All good info, cheers.

That's a fair point, don't think I'd chance it in the future unless it's just a simple pull to gain traction or something. Besides, my 1985 90 with petrol engine will struggle to pull the skin off a rice pudding, so don't really want to go having a tug of war with anything. But may consider...

all good advice. cheers. I'm a practical person but sometimes it's worth asking and reminding ourselves that you may do more harm than good. I'll stick to towing people out of puddles instead in the future.

That's a good point, could easily bend a tow hook or worse. Especially the weight of cars these days.

this seems like a good choice... https://webexltd.co.uk/shop/tow-strap-hook-loop/ but yes, some general advice for all if anyone can share. Obviously, you have to fix to the towee to a tow hook. Personally, I would just drop it over my tow bar, but any advice on this is always helpful.

I must say, and trying not to be too judgemental here. the van was brand new and was converted to have a wheelchair in the back on a ramp. He was massive, I mean, he could barely stand up let alone look under the car to see what he had done. His wife standing by the side, somehow, was larger...

Maybe this... Although, paddock do this, maybe with a couple of shackles as suggested, it may do for having under the seat. https://www.paddockspares.com/pm1171-6mtr-recovery-tow-strap.html I'll wait to see what else anyone can suggest.

I was at a local jumble sale by our scout hut saturday and some **** moved the cones that were put there to stop people driving on the very boggy field next to the hard standing car park. then they drove their transit custom that must have weighed 2 tonnes and got very stuck. They buried their...

Yes, I've also been reading this. Not getting anyone who's done this, seems it's on top so, with the right stuff and some relatively simple mods. At the end of the day it's only a nice to have. The system shared above takes up to 1600kg. So it would have to be something more powerful...

I have the right license for over 750kg braked, that's not an issue. How would an A frame brake the vehicle, surely you would have to convert the land rover to brake when the motorhome brakes. Or are you saying with a commercial license you can tow higher unbraked?

(UK) I'd like to tow my 1985 Land rover 90 behind my Mercedes A class motorhome. My motorhome is more than capable of towing this weight without issue, but for info it weighs in at 3.5 tonnes, has a max weight of 4.5tonnes and has max tow train of 6.3 tonnes according to the stamp on the...

My 1985 LR 90 has 6 keys. I was looking at reducing this. 1 for ignition, that's always going to be the same one 1 for bonnet 1 for RH door 1 for LH door 1 for rear door and 1 for the lock on fuel cap. Now I don't mind the bonnet one or the fuel one, I don't fill up often enough for it to...

Oh bugger. I had a week of lovely heat, then this morning half way through my journey the blower was not ...well....blowing in the cab. Fan was blowing ok and blowing air through every gap in the heater box but not much through the vents in the cab....my suspicion is the new foam bit I made...

Went for the weber replacement in the end, nothing like the smell of a new weber in the morning. Starts much better, little flat spot when the second choke opens, I put that down to the shonky distro someone fitted. The cap is slack and has a bit of play, so that'll be my next replacement...

That is a cool idea.

I was considering that, but it'll be a little awkward. Plan is, use ramp to get the old dog in, slam door shut, clamp it to the spare wheel some how. Store it in the back when out on pack walks or forest walks, then all the other times it stays in the back, so it'll only be for the odd trip. I...

That is a thought. I may consider that.

I’ll tell her that mate, she’ll rip ya crutch out.

Don’t have a roof rack and don’t really want one currently. I might try to make a steel sprung bar that clamps it to the tyre, it’s only when I take the dogs somewhere so won’t be stuck there all the time.

Got a dog ramp for my ageing dog and wondered if anyone has stored it on the spare tyre on back door. Was about to look at tuley strap it on but thought I’d ask around anyway. I have a 90 and space for 2 big dogs becomes a problem when I keep it inside.
