    Dog guard Umbrella/ Gun Rack

    Just wondered if many of you use these? They appear to attach to the dog guard and hold guns or umbrellas. https://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/374001/53/gun_rack_dog_guard_mounted In particular I’m keen to know if they are big enough to hold a shotgun in its slip, or are the hooks too...

    New defender picture

    Just saw this and tbh it’s way better than the mock ups that have been being driven around however it’s still pretty disappointing. With such big boots to fill I was hoping that landrover with their sort of design budget would have been able to muster something with a bit more than a faint...

    Range Rover L322 2002 - MOT 02/18 - Good condition - £3000

    Hi all, Haven't posted here for a bit, but my mother has been twisting my arm to sell my Father's old rangie. I've got it on ebay at the moment, and she's not asking for much even considering it's short comings. We've had alot of interest and £2500 by a few breakers, but it's much better than...

    Power drop off on hills

    I’m sure it’s something less sinister than this as others have suggested but you are describing identical symptoms to what I had in an old 300tdi disco for about 2 or 3 months before the head gasket blew. I noticed a fairly subtle drop in power one day on hills and then it became gradually worse...

    How long should a TD5 pump prime for?

    Hi all, I’ve just got a TD5 and it can be a bit of lazy starter particularly when cold. I know fuel pumps are a weakness on td5s and the fuel level was very low when I bought it so wondering if there’s just a bit of crud in the pump (it’s since done 150 miles on fresh fuel). I’ve looked at the...

    Finally bought one.

    Well it's my 6th landy. (Previously had 2 tdi discos, 2 s3's, 1 defender 110 200tdi, and now this after driving a VW T5 for a few years). It's a 2004 td5 and seems to be in decent nick, and really original condition. It feels like a real novelty that it has electric windows, and air con. The...

    Something fell off...

    I'm just guessing but thought maybe its some bracketry from the engine bay, or slam panel if it's been painted body colour? Certainly the shape of it does look look like a lifting point, so if it's just the bracket that's red (and your defender is a different colour), then I'd say it's...

    Defender differences

    Although not visible I definitely noticed the bonnet on the td5 is wafer thin compared to 200tdi, and probably 300tdi, and it's much lighter too... I wonder when they stopped offering the wheel on the bonnet as an option. I'm guessing with the intro of the td5, but the bonnet when lifted has...

    Defender buying

    Right, I know it's been a while but just to add a bit of a conclusion to this thread... ...I have bought a defender! After well over two months of umming and arring, and searching ebay daily it was inevitable that I would fall in love for a second time with the defender. D3's just...

    Defender buying

    It's a tough choice. I must admit 110s sw's seem to be a lot fewer, and I can definitely see their advantages. Thinking back to my series 3 swb the back was pretty useless. As it's just a big square. Not ideal for carrying stuff as you have to pile it up high and nothing is ever handy to get at...

    Defender buying

    Haha if money was no option I would. I must admit I never really liked 90s and always thought they looked a bit out of proportion. My 110 was pretty much my dream defender, but as much as I preferred its looks, I only ever used the cab space, and the rear area so it always seemed large and...

    Defender buying

    Hi all, I've knocked around here for some time now and have dipped in and out of landy ownership throughout that time having had no less than two series 3's, two disco tdi's and a defender. The last was the 1992 110 which I sold around the time defenders stopped being manufactured and somebody...

    Discovery 3? Any good?

    It’s been a week or two since I last posted but I’ve been looking every day. I’ve been dead set on autos and my budget has been creeping up as I’ve been looking for one with less than 120k on the clock. There’s a few that look good, but one has come up locally which has 85k on the clock. It’s a...

    Discovery 3? Any good?

    Great advice so cheers boys! There's a couple I'm looking at now, the second one I may be able to get for a little more than 6k. It's got 128k on the clock but as with the other one it's had the belt done and is immaculate. I'm not sure about the oil pump cover I would have to check. One of them...

    Discovery 3? Any good?

    The latest I'm looking at is in good nick with the specs that appeal to me (auto, leather interior, satnav, tdv6), its got 100k on the clock and has got proof of a cambelt change so looks good. It's really stretching the budget at around 7.5k but seems like that might be money well spent vs. a...

    Discovery 3? Any good?

    That does sound a lot, but over what time period is that? If it's twelve months I think I might be bighting off more than I can chew. If it's 3 years then probably not too bad. All the landys I've owned have cost a bomb to maintain. I think the defender cost me a clutch, two tyres, brake discs...

    Discovery 3? Any good?

    I read that for lpg they should have different valves. I’m guessing it is a switched system so I could just run it without lpg but then more expensive and the damage is likely done. It was apparently a Prinns conversion. I don’t know if that means anything or is a good or bad thing. It’s...
