Picked her up on a transporter trailer yesterday :5bhurray: 14 hour round trip :crazy_driver: rained all day.... Just about to unload her, I could be gone some time :D

Cheers Landyjd, I think I'll live with it for a bit and let it grow on me :lol: If the wings and tub were cut to fit the wide arches I'll have to live with the wide look so I'm leaning towards some 265/75/16 ATs straight off the bat, alarm, towbar, spare wheel carrier, and sound proofing...

Dave: draws I'm not keen on, I want the option to take it all out if I need to use the full height of the loadspace ;) I thought about using ally checker to make a lid and a bunch of bespoke toolboxes but that would mean rigging my Mig for Tig and you have to rent the gas bottles on contract...

Dave no way am I spending THAT much :lol: I can see 2 grand going bye bye pretty quickly tho, but after that it should do me ... he says... :pound: now that looks nice stuff! Any idea how much? there's no price on the site. That would take care of the front, I've got a different idea for the...

Great stuff chaps, I'm not overly concerned with fuel economy I only did 2500 miles last yr, the diff between 30mpg & 28mpg is only 6 gal on the yr. and my current vehicle is a 3.0l V6 petrol shogun so it's going to seem cheap anyway, specially the tax ;) Course I hope to do more miles on the...

cheers mate, just looking for ballpark numbers atm, this was more an exercise in adding up the bits I need, with the cost of the vehicle, to then go and compare what else is on the market for the total. I've not seen owt for 9k better than this will be after I finish spending 2k on it :D

It's N reg, 95/6 wants 7k :eek: but yeah it will last me 20yrs or more so I'm getting used to the idea...

discomania: top reply :) your soundproofing sounds genius! Another £200 on the spend list... I was considering getting the tires locally when I pick it up, it'll be a 250 mile trip home, with no steering damper it gets steering wobble at 60mph with the mud tires on :eek: don't fancy sitting at...

would it be worth having the instas on off set rims for laning? If I have them as spares for laning I'll need them on some rims, so might as well have it right... as the bank balance drops more before my very eyes.....:lol:

She's giving me the eye, and I may have a date with her soon, but I'm still in two minds... Here's the spec... Land Rover Defender 90 300 Tdi Hard Top Purchased in July 2009 full service history – 73920 miles to date 75312 (11/13) Rebuilt (nut & bolt) 2011/ 12 using Marshland galvanised...

You said it was not correct that you need anything HETAS, If you read the regs about the checklist form that has to be signed, you'll see it asks for membership of "HETAS,NACE,NAC" and your membership number of said organizations. maybe it's semantics, maybe it's pedantics :lol:

If you read the regs about the checklist form that has to be signed, you'll see it asks for membership of "HETAS,NACE,NAC" and your membership number of said organizations. But then I read the regs and consulted BC when I installed mine, and posted on that basis, rather than what someone says...

You have to fill in a installation checklist form for building control, part of that is a smoke test, building control told me I needed a smoke test certificate with the form, building control do not supply a smoke test certificate. Maybe you can print up your own smoke test certificate, the...

The title of the thread is woodburning stoves, if you want to burn wood in a controlled zone you need a compliant stove. These have been tested and shown to produce low emissions when woodburning (the air controls are set so you can't shut it down completely) Some stoves are also approved for...

You need to measure the size of the room so you know what size woodburner you need, you can put the numbers into this online calculator also see the considerations on that page for a better clue. If you're in a smokeless zone (or other planning restrictions) this will limit the type of stove...

cheers mate, yeah i found that, but it's not showing one of the posts I made this morning, posted in the "stop barking" thread, a vBullitin thingy came up with something about pre-moderation, but it had gone before I got my glasses to read it properly :confused: found the thread longhand but...

he heh 110woman, the only conversion I'll be doing will involve off road toys, though a little help from on high might not go a miss :D mudfever: Nuts? Me? Nah I'm normal, it's the rest of the world that's bat **** crazy :5brofl: Anyone know how long us newbs are in pre-moderation? I posted...

Cheers for the welcome chaps :tea: see you around the boards :)

Hi All... I followed a trail of breadcrumbs on arbtalk and ended up in here :eek: After cutting my teeth bending a few lanides in the Navy during the 80's, (I once balance a redwing V8 110 on it's wing mirror :o ) I've had a couple of mid 1990's 110's of my own, a wallet squeezing ex RAF...
