Plus one vote for Maxxraxx. It fits onto a plate bolted behind the tow ball, and hinges down to allow access to the rear door. (This can be done with 2 bikes still on, but its heavy - easier if they're taken off). I have the plate fixed on my disco and another plate fixed on the back of my 127...

I tried Britpart ones because of the price of genuine, and to be honest I'm very happy with them. They fit and work well (Defender). I had read that others had also found them good. Wouldn't use Britpart for any important parts though!

I live in France, so not sure it would be the same, but I paid approx £107 for the unit, £16 delivery and £25 vat. That was all prepaid on eBay. When it was delivered the postie asked for 32 euros (£27 ish), assume that was import duty. It's not the cheapest gauge around, but it seems well...

I bought one of these from Gaugeinnovations in Australia, which also has a gearbox temp gauge built in. There are other options. Haven't fitted it yet so I've no idea how good it is, but it's another option for you. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313361806925

Hey, the photo was perfectly clear. Job done and working. Thanks all.

OK thanks. I bought the right parts, and they are identical to what i took off (just that they had been wrongly fitted with the upper UJ at the bottom and vice versa). I've been driving it for 15 years with them like this so maybe its not that important in any case! I'm just not sure whether...

Thanks v8250, I found that diagram before. I have the middle version so the orientation of the bar is clear, but the UJs appear to be the same in that diagram. The upper and lower UJs I've bought are different however, and the diagram does not make it clear how they go. I've attached photos of...

Hello all, some advice needed please I'm fitting new steering UJs, but when I removed the old ones it seems the upper UJ (NRC7387) had been fitted at the bottom and the lower one (NRC7704) at the top, either that or the whole bar was upside down (must have been like this for the last 15 years...

Hi Leon, I lived in Bristol for many years and always used DBL based in Nailsea, for regular maintenance/MOT and for major works too (eg rear drum to disc conversion) . Its not far and there's a regular bus service should you need to leave your vehicle there. Its run by Dave who only works on...

Well done royr1, excellent tip. I just fixed my non working horn for nothing by using an unused wire on the squib unit. Thanks a lot. Cheers Clive

Hi, no part numbers for the helper springs, sorry. They were there already, and I didn't buy new ones. Good luck with the build, its looking good.

Hi. I have a converted 127 ambulance and initially the body roll was scary. Usual weight is about 3.2 tons, probably well over 3.5 for a trip. I fitted military springs, whilst leaving the original helper springs inside. Part numbers are ANR3540 (Green / Pink stripe-8055kg) to the back and...

Thanks for that I took the thermostat housing off in the end. I hadn't realised that the bottom two bolts on the housing are in slits rather than holes so you only have to loosen them. It wasn't such a hard job and the bit of plastic was sitting there waiting. I'm glad its out and I will be...

Hi all 300tdi. Any advice most welcome.... I noticed a spot of coolant leaking from the plastic 'plug' on the top of the thermostat housing. As I had a spare handy I decided to replace the plug to stop the leak. The hex head broke off so I carefully cut away at the plastic left inside. I got...

Hi all I've a really annoying rattle coming from the door area. It happens whenever the road is less than perfectly smooth. The only way I can get it to stop is with the window open, by clamping the top of the door to the frame with my hand. Not a very safe driving position. So I assume...

Thanks for the reassurance guys Whats Biocide? Clive

Hi all I've read about the possiblity of getting poor quality diesel in developing countries and/or remote locations. I'm not sure if this means impurities ie dirt/water in the fuel, or what. 'Diesel Bug' does seem to exist, but is it really an issue? I'm off to Morocco soon and was...

I got mine from Safari Equip in Bradford. Very pleased with them, certainly heavy duty. Give Tom a ring on 01274835500. Or visit their website at Safari Equipment :: Land Rover Spares & Accessories clive

Hi Spuddog I live in Bristol and have just fitted my first CB. Not attached to the aerial yet tho! I don't intend to use mine much, mostly for holidays/overlanding or events such as London to Brighton run. I'll listen out for you though when I get it working! Cheers Clive
