Folks, off to Wales in couple of weeks to do Strata Florida and other bits and bobs. Got that stuff sorted but looking to do the gap road in breckons the next day. Any start / finish co-ords pls and views on any issues, alternatives much appreciated. Cheers K

For those old enough there is a movie song in there if you look for it. (anyone dare to say they are old enough to admit and recognise it it) Beyond that, looking for advice as to how you keep the alternator in good nick when they get, muddy well, really muddy, and produce less than necessary...

Battery lost power today - Dash showed all was well but clearly not the case. I went offroading and did some wading (as I did will previous 90) and charging warning came on but as it dried out, it went off so assumed all was well. I dont understand how battery loses charge when alternator...

Exhaust fell away from manifold last weekend when off roading. On examination, the bracket that connects to the engine (near the sump) was MIA. I have reconnected at manifold but cannot get anywhere near the connection point at bottom of engine (where exhaust starts its journey to back of car)...

Hand Break keeps sticking, suspect it is as a result of wading. It sticks such that even after driving for 30 mins plus, it still holds on slight incline etc. I have tried to release by playing with adjuster but to no avail - so question - is this inevitable regardless of gear or does it suggest...

My mates diff on 90 went pop yesterday when off roading. He is replacing it today and wonders if 10 or 24 tooth spline is best diff to replace his current 10 spline. No experience here myself so hope this makes sense and appreciate any views..ta

Got wading kit taking air from diffs, transfer box and gearbox. Also put plug in timing box cover for off roading today (will remove soon). Question is - Tried to do same to clutch bell housing but could not find hole. I assume it is right on the bottom ? If so, mine already has plug in to which...

Folks - any ideas Defender 90 - 200tdi. Had one off incident when coming to a halt in a garage, the car shuddered as if it were going to stall. I tried it again and the same happened. Clutch was fully dipped and has never been prob before. This happened another once when leaving garage...

Folks, Anyone ever gone to Outer Hebrides in there LR. One of the monthly mags reckons its the dogs duddas. Thanks for any views

Folks, Bit of a duplicate thread but going to Aston Cantlow for off roading this weekend. It would be good to catch up and say hi to any landyzone locals

So normal off roading today, nothing to note in terms of bumps etc. Prob is that when leaving site I notice steering wheel not aligned (a quarter turn to right more than earlier). Not to worried about that but when travelling at bout 50mph, car had massive shudder that felt like a whelk was...

Folks, any views on whether to carry fire extinguishers in LR Defender that off roads and green lanes (assuming yes) and if so, views on what type, location in vehicle etc. Ta

Folks, Done loads of offroading but little green laning so trying to get some experience. Thinking about a 2 day--er in Wales or Derbyshire with a organisation like "trailmasters". I know some will take view that you should just go alone but for time being, like views pls on location and any...

Me and buddy off roading today in Warwickshire

Anyone had a pulse through the brake pedal when braking. Can only notice it when braking a speeds above 40 ish. Brakes work well but just want to know what the pulsing is. BTW, by pulsing - brake pedal moves slightly up and down when depressed. ta muchly in advance chaps / esses. Truck is 91...

Heard there is a site in Harbury, anyone got any info, ta

Go offroading 2 or 3 times a month. It does take its toll on the truck and recently sold my 90 which was feeling the effects (transfer box and hand brake had popped recently). Looking to continue getting muddy with new 90 but interested in what you do to limit the damage, not worried about body...

In recent threads, folks have talked about using a hi lift as a winch. I have never done this but can see only limited use but interested to know more. Any views on where, where not, pro's-con's limitations. Photo's would be great. Ta
