Sorry, only just seen this. I passed like four years ago so can't tow ****. I was looking at testing and thought it looked like they stopped doing it altogether. I'll have a look into that. Thanks

Mine will be similar with cameras and covered if I manage to get one. I have a forklift so can make it fairly blocked in with a skip and junk. Thanks for the info, I think I'll just go for it and work out overkill security/leave it in a corner blocked in. Would rather have one and do it and have...

Wondering if anyone has experience with keeping an event vehicle not at home/at work in the open. Probably a stupid question but I want a truck to take on a trailer for peak and dukeries ccv events, and have done for years. Just a basic swb trial truck. Nothing pretty or fancy. Preferably as...

I think the hole in my a pillar will be getting sorted soon so I can finally paint. Been putting that one off for a while. Got a load of raptor since lockdown and it's shelf life is the timer for getting it done. Got piles of parts to spray and will start to attack it. Less gold rush, more work

This is awesome. I love these threads that make me feel lazy and give me a kick up the arse I agree with the Binky comments. Get on YouTube with some funk!

Cap off your screenwash pump for that line. I did a truck cab conversion and forgot Keep the wiring in place in case you change your mind. Don't throw away the tube nor the check valve. Good luck and have fun. Truck cabs are great. Until you break hard and a can of Stella knocks your transfer...

Mint! Love the colour. No one would nick that as they wouldn't want to get involved with gangsters.

Oh ffs at the title. Looks like a good watch though. Cheers. What's the budget for a tidy/acceptable and workable rrc? It's it really silly money now?

My defender is under a wooden carport now. I used to put a tarp over it every day when it would rain before I had the carport. Had strings tied to the holes in the tarp in a way they hooked round the bumper and would wrap around the wings. and the rear had strings that knotted on the Jate rings...

Paddocks are good. Sometimes I've had wrong parts come, during early lockdown mainly, but I'm sure they were adjusting their business just like everyone else. 200tdi rocker gasket instead of 300 etc, irritating, but not happened for a while. I had one order that was almost a lucky bag of random...

So after some fiddling today at work it was the ground for the dash illumination stealing 8 volts from the sender spade somehow, note that the green supply spade was still recieving alternator voltage. With that illumination ground disconnected on the coolant gauge the sender receives the full...

Theres no voltage regulation in the circuit. It's a 1988. It does seem consistent with temp readings of the head. Pulls and runs great for miles. Even with the sender disconnected I'm only getting 5.8 at the spade the sender connects to. But 14.5 on the other spade (green guage feed). The...

Hi guys, can anyone help me get my head around this one regarding my coolant gauge. 1989 90, straight diesel to 300 TDI conversion, you know the one It's got the right sender though. I've got 14.5v on the green cable supplying power to gauges with engine running? So the green terminal has that...

Yeah I'll suck up 20 quid and get it done I just wanted to save on such a minor part. It's only expensive as I've recently replaced the gearbox, decoked head and done brakes! I'm well used to it and love it.

Are the hinges for sun visors available separately? I've misplaced the two from my passenger visor. I've looked online and can't find any individually so may get some used visors but still they can be steep for just the hinges. Just wondered if it was a standard part in older vehicles and I...

I thought the clunk was a semi normal defender noise but lost all drive when I pulled out of work a few weeks ago when the last of the splines went. (Was a Friday so was extra eager to pull off, and I don't mean get home and pull off) Didn't get any notice really, it just works until it doesn't...

So low and behold flying out the bleed screw under power but no hand priming. I'll live with that. MOT next month so I'll ask the guys at DLS to give the engine a look over and see what they think.

Hi guys, I'm a little stumped. My last lift pump wouldn't prime with the hand pump nor out of the bleed pipe so I have fitted another Delphi today. However they both suck via the hand pump on the bench but neither will suck via the hand pump once on the block. I had to basically bolt the pump...

I had smoke from the dash on a drive home. Was pretty bad. Turned out the side light fuses were way overrated (I am an idiot for not checking the rating of what was in, I think they were 20amp or something wild). Melted wiring behind the instrument panel and affected many circuits. The cause was...

Thanks for all the advice. The extent of the damage is basically just the red and white cable from the illumination switch to instruments melting and the red coming from the master light switch started to follow. https://ibb.co/VBFfMK6 I couldn't attach an image on my phone. Getting a lift...
