Has anyone used used any of the Thule Ride on Bike racks with a defender. This one looks good but I am not clear if it will fit on the defender with the spare wheel. Thule 9403 Ride On 3-Bike Towball Rack

Does the Pendle 3 bike rack handle 2 bikes well? I only need 2 bikes and getting the 3 bike rack and and not having to have the spacer for the spare wheel looks like a good solution. The Pendle racks seem to have a very good reputation.

Simon, thanks for that, I will join.

Yes I may be interested. Any thoughts on route? Russia/China/SE Asia? I hear that China without a guide will soon be possible and that might be better than Iran/Pakistan/Burma etc ....

Hi It would be great to have someone to drive around with, trouble is I dont know where to drive!! Still hoping to get a response to this query about Thetford Forest. I have now tried to sign up with the Green lane people twice but my applications seem to go into a black hole and I never...

Anyone ? ..... I am planning on a trip to Norfolk next weekend

Wow that bulkhead went for £550 .....

Does anyone know if its still possible to drive any of the forestry commision trails in Thetford Forest and if so how I can find them? I have done lots of googling but I cant find any details, the forrestry commision site talks about cycling and horses but nothing about 4wd.

I read it somewhere (i think on Lr4X4) but thinking about it cant be right can it. My reasoning is that is the disco can perform well with these rations then the Defender with the same engine (TD5 in mine) should also be able to. However I havent done it yet and thats why I would love from...

I still think different ratios or a disco xfer box is a better solution, I cant see how land rover could object as its all their parts and its a simpler more efficient solution that overdrive. Wont make any difference to low ratio so I dont see any downside? But I would love to hear from...

Or change the ratios, which I think is a much better bet: Ashcroft Transmissions I am going to get these done for mine soon, although the bits are fairly cheap I expect its just as expensive as the overdrive fitting as there must be a lot of work to put the new rations in place. Anyone had...

Dont forget to paint it white, I find White landies are slightly faster on the road and a little better off road as well.

I am pretty sure that every new model of Landy has had similar things said about it in terms of being too complex compared with the earlier model. I have a 4 years old Td5 and I don't see why it wont last forever with regular maintenance. I drove a new 110 for 3 hours a couple of weeks ago...

Um, I am to much of a coward to try it but I still think the TD5 would be fine with a certain percentage of Veg oil, I would not be surprised if it works fine with 25%. But..... It would be good to hear if anyone else has tried. Kerosene is not that much different from diesel so I dont...

I have read lots of threads about using veg oil in the TD5 and I know that the accepted wisdom is dont do it. However I am interested if anyone does actually use veg oil in a TD5 either with a separate system or as a diesel additive! I have not found anything from someone who has direct...

Redhand, thats not completely correct, Its true that most of the supermarket fuel comes from the same depots as the major stuff however although the base fuel is the same the thing that differentiates most of the premium fuels is the additives added to the tanker when picking up from the depot...

Is this one any use?

I bury mine in the garden then dig it up again in the spring ;-)
