Just bought a defender with a light bar fitted. They worked beautifully for a week, then fused ( I think). So which fuse will it be?? An extra or the one for the main beam. Have to admit I haven't had a look yet. They look like they've been fitted properly and I've got an internal flick...

Fair play Treg....... A few points: 1. Sadly, this will be a private vehicle so we have to pay the VAT. That is a no no. 2. Ideally we want a county pack, nice alloys etc... not like number 2 3. Last one seems a bit more like it but once we have fitted tow bar and electrics, chucked...

I hear what you're saying about the definition of "upgrade" but for general road driving with the odd horsebox drag through a muddy field the TD5 is a much nicer sounding and refined engine... appreciate the head gasket reliability worries!!! A bit more info. The car is a private sale, it...

Just sold my much loved 300tdi and am after something a bit fresher to tow the horse, go to work and do Tesco in. So was thinking of an 05 Hardtop, have seen one for about £13,800 with 1 mnth warranty and 30k miles. Does this sound about right??? Has a couple of seats in the back but ad says...

Right you are!

Cheers Yella.......... will avoid local garage for now then and definately a certain 4x4 garage off the dark moggy roundabout do you think??

My defender 90 needs the suspension bushes replacing as it shakes itself to pieces when you reverse off a curb or go over a speed hump. Is this a big job?? How much will I expect to pay for parts labour etc at a local garage. Any info greatly appreciated;)

THanks............ I will certainly get some new ones and go about botching up the re - fit (girly sigh) no problems with ebay either, I sold my Disco on it!!!!:cool:

I can get into my Defender by using just about any household key and even my finger nails :rolleyes: Is there any point changing the locks as I've heard it's a common issue?? Or should I get some sort of locking cubby for storing bits and pieces?? thanks

All a bit too close to home for me I'd be run out of the village no doubt! I know it's been refered to previously but is there an off road thing going in at Ty Croes circuit?

No - one chases you off then???

Think you're right, best to go at the top end. A lot of the land at the Crigyll end is privately owned upto the riverside by golfclub, caravan site and houses on the warren. That's why there are so many 'look outs' plus the coastal path people are planting dune grass and semi policing the area...

up for that rj - i can even tow you out..... when your disco breaks down. ( te he, harsh banter for a girl I know)

Will keep a look out for you then :cool:

I go on Cymyran beach quite a lot and have never seen any Landys on it. I can't see how you'd get in the sand dunes either as someone got an old 4x4 stuck up there a few summers ago. The front beach are now charging boats to launch off there so car on beach action is limited and all the access...

Where's that then?? All the exits at the bottom of Cymyran have been bollarded off so you cannot get back to the road via the bailey bridges or by the bottom of the caravan site.

Oh Bugger........... should've asked those testosterone filled Freelander types I suppose:D

Have a TD 5 which is a God to tow with but thirsty and a nightmare to park in town (yeah it's a bird posting). I use it to tow a horse trailer in and out of muddy fields and have to do frequent hill starts etc. Will the Freelander manage this on a regular basis or is it just too feeble...
