I've got the middle seat from the front facing foreward in mine with a proper seat belt using land rover brackets the same as what's in the front. You could fit 2 of those in side by side easily but you'd need to make something for them to sit on like I have. If I remember rightly, middle seats...

To be honest I work on the principle that it's only doing it's job. Get in, radio on full blast (on full it's 140 amps but obviously its only maybe 10 or 20 when I'm on my own) and turn the key. Starts instantly, all day, every day. It's a machine created to be driven by people who view it as a...

Seen it all go tits up before when someone drifted a rangie then it dug in after a few yards and rolled over.

I'd get it sorted soon because by the sounds of it, one day you'll go to turn it off and it will carry on going and then speed up and explode in a big cloud of smoke.

No need, it's dirty enough as it is.

I didn't, it might have been buster. It's just floor out, seats out, seatbox out and then take the check strap off the door and open it. Props off. Put a jack under the sump to keep the engine still. Engine hoist through the door and onto the gearbox and then undo the bell housing and lift...

I got up in the end after sliding back to the bottom and having a 30mph run up.

I've failed to get up the gentlest slope before on wet grass on mud terrains. It's the worst surface.

Heated window, interior lights (down is off, middle is on with door, up is on) and hazzards. If I remember rightly not all fenders had heated windows but it doesn't take a genius to figure out if it has.

Oh and as for the cost I went for the biggest and heaviest clutch and spring I could find along with a heavy duty release bearing. Think it cost about £70 to £80 total. Never even phoned a garage but if I remember rightly when the new disco needed a clutch and flywheel it cost around £700/£800...

A good garage could easily do it in half a day. The first one I ever did took me 5 days working for a couple of hours on my drive when I got home each night. I'd say maybe 8 hours total. I took the seats out and lifted the box complete with the transfer box up into the cab and then out of the...

if not threadlock could work. Obviously not permanent stuff.

If you're 5ft 2 you wouldn't be able to lift the bonnet up anyway.

It was taking ages to load so I pressed it again :)

When was the last time you saw a scrapped defender?

Anti stall is a genius invention when going uphill but a gut wrenching feeling as you go downhill and it suddenly decides to speed up on its own for 10 yards then slam the anchors on.

Get a booster seat :rolleyes:

Get some filler on it. I sanded my bonnet back to metal and then filled all the dints and basically skimmed it with filler. Sanded it back with an orbital and it looks like brand new. I'm well impressed. Did the same thing to my back door to remove the wheel carrier but I put rivets in all the...

A grammar check will but not in the form "to keep the peace/piece" where both make sense.
