On the contrary I take the job very seriously, researched, brought tools enabling me to do it properly to spec, made a mistake and rectified it immediately, it has all gone back together and runs stops, my original question was about a tight brake pad, and the reason I asked was that if anybody...

Why? Because I asked about a tight pad? thread locked all bolts as required, torqued them correctly, Yes ideally someone else would be great but seems if followed instructions not hit and hope (yes albeit with a silly mistake which was rectified) its a do able task. Kes where do you live, if...

Just a quick one, changed rear o/s disc and pad on my 94 defender (am doing the others tomorrow) all seemed to go ok just pad furthest from wheel went in ok the one nearest the wheel was fu?()NG tight to get in, the piston felt flush with caliper will it bed in sort itself out? Oh and if...

Just read through post sorry to hear about your loss bud :(

Bristol and West, bought some stuff i didnt need, first longish run and she performed admirably, put me down for eastnor be nice to put a face to the abuse.

Yes I was looking at the t max system, out of interest which battery did you go for as your secondary and was the cigarette lighter attachment sufficient for the fridge or did you wire it in? I don't plan to be running anything else at same time although have 2 additional sockets...

Hi Jason how did your solar set up work? I have a 50l waeco and yes will be merzouga beginning August. No split charge fitted as yet but still a month to go :eek:

After every camping trip? That's a shame gonna work out too expensive as mrs is 25 stone, ah well gonna head over to the dogging thread see where we can get to on £5 of fuel!:D

I'm sure this may have been done to death but roof tent + couple of adults how will that hold up on a defender 90 in terms of the roof of the 90 collapsing under the weight.

A relaxing stress free one?

I'm hearing inverters being wired in and huge ones to boot. I've got a small cheapo one I was going to plug into the cigarette lighter just for charging camera batteries etc, will this not be sufficient?

I bought some pears from M&S this morning, beautifully chilled and a weeks date left on them. Please when you say rotten as a pear dont judge them all by your own fruity standards, The market stall you flock to at 4pm on a sunday afternoon is not going to yield the best crop.

Get a jetboil, the gas lasts for ages and you have enough water for 2 in a couple of minutes. Great if you go off for a wander.

My heater thingy, knob on the right of the console was stuck on hot I took the right side bit of plastic off and lifted up the metal bit on a spring that keeps knob in place after moved and it works now. Oh and I lifted up the seat and cleaned the top of the diesel tank. At least I think it's...

Why the fk are you guys spending so much money, get a mountain rescue whistle those mothers are properly loud. And when you park up and walk you can still use the the thing when some old biddy falling out of lidl gets in your way......

Has anybody got a set of radiator hoses for a 300tdi defender 90 they can part with. Also looking for a water and fuel pump and steering and diff guards. Thank you......
