Nice one cheers I’ll take a look

Cheers! Very happy with how they turned out. Very well so far. Nice and bright, havnt had them fog up yet. Quality seems good and recently passed an MOT. Heres a link - https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzsXd75

Guards look very good! How are you getting on with them headlights I’m looking into get a pair ?

Looks great mate. It’s like a sister version of the dcpu isn’t it. Same feel

Thank you! Thats what im trying to do, just better, cleaner with a few upgrades. 😁 Fitted the front and side lightguards I fabricated a couple weeks ago. Im very happy with the outcome If I did make them again I would make a couple tweaks...

Buy a new complete one. Easier than pressing the old joint out.

100% just not worth it.

Mine was so seized in place I had to use a trolley jack pushing a crobar to dislodge the a frame from the axle. Bolts on the arm to the A frame would not come undone even with heat + 1500nm buzz gun. So grinder. Get new bolts The 3 into the...

First time since I bought it. A proper clean! Underneath, inside and outside. Took ALL DAY 🤣 got quite alot of the scratches out. Quick polish too Exhaust pic 😀

Or grease will do. All youre trying to do is keep the temp down!

Thats fairly decent for an auto! Often seem them in the mid to high teens. My 110 around town returns abour 20 - 24mpg, heavily tuned but mway driving 28 - 32

Same. Not really a thing in the UK. Older land rovers are very easy to work on and fairly difficult to get things wrong in terms of fitting suspension. End of the day the front end is only 3 bolts (think) to change a front damper and spring on a...

You can get Defender AC Condensors off ebay for £120 + a 15" fan for how ever much you want to spend, I went for Spal for £80. Why do you want to avoid the the AC grill? Can often be had for £50 look much better imo! You can tap stainless use...

Forgot to add... Just waiting on a few bits to arrive. Normally closed pneumatic solenoid, dont trust the alliexpress one to actually last 😅 Will mount it in engine bay on the bulkhead Also got some stainless steel braided sleeve. I can run...

Finished all the welding on the exhaust! Sounds bloody brilliant!! 😄😄😄😄 Also forgot how much exhaust noise is actually taken out by the VNT so its perfectly acceptable to drive around in ASBO mode 😂 normally. From the drivers perspective 😅 On...

not for road.....you ever tried walking in football boots on pavement? you gonna end up in a ditch....Nuff said. £450? :):):D seems expensive....hope it includes the speakers...

The tread pattern. Very loud, very noisy, bad in the wet, bad on tarmac. Just generally awful on the road. If you want mixed use the any all terrain or something like Toyo MTs. What is the use of the landy?

What about them? For just off road use then yeah great. Road use lord no, mixed use also no.

Rocker cover bolts are fine to reuse. Need a dab of RTV around the halfmoon on the rear.

Yup that'll do it!!

I'll pull the old one to bits and post some pics once I've got the new one on. Suspect the bore must be shot / heavy rust / pitting on the cylinder. I'm pretty sure I cheaped out when I bought the rear calipers way back when I refurbished the...

Jesus! Deffo need anew caliper!!

Then it wont make much of a difference at all.

Have you got a cat fitted? Try sitting at 70 for 3 hours. They make a huge difference.

😅😅😅 cheers man. Happy to help! If you use button heads get A4-80 I always find the A2 ones round off very easily! And always run a tap thru the rivnut after!

Yeaaah glad they arrived! Id use countersunk rivnuts on the sides gives a nicer flatter fit!

Just took delivery of my stainless repeater guards from "Bankzworx" 😁 Superb!

Looking the bollox mate, loving the fabrication as well 👌🏻

Day off? I guess well I was still a work... Started on the valved exhaust! Not the easiest thing to make ALOT of rolling under and checking, even though I was using the original midbox as a template. I know 90° bends arnt exactly ideal...

Yeah absolutely love it driving it. Just feels so much more enjoyable than the D2!
