    Reupholstering Seats with Homemade Covers

    🤣 Am I having a trip!! I think these look better in an original VW bus with the added optional extra of dreamcatcher from the rear view mirror!!

    Reupholstering Seats with Homemade Covers

    It will be a bit of an experiment, I don't have a huge amount of experience with upholstery. i thought it might be an interesting way to cut my teeth...I'm sure mother will be over my shoulder telling me I'm doing it wrong!! I didn't exactly want to take the current upholstery apart more than I...

    Reupholstering Seats with Homemade Covers

    Hello all other Suffering Sods, I have a landy with Raleigh fabric and its starting to become a bit thread bare. Raleigh fabric seems to be nigh on impossible to get hold of for not an extortionate amount of money. So I've decided I want to be a bit of masochist. I want to find a similar fabric...

    ARB Compressor and Rear Lockers

    Sorry for the radio silence from me, the email notifications ceased notifiying!! I might have to look into the Ashcroft torque bias unit. @D1Nut do you have any experience with E-Lockers? I'm also being a bit of a halfwit, I have a rover rear axle for my 90...is that a 24 spline?

    ARB Compressor and Rear Lockers

    I've seen Detroit but I have heard they can switch on under normal driving on the road...do correct me if I'm wrong. Wind up is a threat with proper lockers but can't LSDs have issue in tight corners and tyre wear? I quite like the idea of it being on or off but open to your suggestions. I did...

    ARB Compressor and Rear Lockers

    Sorry my wording is cr4p!! I know an e diff doesn't need an air compressor but I want to start carrying one on the car anyway for tyres etc. Why would you go for an LSD over an actual locking diff as I have my reservations about LSDs?

    ARB Compressor and Rear Lockers

    2 questions really, I have a '97 Defender 90 that I use for farm work and light off roading (as well as a daily driver!) and I have come across times where I really could have done with a rear diff locker (as the wallet won't stretch to a front as well). I'm looking at ARB's air lockers or...

    Kill Switch Parasitic Drain 300TDi Defender

    I have fitted a kill switch in series with the stop solonoid and I now seem to have an intermittent parasitic draw which drains the batteries in about 2 hours. I have also recrimped a connector going to the blower motor. It's failed to start 2 since fitting (battery at 11.5v) but has started...
