice for me as I have a boat and used to be into kayaks in quite a big way. These port covers have been used for a multitude of purposes by me and many others. Perfect for the job, but I shoulda gone with a black one.

Today's little efforts ... This morning I drilled out a few of the pop rivets in my bulkhead, got the plasma cutter out and made a bit of a hole in one of my wheel arches: Next I cut up the off cut I'd removed and sort of re-attached a bit of it lower down: To support it underneath I used...

Made a small start on my camper convo. Here.

I finally am getting to make a start on my camper conversion so I have started a thread HERE.

When I first got my Defender, I bought it specifically for getting my boat up and down the very stony beach where I usually launch. Strangely, the boat has never been in the water since I bought the Landy. Anyway, my intention was to make a camper type conversion in the back to give me...

Oh I know, but if you do decide to drop your tank be very very careful. Dropping the tank is easy enough, but if you let it fall too far before you disconnect the fuel lines the plastic clips on the pipes will probably break. So you need to lower it gently until you can get your hand in to...

And that was the man who provided me with most of the knowledge I have acquired on here ... also, he was the first man to mention the fuel pump to me waaaaaay back then..... Great bloke is our Shifty.

Let us know Keany when you solve it ... too many people come on and get help and never say if he got the solution. We aint looking for gratitude, just knowledge.

Hi, My TD5 did similar when I first got it. I noticed that I'd stalled it a couple of times ... I found it quite amusing that I could stall an engine like this. Then it became easier to do. Eventually she started to cut out on me for no apparent reason. In the end it took me 4 months of...

That looked like fun

Took her for her annual health check, which she passed with a few expected advisories for various brake pipes which were expected and slight play in a rear radius arm bush (not expected.) Pipes will be done this week-end, bushes now on order and will be replaced a.s.a.p. So I'm a happy chappy.

Check your wheel bearings, check pistons are free in the callipers, the one that is slow to lock up might be stiff or seized.

Ahhhh ok ta muchly. It's just that I saw something on Fleabay I liked and thought I recognised his name.

Thanks for the offer, but:- a. Wrong area. b. Yer not ma type, wrong shape. :)

I am sure I have seen the name Paul Hatfield on here somewhere, is he a member? I can't find how to search the members lists or I would have checked myself first. I might have known him from a different forum though. If he is a member, please don't identify him in case it upsets him. Paul if...

Went back today to collect the board I used as a stretcher (part of my bed in the landy,) poor wee dog didn't make it, she was only a year old this week too. How sad :(

Used it as an emergency animal ambulance to ferry a wee dog and it's extremely distressed owner to the nearest vet when dog had been hit by a car.
