    Best Jack?

    just don't look after it and treat it like ****. treat em mean, keep em keen. the jack will do what ever you want when ever you tell it! buy a trolley jack then, fine unless you off road it or need to lift the landy high. 4ft is fine too, but the extra ft comes in useful if using as a winch...

    anything is dangerous if used wrong. if you don't let of the handle at a stupid time it won't smash your teeth.

    how is it dangerous unless you are a funkin idiot!axle stands are dangerous too if you dont use them right and lay under the car so is a gun. use it right and its fine.

    bit of a lean on

    do it old school. spririt level for camber. just make sure they match and being on a slight slope won't matter 2 much!. get two 1.8m lengths of timber and strap them to the tyres half way up with ratchet straps, then measure thedistance in 2 places. we used have them as far forward as possible...

    i have a dirty chinese import 5ft (£20 new) it works very very well. if i had the money i would buy a hilift. one is better than the other, but both work fine. don't listen to what ANYONE says here. a 5ft fits fine in the back of the 90 across the bulkhead. its just internet rumours that say it...

    Question regarding paint my defender.

    Question regarding paint my defender.

    we need photos. i'd say tidied up original paint is the way to go. a bad respray or brush job will look so so much worse! having said that i'm spraying mine nato green when i get the time as it looks proper scruffy. so if it looks worse than mine, go for it!

    90 fuel tank breather problem, got me baffled

    mine did this but it started leaking soon after and had to be replaced. no help at all i'm afraid! have you tried filling it slower and giving the fuel chance to flow in? there is not rally much to go wrong with a fuel tank!! maybe your sensor is dodgey and its actually full, but reads half...
