Thanks for the info I think it is now available in white also.

Thanks for the reply but I was talking about sealing them on the outside of the rim in the gap where the rust always seems to start. I can see that tiger sealing the tyre on would be a problem!

Looking for a bit of advice please. Just got a set of brand new wheels and tyres for my defender. I heard from someone that I would be wise to seal the inside of them with sillicone. Has anyone done this? Does it work? Someone else said to me that I must use a product called tiger seal because...

My td5 disco started to leak coolant so I investigated the source and found that it is a blanking piece on the oil cooler I took off the turbo heat shield and it was just dripping from the rubber bung with the area around dry.

Thanks a million that sounds like good advice. Is it a big job and will I require special tools beyond the usual jacks and axle stands? Thanks steve

I will not for the foreseeable future be using it for more than a couple of hundred kilos. The reason why I went for such a big yolk is that I intend to do a pile of overlanding in a few years time at which point I intend to return it back to the stiff suspension. steve

just bought a 130 double cab and am loving the space. I do however find the rear suspension very stiff especially for the potholes of ireland where i live. I do not carry heavy loads nor do I tow regularly. Can anyone advise me if I can change the rear coil springs to reduce the harshness of the...

when i first got my landy i kept doing the same thing so all i did was change my sidelights and rear lights for led units they use so little it doesnt seem to matter. steve

When my nearside rear wheel goes over a bump there is a high pitched rattle. I have crawled underneath and cannot see anything loose or any sign of what it might be. If anyone has any clues as to where to start looking I would appreciate it. steve
