Yeah, I went for the same ones too, it was getting complicated trying to find the right ones so just got two of the same and hopefully that should work fine.
Oh god, it sounds expensive lol
I can do the clutch in a day myself on the driveway so would expect a garage to take less time, but it is a long job expensive job if you are paying someone to do it. A lot of it will depend on how easily everything comes apart. Mine is nice and easy as over time I have replaced most fixing with stainless and always grease on reassembly. If it has not been apart for years and everything is rusty it will take longer and require more replacement fixings and parts on refitting.
I have absolutely no idea what's under there, I have had chance to look as it's not parked at my place at the moment. Even if I did have a chance to look, I wouldn't know what I'd be looking at anyway
Where is reverse on your gear box. If it is up by first gear it is an lt77 if is down by 5th is is an r380. If it is a 6 speed box it is far to new for me be bothering with
. They are just different models of gearbox fitted to the vehicle at various times through production.
Ahhh cheers Dag, mine is up by first, which causes a few issues for people behind me at traffic lights, as they hold their breath when I get it wrong some times hahaha.Where is reverse on your gear box.

You don't want alloys anyway. They are for people that like to pose around town. Proper land rovers have steels! incidently mine are the same as yours, nothing wrong with them at all.Also just learnt that I can't put the boost alloys on without bloody spacers....annoying, as i just assumed they fitted any Defender., so off I went and bought some without checking.
Yours look so much better though for some reason... They look wider and deeper or is that just the different tyres it has on that make it look like that?
Ignore the profile pick that is back when I was young and foolish running a 4" lift with 35"x12.5"15" tyres fitted to deepdish 10" rims. I am now back to standard height suspension running 8" modulars and 265/75/16.
That is the Erg Chbbi dunes in the south east of Morocco near the Algerian border. I have been twice now, both time organised by ourselves rather than paying for a guide.
or the utility company (western power, eon, etc) as your inspiration rather than Kahn
I do get what you're saying and I am in two minds. I do like the original, proper Off roading, old school look of the camel trophy Landy but also quite like the look of the newer ones... Maybe not as far as the Kahn models.... Anyway, my pockets aren't that deep for all those fancy upgrades. And what's the point of a show pony on the outside but it still drives like a farm tracker lol.That is the Erg Chbbi dunes in the south east of Morocco near the Algerian border.

But the point was the steel wheels are much more in keeping with a utility biased vehicle (van sides, galv cage roof rack, mushroom snorkel) than alloys. If you had all the tubular addons, a two tone metallic paint job, and angel eye led light kit you may get away with alloys, but that whole package is not for me! Look at the camel trophy land rovers
Thanks Lurk, I hope it makes a big difference, as like you say, it does chuck you around a bit, even just driving on normal roads lol
