In a similar line to @300bhp/ton some more information about your vehicle (engine, gearbox's, body type etc) and some pictures (everyone likes pictures) might help with recommendations. If it is as it left the factory the advice is very different...

If the vehicle is in top mechanical order then in terms of upgrades I would start with security. Make sure you have a good steering lock, and good pedal/clutch lock. You can fit window grills but I didn't bother as unless you fit them to all...

Whatever you decide on .. K.I.S.S :rolleyes:

Get some pipe wrap for your rear window.

All of the upper body panels other than the bulkhead (firewall, part the dash/pedals mounts to) is aluminium. the bulkhead and chassis are steel and will rust. The bubbling is likely to be oxidisation which creates white powder and does...

It depends what sort of overlanding you plan on doing, where you plan on going, and if you are going to use the vehicle for anything else. What you need for heading to the extreme north is very different to heading down through Africa. If you...

If that is the case why are so many of them so easily stolen? Local land rover specialist said current JLR are one of the easiest cars available to steal and recommended the extra precautions hence it falling to me to find out more.

The mother in law has just bought a disco 5 to replace her early disco 4 and is now worried about security on it as several land rover have been stolen form her village recently in car key burglaries. I know this will have been asked before but I...

Could you not just increase the adjustment either by adding additional threads down the rod or making a longer rod if it needs to go the other way? From what you have said the latch mechanism works as it should

I would always suggest second hand for a roof rack, they are far more expensive than they should be and prices have gone up for the second hand ones as well. However, I would really ask yourself if you need one. If you are planning on camping and...

One thing I found is if the bulb was loose in the holder due to poor tolerances a couple of well place matchstick would solve the issue.

This was also my experience before swapping to LED. I treated them as disposable and when a bulb blew replaced the whole unit for fractionally more than just new bulb! Fog lights were the worst for it and required a good strip and clean before...

I believe these work by varying the resistance to earth, so it may be worth checking and cleaning the rear earth connectors onto the sender etc. and potentially the dash earths as well although do not think the gauge earths through the dash end...

I looks to me like it should all disconnect. The reverse light should just be on a bullet connector. You are aware that the black rubber tubes are just a Lucas double female bullet connecter that the wire on each side will pull out of...

Depending on where you actually need the feed you may be better taking it off the switch on the gearbox. But it depends if it picks it up at the camera or the screen end.

I dont think you will find Land Rover made wheels to fit what you are looking for. The steel options were either the standard or Hd version. And the alloys were not for “commercial” use. Special vehicles used modular wheels for the power company...

Never worry about tyres in the forestry industry. Some logger will always pull you out.(oh they were pulling you into the woods that day, loading you & dragging you back)

Unfortunately without sitting and meticulously researching the offset of each different style of wheel i don’t think there is any other way of doing it. I run 8” width modular steels on my 110 that with a quick google look to have an offset of...

Fitting 18" wheels fall into this category, just poor taste and judgement being displayed to even consider such a choice! On a more serious and practical note it also means that you will either get a larger diameter wheel tyre combo overall...

If you are paying to have the work done I would not bother personally. As said above you at least double the labour maybe more if the floor needs to come up as well. Unless your clutch is showing sings of being on the way out, or the seal is...

Is it definitely not salvageable? Your situation is not the same as mine but when I had the engine fire (thread LINK) the insurance tick box wrote it off as a cat B (can only be broken for parts by an authorised dealer) but with a couple of...

Couple of more extreme suggestions that go in the opposite direction of what lots of others do with there vehicles. If you revert back to the series/military style doors you gain about 100mm of additional width each side in cabin space. You loose...

I have driven down to and around Morocco twice which includes the 1500miles trip to Algeciras to get the ferry. I did this in my 200tdi 110, so yours will be far more comfortable at motorway speeds than mine was as a starting point. I would...

You would be amazed what a lick of paint can do. The drivers wing I fitted during my rebuild after the fire (original melted) was very much a farmers wing and I knocked the dents out as best as I could and then painted it and fitted. It look...

I have done a few wings, It depends on the finish you are going for as to if it is worth the effort. In a show room truck then it is not work the effort as unless you have some serious skills, you will be riveting back together all the spotwelds...

Are you talking about the box, mounted to the chassis, or the pump mounted to the engine? Either way @Anaconda advice of being fairly logical when you look at is is correct. For both you start by removing the pipe work. For the pump, it is...

Depends what generation, I thought they liked to split in half where the water runs down between the cab and the bed and rusts the chassis away at that point :eek:

And one more thought ... Several of you chimed in to say you would work really hard on some kind of bodge before pulling the engine and swapping the crank. This was helpful advice because I was actually starting down the road of pulling the...

This one ^^ If it is a discovery tdi in a pre tdi “defender” the. The gauge will read in the red hot at normal operating temperature. You used to Get conversion sender to match to the gauge as suggested above from Steve Parker’s. I am sure...

Even if it is a non structural one it will Still leave the bolt Holes in body work. Things like that once fitted are best left fitted as they take a huge amount of work to remove and put back original otherwise. Also if it is a proper to the...
