On a forum a few months back I asked the age-old question... do I get the chassis replaced or sell as a going concern? The overwhelming response was get it replaced, or you’ll just end up regretting it! Somebody recommended Si Sagar at SS 4x4 Performance so we had a chat on the phone the...

Hi all. I bought this Sankey narrow track trailer a couple of years back. However, despite best intentions (and pesky family life), it's pretty much sat where I dropped it off. So - I regret it's back up for sale. Hopefully the next owner will get a little further than me. It's a 1967 Narrow...

Hi all, Over the last week, the brakes on the 90 have been getting a little spongy. On first depress of brake pedal, it goes nearly to the ground, then every pump after gets stiffer. They stay ok for a little bit, a few hundred yards and then back to pumping the pedal. I've not had chance to...

Hardly used and in great condition. Will get total actuations off once the battery has charged. I bought it all new a few years ago but it just sits in the cupboard not getting used. Literally stumbled across it getting the Christmas decs out. Nikon D300s Body...

I bought the below wingtop cable guard ‘plates’ from Will at https://www.landroverdefendersecurity.com What a hefty bit of kit - it must be about 5mm thick. It looks good and so easy to fit. Secured that pesky little hole in about 8 minutes, nice and easy. The plate bolts from underneath so you...

Hi all, 2001 Defender TD5. Bonnet alarm switch. Where should the switch go and should there be a loom/wire to pick up somewhere in the engine bay (purple with blue trace)? Cheers in advance

Hi all, I was replacing the passenger side switch for a new one and dropped the cable back in to the hole. I popped a bore scope down there but can't see it, assumed it would be caught in there or resting at the bottom?!? What route does it take? Not sure where it could disappear to? Cheers

Let's say you were silly enough to fork out for a BBUS relocation loom, but when getting around to fitting it you realise you don't actually have a BBUS... do you; A) Buy a BBUS and retrofit (I have a nanocom) or B) Pay a little bit more and get a thatcham/Clifford style alarm fitted or C) Just...

Hi collective brains, My TD5 seems to be boosting earlier than normal. Casually driving to the end of my road has me in limp mode unless i'm going super slow through the gears. My style of driving hasn't changed and neither has my route to work. But, I am boosting higher (and sooner) than...

Just read this on the Patriot Roof Rack page - may be some bargains to be had :) We're planning a sale for this weekend, we have a load of stock to shift to make way for some new products so from midday on the 11th of August to midday the 13th of August we are offering... 10% off all our roof...

Hi all, I'm slowly sourcing parts for an onboard air system with bits of information gathered here, there and everywhere (surprisingly hard to find an actual parts list with links to what you need etc..). I have an almost new sanden compressor from a puma a/c that i'm going to use (not got it...

Hi all, Managed to get a good price on a patriot roof rack and a howling moon from a friend (didn't realise it was such a good deal until I sat down and worked it all out last night). However, the roof rack and access ladder are bare naked aluminium. I think i'd prefer them to be black to...

Hi all I'm upgrading the roofrack so this one will be available in the week. No idea of make, it has a bit of surface rust but no real rot that I can see. As you can see, I chopped one side so the awning would sit in a bit and not overhang the car (anal I know). Available in north Herts, a...

Hi all, Toying with making the inside a little more 'comfortable' and 'modern'. I appreciate it's not for everybody, so no need to comment if you think it's a waste of time and that real off-roaders don't have carpet (or similar). But, more than happy to hear any technical reasons why carpet...

Stolen - Codicote, Hertfordshire Just seen this on Facebook and posting as close ish to me... If the owner is on here, sorry for posting ahead of you. More details when they come. It was early hours of this morning...

Hi guys n gals, Last week, got in the car to drive home...pulled out of the space at work the car shuddered, lost power, engine management light came on but then it was ok (so I thought). Going up the driveway, it felt a tad sluggish throughout all gears but I don't really gather speed on the...

Wow! Ordered on Monday at 2pm. It Tuesday at 10am. Fitted it in my lunch break - literally 25 minutes. However, I had one grub screw refusing to come out so left the new nylon cup out so I could drive home (but today armed with my impact driver, half a can of plusgas, some gentle love taps and...

Hi all, Think my suspension needs a refresh. Anybody got newish 'take offs' after upgrading? Mine's a 2001 TD5 but assume shocks and springs from newer will work? Ta

Hi all, I bought this last week on amazon (). There's nothing wrong with it, brand new and in perfect condition. I simply don't like the style against my black watch ⌚️ It's for a 42mm and will work on both Apple Watch 1 and 2 £15 including delivery
