Hi all, quick question. Back callipers of my defender have normal hex heads on the outside and the funny shaped ones I can never find the right spanner from on the inside. Should it have the weird ones on both? Anyone able to give me size of both types? Thanks.

This belonged to a good friend who died very suddenly just before Christmas. So posting on behalf of his wife. Don’t know a huge amount about its history but it has lain there for a number of years (over 5 if memory serves) It was bought with the intention of doing up and using (why he never...

After many years faithful service my battery has finally died. It is a 110ah 800cca and always started first kick. Was going to stick a spare tractor one in it but just checking if there could be any problems. The ones I have are both 130ah one with 1000cca and the other 950cca. Used tractor...

Hi all. Today my rear n/s halfshaft decided it would like to leave. Fortunately caught it before it went. Question is how could it leave? Shaft appears complete and seen worse splines. Currently trying to get into diff but being foiled by 3 bolts at moment. Next question, what am I likely to...

The whine is increasing so time to get a new one before it finally dies. (Likely on a busy A road, in the country, on a blind corner at rush hour!!} Which make to go for? Which manufacturer? Is Denso worth £100 over Lucas? Suggestions and advice gratefully received. Thanks.

Anyone got any rough idea how much paint to paint a 110sw? Also, if overcoating with same colour will I be ok with a good sand then couple of overcoats? Thanks guys.

Life used to be simple……….or maybe it was me. Anyways had a 7.50 x 16 tyre in shed so needing it for my trailer. Easy, phone up local farm supplier and get a couple of tubes. Oooh no, not that easy now is it? Do I want TR13, a TR15, aTR6 TR7 etc. Well I had a TR7 at one point but it was only...

Hi all My defender has a set of genuine Landy spotlights on it, like the ones in the pic. Before I butcher them can anyone tell me if they come part to change the bulbs in them? Thanks. B***ocks Cant get pics to upload. They’re the Land Rover 8” ones with plastic grids on them. Thanks.

As it says in the title. My landy 110sw sv had lovely sv genuine landy spots with white grill as part of the original build. Drove into garage and forgot the weight bench. Using my skill and judgment I put the front bar straight into the light. Anyone help? Would take 1 or a pair. Thanks.

Any ideas please. My 2000 td5 always started first turn. Never failed me in 5 years. However, twice now I've arrive at my destination, gone tod restart soon after and nothing!! All lights on, fuel pump running, so power there, turn key.....nothing, no click, just nothing except the red engine...

Old age and its accompanied aches, pains, failing eyesight etc etc. are sadly catching up despite my belief that I’m still in my early thirties and sometimes barely 18. As a result I’ve sold off the gas gear and ditched the aged (and crap) arc welder thinking, “I’m not really needing these...

Sorry to revive a well worn subject but this leccy trickery stuff confuses me. I've got a set of long big ass jump leads (1000 amp or thereabouts) coz I regularly have to jump start an old roller and the odd tractor. Now the roller in particular takes a bit of cawing so the high amp leads don't...

So, got all my oils together. Tools ready, trusty homemade 10l drain pan. All good. Axles. Check. Transfer box. Check. Gearbox..........who the flock decided it was a good idea to put the drain plug on the side??? So, crossmember rust proof, radius arm rust proof, section of chassis rust proof...

Know it’s been asked before but despite searches can’t find an answer. Been looking for high backed 2nd row seats for my 110sw td5 for some time but to no avail (well, within a reasonable distance from me!) Have just got the chance of a full set, leather front and rear, from a BMW 335 for...

Got the following parts if anyone interested. Cross Rod Eye End (part no. ANR2859) This is for LHD vehicles. Brand new, in its box. Ordered right one but was sent this instead. Bought it last August and just getting round to fitting it today!!! Think its Britpart but will check. ***This is for...

Any ideas guys? Just spent 2 hours trying to get this little f... varmint out to no avail. Did one on my 90 no probs a couple of years back but this one has me beaten so far. Just as well I'm bald already!!! Thanks

Lying under the landy ****ed off, covered in usual, oil, mud, rust. Done the axles, removed the rear prop, started fitting new one....too bloody long!! Had a quick look in parts section but still at a loss. Can any kind lady or gentleman (or even not so kind) please give me correct part number...

Looking for ideas. Got a kinda knock from below when driving. Bit like going over these slowy down strips on the road. Initial thought was propshaft joints, front just recently done and rear seems ok with a cursory quick shake albeit without it jacked up so far. Checked wheel nuts, all good. So...

Trying to bleed out fuel system after my son running it out of diesel. :( Not being successful so far. Then spotted this wee pipe! Anyone tell me what it is and where it connects please? Thanks.
