Cool ta!

Yep, know them well thanks! So am I to assume these won't fit straight on?

Hello people, I've been offered a set of rear shocks (surplus to requirements kind of thing) for cheap! but having done a few searches and gotten a bit of conflicting advice about what year shock mounts changed on the defender and things about chopping cups off brackets etc. I thought id just...

Mine did this and it was the wheel bearing as mentioned. It was obvious when jacked up, you could wobble the wheel.

As title really. Works out at £6 per litre but haynes lists castrol syntax but doesn't give any specs. to compare it to! Cheers! Lodexol SS 75W/90 Semi-Synthetic Gear Oil 5 litre Lubricants and Oils

my next door neighbour rents out a bit of garage space to a mobile mech. in coalbrookdale, i'll see if i can get his number when i get home for you. Seems a decent guy

Cheers. Just measured it s bit more accurately and got 240cm on one and 243 on the other which gives me 1.2% ish. Going to be doing all 4 I think now as theres some tread but too road biased for where im starting to get out to!

If they are black you could use some wd40 brings them up quite nicely. Though you will have to keep using it as it fades in the weather.

Sorry guys. I'm having to use my phone at the min. And the search doesnt want to work. I've had to pick up a part worn tyre as I cant get one new until it gets delivered to the place im getting it from. My spare was dead too. The tyre I have works out to be just under 2% different in rolling...

I had a similar problem on an old non rover car. Turns out the bulb was slightly shorter though of the correct type. All I did was bend up the bottom connector so that it put more pressure on the bulb. Might be worth checking?

Many thanks for the reply! I went to a different place and got a tyre fitted. Ifeally id like to put 235's on but one tyre was cheaper than 4! It has the old rrc wheels I believe at the minute. Think I may get modulars so I dont need tubes eventually.

Hello all, i've searched but not found anything yet that helps me. I had a blow out on the defender which is running 265/75/16 tyres on a 6.5" rim with a tube. I went to get a replacement and was told that it was illegal to have this set up and the shop (an indy. land rover specialist) refused...

hehe, another taggy (ie)! sorry got nothing to add other than that!:p

cheers. i used to have a series 3 so know where to look for rust etc. it seems pretty tidy other than old underseal all i could see else was a bit of rust on the tank protector and the springs. its being mot'd today so will see if it raises anything i couldnt reach!

cheers, I looked at similar age and mileage and it seems a decent price i think.It has side step/sliders but thats about it. tyres are a/t coopers I think. does need a new seal for vent, but thats about it i think. Cant do a pic at work, blocks the photo sites! I'll have a go later! thanks! Taggy

Hello all! I've been on here for a while but after having to sell the series 3 while the little one was...well...little, I have popped in every so often and have now decided to get a 90 to go along with my new job. Theres one for sale locally,1999 td5 done 45k miles and has a good straight...

glad the AA man fixed it enough to get home! Mate of mine had an AA man spend two hours trying to get the landy started, he checked the spark on the plugs, but put the leads back on in the wrong order, spent two hours scratchin his head then declared he couldn't fix it. think half of that time...

mine was similar when i had it, we were moving to a new site at the time so i took the landy to collect all the paper/art stuff. filled it up with LOTS of paper etc and went over the speed humps a couple of times, everything got a lot better after that! get a few mates in the back and when their...

i had this with mine, rears should be 10inch, fronts on later ones went to 11 inch but not sure when! i got the 'top' of the drum on as far as i could while pushing down onto the shoes and worked the bottom half on then gave it a good kick and they popped right on! i guess i used the drum to...

In one of the shooting mags recently there was a letter from a guy who did deer control on FC land, apparently its on a bidding system and he lost it due to another bid, not sure how it works but I guess the deer are suposed to be controlled and could cause havoc in the FC land and that's why it...
