Seen at 06-10 this morning in Birmingham. A medium to large silver car, possibly a BMW being driven at speed, closely followed, ( with less than 2 car lengths between them ) by a very shiny black 90 truck cab with black wheels. It's the sort of thing you see when road rage and the vehicle...

I'm in the middle of fitting a new set of Raptor dash, trim and speedo bezel parts to my 90. Just found a problem with the bezel panel... the holes to take the speedo, clock, temperature gauge and fuel gauge are too small to take them and it's more than just slightly too small. The hole for...

Been trying to come up with a solution for some time to sort out where to stow my Ardcase pedal lock instead of leaving it on the passenger footwell floor. Then I had a brainwave. Opened the back door of my Defender and slid the Ardcase behind the grab handle..... just to see if it would fit...

In June last year I subscribed to Land Rover Monthly magazine, mainly because I had started to buy it monthly anyway and there would be a cost saving having it delivered, However, part of the deal was the offer of a free model of HUE166 which for me was the decider. My first copy of the...

Has anyone please got a Certificate of Conformity that I could borrow or buy so that I can get my Defender through an IVA ( Individual Vehicle Approval ) test by the DVLA ? It's a short wheel base 300 TDi station wagon that I built myself from parts, some second-hand and some new. The...

I fitted a Land Rover approved immobiliser spider kit to my Defender some years ago but for various reasons never got around to programming it. Now that I'm trying to get it all working, I'm unable to get the gold fob to make the sensor bleep to enable the programming of the two green fobs. If...

Been trying to set up a Kenlowe fan in my 300 TDI. Following the instructions I turned the adjustment knob fully clockwise, ran the engine so that the temperature gauge was halfway between N and H. Then slowly turned the adjuster knob back towards C. When it reached C, the fan blades jerked...

I'm thinking of fitting a catalyst to my 300 Tdi, but with Land Rover wanting over £600 + VAT; I need convincing that it will make a worthwhile improvement to the emissions when I take it for it's IVA test at the DVLA. My engine is new, by the way. I'd like to know what readings everyone else...

Look up Trunk Monkey on Google if you want to see how to deal with car thieves.

If you park on your drive or your garden at night, this idea will give you more peace of mind... though no good if you park in the street. Presumably you will have at least one PIR security light on the front of your property (hopefully mounted high enough for no one to be able to reach it and...

Hello everyone. I'm building a Defender 300TDI which is mostly consisting of 2000 and 2001 parts. A lot of my parts are new including all the wiring harnesses purchased from my local Land Rover appointed dealership. I thought I had fitted all the necessary wiring, but now I am not so...

Hello everyone I'm a new member and this is my first thread. I'm building a coil sprung Defender which consist of parts for years 2000 to 2001. I thought I had all the wiring harnesses fitted, but now I am not so sure. I have a 'Spider' fitted but I don't know what should plug into the socket on...
