    Wanted Anyone breaking a disco 3?

    I’m in Hertfordshire and debating it after the garage said it’s essentially a write off due to everything that’s wrong with it. Boooo so it’s break it or we buy any car…

    New chassis - appreciation post

    Ha, I’ve looked at it as an investment… Total was £8.5k all in, that’s very many parts and all labour. I had budgeted for £6k but more stuff surfaced that needed replacing during the process. Obviously. Plus I updated a few bits too and added some toys

    New chassis - appreciation post

    Yep, that's what I thought - he's done a good job for sure. It was a fair old list of stuff he had to do, most definitely not a simple straightforward chassis swap. 2.5k over budget :( But still, I'm very happy indeed

    New chassis - appreciation post

    I'll ask the wife... To be fair, the amount of crap I get off my mates about my 'kit car built with bits off eBay', the Duracells were quite a nice touch :)

    New chassis - appreciation post

    On a forum a few months back I asked the age-old question... do I get the chassis replaced or sell as a going concern? The overwhelming response was get it replaced, or you’ll just end up regretting it! Somebody recommended Si Sagar at SS 4x4 Performance so we had a chat on the phone the...

    For Sale Sankey Narrow Track camping Trailer

    Hi all. I bought this Sankey narrow track trailer a couple of years back. However, despite best intentions (and pesky family life), it's pretty much sat where I dropped it off. So - I regret it's back up for sale. Hopefully the next owner will get a little further than me. It's a 1967 Narrow...

    Spongy Brakes - Defender 90 2001

    Hi all, Over the last week, the brakes on the 90 have been getting a little spongy. On first depress of brake pedal, it goes nearly to the ground, then every pump after gets stiffer. They stay ok for a little bit, a few hundred yards and then back to pumping the pedal. I've not had chance to...

    Wingtop Security - nice bit of kit

    With the one I have (pictured), the threads are attached to the plate. So you just remove existing plastic cover, pop this into the existing holes and washer/bolt it from inside the wing. It can’t be undone from outside

    Wingtop Security - nice bit of kit

    Every little helps :) We all talk about a layered approach... Can’t get to mine from underneath unless you take a bit of the underbody protection off. Also can’t easily get to it through the front grill as I have a sodding great lightbar welded in the way :)

    Wingtop Security - nice bit of kit

    I bought the below wingtop cable guard ‘plates’ from Will at https://www.landroverdefendersecurity.com What a hefty bit of kit - it must be about 5mm thick. It looks good and so easy to fit. Secured that pesky little hole in about 8 minutes, nice and easy. The plate bolts from underneath so you...

    Thank you @raywin I definitely do not have that, so will check the cable is there and give the switch an eBay search :) Ta muchly. (now if there is a cable in there, i'm thinking I might run additional switches to the rear of the headlights...)

    Hi all, 2001 Defender TD5. Bonnet alarm switch. Where should the switch go and should there be a loom/wire to pick up somewhere in the engine bay (purple with blue trace)? Cheers in advance
