ok guys and galls yet another stupid question. just had my new rear parabolics arrive. they have a bolt through all of the springs in the centre but on one of the springs the bolt has been threaded and wont tighten, is this bolt used just to hold them together in transit or left in place when...

After a bit of help, again, had a mooch around to see if I could find any previous posts on how to remove the glass and runners from a mouldy old door top but can't find them anywhere. Has anybody got an idiot's guide on stripping door tops. Also, had a look at a few listings for door tops on...

thanks guys, its gone. i have my garage back.

anyone know where i could get hold of a very secure box to fit in the gap between the front seats and the rear bench seats on my s3(where the spare fits) like a 2 gun cabinet but "T" shaped so it would hold a rifle with a big scope on it.

ok so i got another landy today. took the head off and one of the pistons has an inprint on the top of it that looks like the swirl chamber has hit it, no other damage is apparent, any idea where to look for the cause of the fault first? it did run and sounded ok, but smoked like a bastard.

i feel that Series Rover owners are backward technology fearing anal anoraks, and i feel that Defender/Disco/RR owners are stuck up cel-phone heads who couldn't tell a lugnut from a macadamia nut.

right as some of you may know i have just changed the engine on my s3, when i send the v5 to dvla to have the engine number changed do i have to send the reciept for the engine with it or anything? are they going to be difficult or is this routine?

ok so after lots of faffing and asking stupid questions i have dismantled, checked and put the newish engine back together. ordered the clutch and engine hoist both available friday. but i have some more stupid questions. the replacement engine is from an early defender and different in some...

is the standard front bumper strong enough to fit a small winch (2ton) and a tow ball that i want to use to launch recover a small boat (680kg inc trailer)? or will i need to modify it? if so whats the best way to do this, keeping it looking as standard as poss?

I apologise for repeating some of the information I have posted in other threads but please if anybody is prepared can they offer me some clarity. 2.25 diesel is occasionally running on its own engine oil that's squirted out of the breather into the inlet manifold (over-running I think it's...
