    I've got the shakes

    between 45 and 55mph, my 110 has serious steering wheel wobble. It feels as if the whole of the steering components are going to shake themselves off!! BUT if I accelerate hard to 60mph then it isn't half as bad and then is ok when I sit as this speed. If I hit 70mph it comes back but more...

    A silent defender engine!!!!!

    I never thought that there this could happen, but if you install a new head unit into a defender and turn it up really loud then you can't hear the engine at all. I discovered more when I realised that by turning the stereo up really loud makes you drive faster (well it does when you like U2...

    loss of transmission

    I was happily driving my defender stopped to let an ambulance past. As I stopped, something made a very loud self destructing noise and when I put it in gear to set off, it revved lots and refused to move. After getting out and looking round, propshafts still in place, nothing visible broken...
