    Mantec v Rebel4x4 Snorkel

    Paddocks do a very solid guard for around £40.I've had mine balancing on it no problem. PM609 | Defender Steering Guard - Galvanised Steel RHD Mine is the same but with eyes. I think that's £42.

    Woolly Clutch

    I had a problem with my slave cylinder. Basically it wasn't retracting all the way in. It was causing my clutch to slip. The pedal felt how you described.

    Front parking sensors on Disco 3

    If it never had them then you would have to get them turned on by a dealer even if you got a new bumper with them in. The fact you have the button would seem to suggest you had them at some point because I've only got one button. The simple answer is just look where you're going like I do. Even...

    Snow??

    A tiny tiny bit out in the peaks but none where I am. Saw some on a grass verge in hathersage today. I had about 30 seconds of the most pathetic snow yesterday but that's it.

    really need help diagnosing the problem!!

    Most likely bent pushrods but you'll need to strip the engine either way. If they are bent, the valves won't open so obviously no fuel can get in. If you're lucky it will just be bent pushrods. I don't know enough to give you a certain answer, I've only ever changed pushrods once on a defender...

    driving tro'd lanes

    Well then the question is who pays if a shackle goes flying through someone's windscreen/head?

    First car?

    My answer is yes. You're looking at at least £2000 to insure one fully comp and not a lot of places will take you. A series is a fair bit cheaper but I wanted a 90 so I got one.

    driving tro'd lanes

    I don't think there is any debate as to whether any of us have ever gone anywhere we shouldn't have before. We ALL have, whether it was intentional or not. We might not even know we've done it. The difference is we made that choice ourselves. If you've paid a company you don't expect to be going...

    Discovery Rear ended by a 56plate 3 series BMW

    He'd have been sat there until the police came and I'd have made sure my car was looked at by the insurance too if it was me.

    driving tro'd lanes

    It's shut for 6 months from last october and could be extended as there is no money to pay for repairs at this time.

    200tdi exhaust box question.

    The way yours is is how mine was and it is too low in my opinion. I knocked it off a few times. The solution is to just chop it out like I have.

    Defender TD5 fogs

    You have 2 options. You can either take a live from the fusebox to dashboard switch and then straight to the lights or you can take a live from the full beam and use that to operate a fused relay. You then need a live from the fusebox to the relay. Then go from the relay to the lights in...

    Need More Ground Clearance, Bigger Wheels

    My 285s are nearly 35 inches tall :rolleyes: I think a lot depends on the make of the tyre. My maxxis tyres are taller and slightly thinner than other tyres that are supposedly the same size.

    changing t-box

    Well he's a nob then. I've done every one I've ever done like that. It's much easier with 2 people because you need to tilt it slightly to get it through the hole but I just shout my grandad out to let the hoist down for me. If I had a ramp I'm sure it would be easier to take it down on a...

    Off the shelf exhaust kits

    I think people would buy it. I did the same thing but I built mine as I went by chopping up a discovery exhaust and using the bends. I almost made a few and sold them while I was at it but I never bothered. I have only ever seen one on ebay. I think it's a good idea but the question is how...
