    How much weight can I carry

    A friend who wants me to move a number of loads of clay a distance of 40 miles has told me my Defender td5 has the capacity to pull 3.5 tons at a time. As I have just got a new clutch fitted, I was wondering if it would be foolish to oblige him. Any ideas?

    hand brake loose

    I jerked the hand brake too tightly and it snapped:mad: . I removed the cover on the handbrake to discover the cable was still attached, so the fault must be further down. Any ideas on how to fix it:confused:

    prior to using a drill on my defender I disconnected the battery. When I reconnected I noticed an extra connection beside the positive terminal which looked as if it would fit snugly on the positive terminal.

    following an off road jaunt through bracken and bumpy bits I noticed a rubber tube (maybe a quarter of an inch thick and hollow)hanging down from the rear axle onto the ground. It originated on the top of the round bar to the left of the rear axle (looking at it from the back). It ends with a 90...

    Rear view problems

    Thanks to Terry 01, Odenne, Hughesy and Treworgey 90. Will look closer at Terrys photos, try Odennes 3 positions, check out Treworgey 90's side mirror and if they fall fail resign myself to Hughesy's philosophical view and try having fun with my clothes off in the landy. Thanks again, appreciate...
