    adding a winch to me fender

    I used ws4x4 for wires. Cut the lengths I wanted and then put connectors on. Found a 300A isolator switch to put on the live that will take the stick.

    8 spoke 7x16 steelies, worth much?

    Bit of research :) I've got some steel wheels that came with a set if mud tyres on. I've since taken them off and now have the steels separate. They were white but then painted black which isn't the best finish. I'm gonna strip them back to bare metal and paint them black. Got Hammerite here so...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Either 33 or 35 x12.5 or somert like that. Ill check tomorrow. Used to be on 265/75r16 general grabbers but kept sinking on grass with 800l water in the back. The MUDs are a tenfold improvement.

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Dads landy in the workshop today. New winch and bumper as he's been getting stuck! He wants to be able to pull himself out of deep holes. Shame it's a britpart! Had to modify the sprayer boom mount around the winch so it would all work. Took some fettling!

    Getting more MPG out of a 200tdi

    Maybe you could try using some injector/fuel system cleaner. If its coked up with crap then it'll be inefficient

    Fire destroys td4

    Is this going to be a spin off from the what do you call your landy thread, the what did you end up doing to your landy when it broke

    auf_wiedersehen_pet's build thread.

    That's a very bright lairy green. It's cool but I wouldn't paint mine in that. I'd go for "look at me" fluorescent orange! I am thinking of repainting parts of mine. Mainly the roof and bonnet because both are shagged. Maybe turn the roof bars blue or green in the process :)

    Sub from disco 1

    Some of you may remember the sub box I built for the back door of my disco. It broke but then I rebuilt it making it very solid. I have just bought a new one which gives more noise so I have a spare one up for grabs. I can sell the unit complete as sub and box or just the sub and amp for you to...

    Quick winch wiring question.

    I've looked but can never find much specific. Are those red key switches sufficient enough? Will they not melt under load?

    Quick winch wiring question.

    Gonna wire up my warn m8000 to my disco got 90ah and 750 cca on the battery which is new. Don't plan to do any hefty winching. Maybe just the odd self recovery or helping others or pulling trees. I understand I need some heavy wiring so I'm gonna get some that is 450-500amp cable. My query is...

    Sankey tub, save or scrap??

    If it was 10x5' and with high sides its more useful. Not gonna get much in a little sankey! Usually easier having the vehicle tipping anyway. As there is usually a chipper as a trailer.
