I should buy one. I've got the removable steering wheel, but not the lock. I never really understand why the orange bits come up for sale separately, but they do (sometimes) Anyone want to flog me one? I wouldn't mind the storage mount also, but I can spin a pair of them up on the lathe...

Wanted: Pair of 88" van sides, with small rear windows only (no side windows) I don't care about the paint job at all, but I'd like the metal to be reasonable. I'm at J27 on the M5 (tiverton area) - anyone got a pair close-ish? They seem to be on ebay up north all the time! Picture...

My usual go-to supplier's website isn't working, at least not for me. Is it just me, or is it broke for everyone? Eg - https://www.island-4x4.co.uk/check-strap-channel-britpart-mwc5018-p-24657.html (google is still giving hits but when I click on it it's just nonsense server stuff)

Some L reg 200s at the end of the cycle had disc brakes on the rear. Were the very first 300s only m reg, or were there any before August 1994? What about the r380? I'm guessing none of them were ever fitted to 200s, so would have been linked (in time) to the 300, right? My own factory 300...

I have a 110 csw. The rear (side) windows are close to useless for a variety of reasons. I'd rather they were not there. I'm aware that 88" sides can be used to replace the whole panel with limited bother, but do I have any options for internal trim? There were (I think) some factory 5...

If I want to fit wiring conduit between the door and the a post, I'd use this part - But.. holes? Is there a template about or do I have to make it up as I go along? Thank you.

I need a new latch for my csw rear door. May as well get one with central locking bar... Two part numbers, different pricing, can't tell the difference. I think they both need the 20mm barrel. Anyone know what's what? Thank you.

Lots of people seem to have various eberspacher / webasto / Ali express heaters on their defenders. Where is the inlet and exhaust normally mounted? They have little silencers, right? Are they used? Thank you

Anyone got any smart ideas about dealing with this? You can see ive given it a fair whacking (after days of GT85) and still no rotation. Currently wondering about TIG'ing some box across the top of it and levering it around that way. Normally the heat from the weld breaks the corrosion bond...

I posted this on facebook, and got the usual drivel, so appologies if you have seen it prior! I'm gradually chopping up my 300tdi disco. I want to keep some parts for myself, some are not worth keeping, and some are good. If you're looking for doors or body panels then they are all without...

I've got a 300 TDI disco. I've had it for years, and it's stuffed now. Chasiss beyond sensible repair. Inner wings going etc.etc. It's got loads of faults. I mean it still drives but synchro is going on 1st to second, the steering box requires a pre-mot wash etc etc. I was intending to...

I bought a Richards chassis at the weekend, private sale (abandoned project) It came with both the gearbox and mid cross members, but I've previously replaced the mid on mine, so wont ever need the one that came with the chassis. £50 seems fair. YRM ones are about £100, but are easier to fit...

Ive picked up a replacement manifold for the FL2. Non-swirl version, both as a safeguard, and in ever more drastic steps to get to the bottom of the intermittent limp issue. Im more of a 300tdi person, and dont really like plastic cars at all, but needs must - How long is it likely to take...

My 101 was up for renewal today. I'm old enough etc that my insurance has pretty much levelled out on the other cars anyway but you always expect an insurance company to milk it a bit. My a-plan renewal price was a quid less than last year, without any discussion at all - that's simply what...

I have a 300 on the garage floor. I pulled it from a disco that had been retired due to chasiss rot. I only drove the vehical onto the trailer, nothing more - unknown condition but still had the egr connected, so probably not hugely messed with. I'll never refit it as is. What I'm wondering...

Got an early FL2. Goes to "reduced engine performance" with no discernable error logged (I mean, sure, it must log somthing but neither I, nor any others, have been able to determine what) Been doing it periodically for years. Generally when it's been driving for a good amount of time and...

Is the defender 300 heater any worse than that on the 300 disco? I've owned a 300 disco for years. Over 10 I guess. In the disco, I've never thought "wow, it's so cold in here, I wish I had a better heater". I've finally got my 110 it's first MOT pass since 2015. I have a couple of those...

I've just swapped the flanges on the rear axle of my 300tdi 110. There was a fair bit of rotational play. The new flanges have reduced it to about 1/3 of what it was, but (subjectively I know) it still seems to be more than I hoped would remain. The shaft splines neither look nor feel...

Ok, so classic "running when last run" - Disco was parked up for about 18 months. Vermin nested in the air filter. I assume they urinated down the inlet duct and now I have this - The engine still runs, just not above 2000rpm. Is this a scrapper, or do things like this come back from...

As per title. I cant really see why anyone would be removing one, as they leave holes all over the vehicle, but, worth a few moments creating a "wanted" post, maybe? Thank you.
