    What have you done to your Landie today.

    After swapping the Discovery transfer box for old Defender transfer box back with a new cross drilled input gear on the Defender, so happy to have my torque back :D On 32" tyres with a disco box was fine, 33" tyres are no good, even with a big intercooler and wound up fuel pump + Turbo it just...

    I liked it enough to pay 99p for it, put it that way :D

    Not that good really, just hilarious :D

    Heard this on 22 Jump Street yesterday. 'Lil Jon & DJ Snake' - 'Turn Down For What' :D

    After thinking I was clever putting BMW E46 seats in the Defender, after a week I realised I don't like them, if it ain't broken don't fix it :doh: :D

    Yeah man very true, and if I get a roof lining I'd have to get side trims to go with. Both the roof lining and side trims are £600 with vat :o But I suppose they'll last years and tidy the inside of it up :)

    I just didn't update :p Honestly, I think I'm just going to do it proper and get a LaSalle rooflining. It's doing my head in at the moment looking untidy :rolleyes: :D

    Finally fitted the new wheels, tyres and extended arches :D 285/75R16 Cooper Discoverer STT's on 16x8 D-Modular -32 offset from Silverline 4x4 The arches are from MPS trading on fleabay and are apparently 'indestructible' :)

    All these points make sense. I think I'm better off being safe than sorry. I've heard of people meeting the wrong cop and getting 3 points for each wheel, instant ban basically :rolleyes: Might be made up, but I don't want to take that risk

    Ah right, that makes sense. If I went on an axle twister now it would probably rip the standard arch off :D Got some +2" 'Indestructible' ones on the way :D

    So mine now are legal? I was sure that if the treads stick out it's not legal? Might be wrong though :o

    Got some new wheels + tyres from Silverline 4x4. Can't fault them, had a small problem with the courier being late, but they were very quick to chase them up and couldn't do enough to help :) Chuffed with the look of them, just waiting on my extended arches for legal reasons :rolleyes...

    whats the best defender engine ? poll

    Mainshaft splines :( Apart from that they're not too bad

    What size steel rims for 255/85/16's

    They're probably just covering their own arses, but tbh I've just checked Cooper's site, (a bit biased because I've got cooper's), but they say 6.5" is ok for 255 :confused: Unless they've had bad experience in the past? As you said though, their loss :p

    After smelling a suspicious oily smell, I checked unde the bonnet, turns out I didn't screw the oil filler cap down properly. Oil mist all over the engine bay :D Luckily the oil level only went a bit down and the oil filler cap was tucked between the cylinder head and exhaust manifold, slightly...

    My dad and I 'removed' (mutilated) all my seized grenade valve caps. I couldn't recommend aluminium valve caps any less now, thanks to that salt on the road :rolleyes:
