Are tubes not better if used offroad? I'll be honest i don't know anything about tyres yet!

Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I'm wondering if there may be something else at play? Had a blow out on the motorway the other week. Nearside rear, put the spare on (which had a brand new tube in 5 months ago and hadn't been used since!) and it went flat after 5 miles of motorway driving... Waited...

one of my customers got raided. we had a reg and clear images on CCTV, you could see them making phone calls to eachother as well and the place is in the middle of nowhere so it wouldn't have been hard to get phone records! but they weren't interested and didn't investigate due to lack of...

if you want loud, you'll want a master blaster! think of a mini air raid siren. 120db of pure hell. i've fitted hundreds of them and a few dozen of my customers that have them have had attempted break-ins... shock sensors on windows mean that the siren is ringing before they're even in, and they...

Sorry to hear that pal! I know it's not much use now, but i work in the security systems industry so if you need any alarms/cameras/locks/etc at trade price let me know! Can't stand theiving bastards! Especially when it's tools!

I think this is a sensible idea! I do... looking for off road camping spots ;) work lights are a good idea, does anyone have any brands to recommend/avoid?

Thanks, i've noticed about the vented/unvented types. i'll probably go with unvented as if i need air, i can just open the window or the windscreen vents... 400x400mm seems to be a pretty standard size, which i'd be happy with. i just don't like the look of any i've seen! (only 3 semi decent...

Thanks, all good advice! I understand that lights at the front of the roof will create a shadow, but won't this be taken care of by the factory headlamps? I've never fitted led lights to a vehicle before so I'm greatful for all the info! The reason for the side lights is because this defender...

If i was worried about spending money, i wouldn't have bought a 1980s defender!

Hi all, i'd like to fit some LED light bars to my 110. i'm an electrician by trade so wiring, light output etc isn't a problem, but i'd love some advice on where to locate the lights! I'd like to have 360* coverage (on separate switches, most of the time i'll only use the front) so i plan to...

Hey all, just after some advice! My 110 is converted to a camper in the rear, i'd love to add a sunroof to it for two reasons. 1: so that i can see the sky from bed, 2: to provide ventilation as it can get quite humid in there with a few people in... do any of you have sunroof experience? This...

Hi guys, just an update if anyone reads this in the future. i opened the box behind the clutch pedal up, and i adjusted the bolts. it's now working absolutely fine, as it should do and i've driven 100 miles so far. i've still got the new master/slave cylinder, but not fitted them. i'll keep them...

You mean like this? ;)

Thanks guys, the weather wasn't too cold today and i had some time after work to have a look. I can't find any leaks, I topped the fluid up a few weeks ago (it was already at a good level) and it's not gone down. I was going to bleed the system but ran out of time. i've ordered a new master and...

Thanks everyone! Fluid level seems okay. I've finally got some free hours tomorrow to look at the beast properly! I'll report back with pictures.

Sorry how do I move it?

Hi again everyone, Long story short my (1983) 110 had been sat for 2 weeks due to a flat battery, i had to get it home on a flatbed. I noticed the clutch wasn't working Once I sorted the battery out and tried to drive away. I think it's something between the pedal and the clutch itself. It...

okay, forget the '80' - I would happily accept going 65/70! my max speed at the moment is 45, 50 at a push. If i'm driving for longer than 20 mins I have to wear ear defenders otherwise my ears start hurting which is less than ideal :( I bought this vehicle primarily because i wanted a small...

That's very useful, and a great tool. Thank you! i'll have to do lots more poking around to find out the model numbers of gearbox etc, i'm pretty sure they're stock though. Sadly it seems this engine isn't really fit for my needs so i'll probably replace the engine, or the whole car (deffo want...

Sorry about the lengthy delay guys! "real life" gets in the way once again... Here is the pump number! I looked for the engine number but really struggled to find it.i find what looks like the place it should be but there wasn't anything readable on it. Here's the pump number.thanks again...
