Lmao - I do like mine for the extra light it gives in mine but like the guys say unless you dont mind getting a bit wet from time to time its prob not worth it... Altho I do get more water coming in from my dodgy door seals than the sunroof!!!

Cheers, I'll have a look then coz that'd be ideal for what I'd need anway (+ if the girlfriends nice to me I might even get some extra for the walls in the horses stable...)

I always thought that grunt wise the 200tdi was the best, then the 300tdi which traded off grunt for better/smoother driving and higher top speed then the Td5 which was even more road minded coz of its bmw heritage??? I might be wrong like but the couple of td5's I've driven never felt as...

Cool, didnt know you got thinner stable matting coz all the stuff I've found up here is the really thick stuff! Is that thinner stuff fairly easy to get a hold of online?

If you cant get a replacement key though you could always just do what I did in the end and use a chisel to get turning so you can get it off then replace the locking nuts with a new set that comes with a key!

Looks similar to the ones that were on mine when I got it altho mine had splines around the central bit aswell as the pegs. I got a key from paddocks for mine altho it seemed either cheaply made or to not quite fit right as the metal burst under the pressure of trying to loosen it off....

Like I said its not mine so I'll see what shes saying about it. That is sounding a lot better price wise tho, so she might be tempted - but at least until I've got my defender fixed again theres no way to get it down to you! Lol - at the moment except for the welding, the discos probably more...

Lol - something like that, I've got a 96 defender so getting oilys all part of the fun for me (although doesnt look like the mk2's going to be ready for the summer at this rate) Shes pretty gutted though coz she loved the disco but shes making do with the subaru forester I picked her up last...

Like the guys say harder for motorways A roads but it depends where your going? If your heading off the main roads and rough camping or trying to get somewhere with your bike, I'd go a bit softer myself especially since the snow and rain we've been gettings got everywhere I've been recently...

The girlfriends got a horse so I'm seriously considering the stable matting for the floor in the back of my 90. Its fecking heavy stuff though (about an inch thick of really dense rubber) so I'm prob going with cheap carpet over ply for the panelled sides maybe with some sound proofing in behind...

Cheers, I'm honestly not trying to spam, just looking for a good idea of its price as a whole coz like I said I've enough of my own projects on and feck all space to break it myself. + Shes just wanting rid herself so I cant see her wanting stuck with a bunch of oily spares round her flat. I'll...

Ouch thats never a good way to miss out on your project! I'd seriously thought about it myself but I've got a mk2 golf gti project thats on hold while I fix my mk4 golf & my defenders come out in sympathy and started making some suspicious squeaking and grumbling noises from the propshaft and...

Lol - like I said except for the chassis its not actually that rusty! 2 owners from new and the closest to offroad its been is a few unmade tracks up north

I'd have thought it'd be worth more than that just for someone to part out though? When my tdi head went last year I was spotting engines in way worse condition going for £350-400 let alone the gearbox, transferbox etc

Hi folks, my friend is currently thinking about selling her 1997 discovery 300tdi & I'm wondering how much she should be looking to get for it? As defender driver I know enough about the mechanical bits n bobs but havnt a clue about resale value! Its unfortunately going as spares or repair...

+ even then it was a fairly simple job to fix even to a relativly inexperienced DIY mechanic....

I'd say go for the 300tdi too - I've had my 90 for 2 and a half years and other than the water channels in my head blocking thanks to some 'tard over doing it with some instant gasket before I got it, its never missed a beat!

Ah, never mind - just spotted its all about the number of posts... Bugger really shouldve gibbered some more useless pish on here over the past few years

Hi & thanks for reading, I've been on here for a few years since I bought my 300tdi 90 and have found you guys and girls to be a helpful and amusing bunch of peeps! I'm wondering if any of you helpful folks could tell me why I can't manage to post an ad in the for sale section? & Before...

I vaguely remember seeing landrovers own maximum angles in my Dads old landy brochures from when I was younger so I did a quick search & they say 40 degrees is the steepest slope you can cross. Heres the link to the page I found them on factory recommended limits for driving a Land Rover...
