    I would imagine he means a CO2 extinguisher, no oxygen = no combustion.

    recommend me a dash cam

    I use one of these: Welcome to BlackVue Far clearer image than most of them have and you can access the recordings wirelessly with a mobile or a tablet - also has the option of an extra camera at the rear which is pretty important.

    paddocks 08454 rip off

    The vast majority of companies will have a geographic number that the 0845 number is routed to however if you call the geographic number for larger companies you tend to get through to the wrong department as you will avoid their IVR system and will spend ages getting transferred through to the...

    wildtracks newmarket

    Probably a bit late for you now but it is a site that is definitely geared more towards a beginner, no real way to cause yourself damage and some quite challenging bits.

    Ignoring a road closed sign on flooded road

    That is a couple of miles from me - last year they had plastic barriers filled with water and someone took a drill to them so they could be moved which is why they moved to concrete this year. It is very frustrating as the council closes it at a drop of a hat even when the water is not even...

    Extreme 4x4 Detachable Tow Bar

    It is probably the route I will have to go down to be honest although I did want a quickly detachable one that you could remove without tools but there doesn't seem to be anything out there that complies with the new MOT laws.

    Extreme 4x4 Detachable Tow Bar

    Thanks M1Ck, do you not have problems with it not being plated with the new MOT regulations though? The testers around here seem to just love failing an old Land Rover on anything they can find (which to be fair is their job) and ideally if I was to spend the best part of £350 on a towing...

    Extreme 4x4 Detachable Tow Bar

    My 110 is from 1987. I just received a reply back from Extreme 4x4 who say that the above is sold as a recovery point not as a tow bar (despite them selling tow bars to attach to it) which is a bit of a shame. As I will need to look elsewhere what other detachable tow bars are the best?

    Extreme 4x4 Detachable Tow Bar

    Hello all, I did do a search but could not find anything specific answering this question. I am looking to buy one of these: Extreme 4x4 Ltd DEFENDER QUICKLY DETACHABLE RECOVERY POINTS It does not say it is type-approved which I hear is quite important for an MOT test these days and I don't...

    Any way to immobilise a 300tdi while moving?

    I fear that with the drafty nature of the vehicle the alarm would go off every 2 minutes otherwise I would get one.

    Any way to immobilise a 300tdi while moving?

    You're probably right but it is illegal to steal a vehicle also!

    Any way to immobilise a 300tdi while moving?

    Hello all, I am buying a GPS tracker that has a function to remotely cut the engine of a vehicle when you send a text message to it. My vehicle is a 1987 Defender 110 with a 300tdi engine swap - is there any way to electronically cut the engine in the same way you could do with a petrol? I...

    Split Charge Batteries

    Is there any actual difference between the yellow top Optima batteries and a caravan battery when it comes to needing a deep cycle battery for a split charge system. Caravan batteries seem to be much cheaper, do they handle the rough and tumble Defender environment well?

    A dedicated 4x4 channel on CB.

    For comparison the Voyager 1 spacecraft is currently at the time of writing 18,651,866,802 kilometers away from us and they use a 23 watt radio system to communicate with NASA back on Earth. :D

    Green laning in Sawtry, Peterborough

    A few miles away from there but close enough. There were some nice lanes but the problem is they are all so short as they are bisected by main roads which is a shame. Do you have anything decent out in Bedfordshire?
