Looks well up to the job to me

For once!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Should do a cull on the royals, put all there money back into hospitals, care homes & how many homelessness people could you get into that auld palace. No need for all there estates, policing armed response protection, bullet proof vehicles...

If it is not staining the air filter then do not worry.

Hello Hive! Looking to pick your brains! I've recently acquired a 2004 Defender TD5 and a few days after purchase it is no longer starting. It tries to start, but never catches. I'm worked on cars previously but far from a mechanic so apologies...

Funny I was thinking the same but decided to read on before posting. :D

Sorry, i didn't see that last bit, must still have brake fluid in my eyes 🤣 It's 1996 300tdi

That is why I was asking about year. In 1980 Land rover said they were going metric and some stuff was but not all. Now for some reason My 1990 Ninety has imperial brake fittings [I have owned it from near new so no one has cobbled it] Why ? when...

I dont think thats the law in Scotland, im sure its banned to catch birds in glue traps & larsen traps need to be registered.

Ok thanks. I’ll do some Googling!

Hi Everyone My Defender has 300tdi conversion possibly engine from a Discovery. I took off the air filter housing for a cleanup and started the vehicle to check something else and noticed that bit of water was coming out of the crankcase breather...

And as I found the first time I made a pipe, remember to slide on the unions before making the second flare 🤪

Powder coat seems to be the way to go. Remember to either go for black centre caps or get them colour matched.

Oh no!!

How you getting on? Dippybud is referring to the end of sill to bottom of wheel arch tie in panel, it’s a bit t of a fiddle to make. Froggats sell them. I was jammy and picked two up second hand that never got used. You tie them in at bottom of...

Thank you both, and i take it i need to get the metric m10 x 1 fittings?

Pretty basic stuff, have a look at the You tube. Several video's on "how to" also showing the different kits available. Good one's by Britannica restorations ltd. As above do some free practice before making actual ones. What year is your Landy?

Approved! +2 🙌

Hi all. I have a p38 that was imported into the country from Japan some time ago. It's a 4.0 petrol. It looks like clocks with close-to equivalent miles/km was fitted on imporr (mot miles to km adds up) but it's a diesel binnacle so the rev...

A lot of the brackets bolt onto the chassis so not really a modification Gutters on a landy do bend so just keep an eye on the fixing points

Small update: polarity doesn't seem to matter on the new horns. They're not that loud though.

It'll be fine with the bonnet up.

Cannot see your location. Anywhere near Bucks?

🤣

Thanks for the replies. I'm not too keen on black tbh. Maybe I'm best sticking with the standard silver

So as always, you try and fix you defender and break something else. Todays job was to replace the bushes in the in the front of the a frame and while undoing one of the bolts, i squashed the brake pipe with my spanner giving me a nice shower...

Fixed

I don't remember having to do this very often in a steady relationshship, or even in an unsteady one!;)🤣

I didn't like tension clips until, I got the tool to release them, the cable type for difficult to access ones.

Not by much though
