Hi everyone, I’ve got my eye on a Series IIa which has recently been restored. During the restore, the chap fitted a ‘soft-top front seat belt bar‘, to enable inertia reel seat belts to be fitted. If I buy it, I’d like to return it back to original. Can I please ask a favour? Would someone...

Hi everyone, I’ve just been caught speeding on the M20 in my 2006 Defender TD5. I was doing 50mph in a 40mph zone. Found it a touch puzzling that I was a full 10mph over so decided to test my speedo reading. I used a GPS device and a friend’s new Mercedes to triangulate. It turns out my...

Hi everyone, I’m looking to insure my 21 year old son on my Defender 90. A few years ago, the NFU used to insure young drivers, but not anymore. Any ideas who might insure him for a reasonable price? Much appreciated.

Hi everyone, I need to insure my Defender as a 2nd car - as my no-claims in on my main car. Now the complication - I need to include my 21 year old son on the Defender Insurance. He’s got 2 years no-claims, but is now at University and no longer owns a car. The Defender is a 2006 TD5 Ragtop...

Hi there, I'm looking to install a Rover V8 in my Series 2A. There is lots of good advice on how to convert inc. specialist kits, but I'm looking for a full turn-key conversion service. Does anyone know of a professional outfit who could do the job - preferably a specialist who has done lots...

Hi everyone, Can anyone recommend a reversing camera kit please? I'm not very handy, so am looking for a full kit i.e camera, screen and wiring. I've got a soft top, with limited visibility, and have just had a near miss when reversing in a car park. Any help appreciated. Cheers

Hi fellas, I finished my Truck Cab to Soft Top conversion in March this year and I'm starting to get the heebie jeebies about freezing my bits off as winter approaches. The soft top is a pretty decent fit, but certainly not air tight or even completely water tight...as a recent trip to an...

Chaps, I've just completed the re-build of my '90 Soft Top (see below) using the Exmoor Trim XS hood and Safety Devices NAS style roll cage; It's been a brimmin lot of work and cost twice what I'd originally budgeted :eek: Anyway, I'm getting a lot of flapping and a lot of noise from...

Hi fellas, I'm in the final stages of an Exmoor soft top conversion....but I'm stuck. The problem is that the tension on the hood wants to keep pulling the windscreen back....making it impossible to create enough of a gap to fit the doors!!!! This isn't helped by the fact that the windscreen...

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if the stick-out air con grille frame will fit a 2006 non-air-con 90 TD5 Defender without major modifications? Also any thoughts on Britpart parts vs genuine Land Rover. The Britpart grille frame is £140 vs £205 (ouch) for the LR part....from LR Direct (part no...

Hi everyone, I've decided to take the plunge and have my Defender 90 Truck Cab re-sprayed. I also want to change the colour, so am looking for someone who has plenty of experience in painting Defenders in the Kent area. I've searched thru previous posts, but can't find any recommendations so...

Chaps, My new pride and joy arrives in a weeks time; it's a 2006 Defender TD5 Pick up with approx 122 bhp (well it was supposedly when it left the factory :D). I'm thinking about having a Stage 1 or Stage 2 engine tune by IRB - they look like good blokes and they seem to get good feedback on...

Hi everyone, Just bought my very first Defender - it's a 2006 TD5 Pick-up in a lovely shade of green, with a few bumps and scrapes....which of course add to the character:) My boys and I are keen Carp fishermen and we needed a decent load space....so it had to be a Defender!! Anyway, I'd like...

Hi Everyone, I'm looking to buy my first Defender 90, but am very keen on grey [previously had a gun-metal grey Disco and love the colour]. Does anyone know: 1. When grey was introduced for 90's? - or, 2. Is it easy to change colours [via a respray] - tho not keen to have a...
