Hello, I'm looking at replacing my tires with new ones but i have a small dilemma. I've been running 265/75/16 BFG MT KM1s and pretty much the same size Simex'. I've got a 110SW with a 3 inch OME kit fitted, so the 265 flex very well without ever touching. Now, i'm tempted to replace them with...

thanks for the reply. Indeed, we've heard both sides of the arguments. Syria has been deemed safe by the Embassy. We've explained exactly what we want to do and where we want to go and they were ok with it - apparently it's all cooled down. Lebanon is still unde discussion but is definitely...

As i understood, there's no more travel ban. Neither have i heard of incidents, in terms of kidnapping/vehicle heists/so on, so forth. A couple of mates did Syria two months ago by bike, and he was fine. He even said the bribe levels are far lower than Jordan or Lebanon. So, somehow i am not...

Hello guys, We're looking at spending about a month doing a tour of Syria, Jordan and Lebanon, with New Year's Night in one of the countries, basically. We're planning to take a Defender 110 SW and a Toyota Hilux along, with roof tents, bicycles, the whole nine yards. Has anyone been in those...

sounds about fair. After some consideration, i just changed it with the regular oil i always use :) Cheers

Hello guys, I stumbled onto the guys over at SynLube, while working on a project for the Bremach T-Rex. Their lube, which in theory lasts for abot 100k miles, sounds like a good thing. I have a 99 TD5 Defender 110. It sounds quite eco-friendly and would get a great mileage. Turns out they've...

Hello guys, Have you any ideas if there are such things as rear mud flaps for 130s? Greatly appreciate it, T.

changed drive shafts to HD and bought a larger compressor :)

i was hoping the coils and insides are recon as well ...:(

well ... thanks guys. i had simex 33s on my truck and basically that's the time when my 110 got the worst hammering. then i gathered the brains to figure out that i need a 90 for off roading and a 110 for expeditions. but now, my 110 has quite a bit of damage in the box and i would really rather...

Hello guys, I was wondering if any of you know if the steering box fixing kit (small one with seals and that) fits both on Defenders and Discos. If not, does anyone know of a place where i can get a Disco kit pls? Point number two. i have an expedition prepared Defender 110 which is currently...

Problem solved. It turns out it just needs to run. We got a new car to use in the city so the Defender has been driven around less. The clutch system got some dirt in, which settled and clogged everything around there, just before the pump. Our mechanic took it out, cleaned it, works like a...

odd. The clutch got back to normal for a while, one random morning. And this morning, it's stiff again - same symptoms. Tried to drive it and not only was it hard, the damn thing, when i pressed it, just stayed down. Any clues?

Hello guys, Since my Defender hasn't had any problems in a long while, i think it figured it's about time it messed with my holidays a bit. I drove it all week (1999 110sw Td5) and had no problems until this morning. Two things came along, a little bit delayed from one another. Firstly, the...

Hello guys, I have decided to start looking around for a rollcage for my 110 SW. I also figured i want it to be full external, nothing inside the car - as it protects my bodywork as well as myself. I saw Safety Devices used to make some that you bolted on when you needed them, which i though...

we were thinking of doing a counter clockwise trip of the country. the idea is that if it rains or the conditions are difficult, we can cut part of the mountains because it will be quite hard to pass over in these conditions. We are kind of pondering whether to go in the summer but at this point...

Hello there, I have a '99 Defender 110 TD5, which lately has caused alot of problems, including trashing our prospects of a holiday in Morocco, due to injection washers (details here These days...: About how we never left for Africa ). The guys told me i need alot changed inside, starting with...

Yes well... my trip to morocco was unfortunately delayed. The injection washers on my 110 failed to deliver and my truck stopped 500 miles after the trip started. Thus i was unceremoniously taken back to Bucharest on the platform. Here's a full account of what happened, on my blog: These...

thanks guys. the departure is only one week away now, and all is ready more or less. Medicine cabinet, trip planner, sand ladders, water tanks, new CB radio, excellent one too, and loads and loads of other things. I was planning to take pictures and write about it to publish in one of the LR...

no worries big ad. i managed to write the post before i noticed all others, because i was in a hurry. yes i did read all other posts and there are alot of interesting bits and bobs that will help. i am pretty set, just got the sand ladders, spare drive and prop shafts and IPF's this week and...
