I contacted a few of these companies to ask for prices of their systems but they didn't recommend adding it into a car of 1 compartment. They said the unit was only really designed for vans etc which have a completely separate compartment to the cockpit. It sounds like a good method but I think...

I was thinking more to make it harder to get in the vehicle rather than them taking parts. But I suppose there are easier ways in? Rust is the only thing keeping my back door together ;)

Just a quick question regarding defender door guards. From this link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Defender-Front-Door-Hinge-Security-Guard-2-Door-Set-DA1398/332188110197?hash=item4d57f44d75:g:OxoAAOSwoj9bCFxQ The kit provides 2 sets of guards for the side doors on a 90 but are...

This video from the guys @ Tirsbaek shows them installing some well priced heated seats. They seem to fit well with the only problem being that it is a bit harder to get to the battery box. Alternatively mazda rx8 seats are quite common.

Hehe! It is working for me :) With regards to the engine, we think we have found the problem... The seller started the engine and the oil was coming from the oil pump area. Without closer inspection this has made me think that it is the dreaded oil pump bolt that left the factory without...

7 1L bottles bought, 6 used, £10/bottle. That's shell for you!

Quite considerably :) Not much! We filled it up with £70 of oil and drove it as far as we felt possible to a safe location. Let's just say it's bowels exploded :( We will trailer it back to the seller tomorrow. If it is easily fixable and the drama hasn't caused any engine damage we will have...

Thanks! Around 20miles back to ulverston from just south of Kendal. :(

Having a look now. Might be a while as I am not a whizz with the mechanics yet :/

Not at the moment. Oil is everywhere so I can't really tell. Btw it is a td5

Yes :(

Ah yep. In my panic I have posted it to the wrong place sorry
