but I'll bet she could quote you grammaticaly correct( far too complex)

there arre loads of links to this subject but I couldn't find a diffinitive one. I own a defender 90 with permenant 4 wheel drive and a centre lockable differential. Now I don't know a lot about how 4x4s work but I am learning so let me ask you a few questions; If I have permenant 4 wheel drive...

what's your opinion of supermarket oil?, Morrisons sell some for £10.99/5L and the specification meets that recomended by land rover, so are we wasting our money when we buy castrol etc. or are the more expensive oils actually better?

what is the £30 fine for? what section of the road traffic act are you contraviening? surely plod should issue a written warning first and then a fine(or summonse) for any subsiquent offenses.

me and my mate are reletive newcomers to the off road scene, I have a 200Tdi 90 with an LT77 gearbox, while he has a 300Tdi 110 with an R380 box, we take it in turns to use them off road and what a difference there is between them, the LT77 has got bags of low down torque and will trundle along...

I'm thinking of buying a 1997 300Tdi, which is very tidy. It has not been used off road and as a consequence the diff lock lever has seized, what would be involved in curing this problem?

OI! Dirty Gerty shouldn't Janie be wearing a Garter?

one of the landy mags was asked this question recently and the answer was that the number plates must be fitted to the "front" of the vehicle and the mag sugested it meant the furthest front rather than just forward facing but there was no difinitive answer.

would it work if I put a T piece in? one piece from me skorkel , one to the heater and the other to the air box

I can't afford a snorkel so I'm going to put a piece of 3" flexipipe directly from the air box up through the wing and up the windscreen. problem is I want to completely blank off the side vent and drill a hole in the wing top but the heater vent is in the way. Can I ditch the air inlet to the...

souping up a defender is like polishing a turd, a little pointless and all you end up with is a shiny turd.

I had a very simlar problem with mine and it was a right bugger to locate, but by a proccess of ilimination I diagnosed a sh***ed steering box. I bought a replacement from a forum member and fitted it the folowing day and it has transformed the car, as, apart from the notchyness, the steering...

as shifty says about the hinges, the turrets are easy to change and cheap and as they would fail an MOT if they were realy rusty I would change them on both sides. As for waxoiling the chassis (frame) it.s definately worth doing as it will prolong the life of the chassis but regular sprays of...

how do I change the lock barrel from a defender rear door without the original key? I know how to change them with the key but without?

bonkas 4x4 wales.com lots of sites, lots of local knowledge, lots of fun.

how do I adjust the steering stops on the swivels, I have fitted some 265s. and they are fouling the radius arms on full lock

can I fit a 265/75/16 on a 5.5x16 defender wheel?

I think I'v dropped a bit of a b****ck, I'v just paid £200 for 4 pirelli scorpion mud terrrain tyres 265/75/16 on land rover freestyle alloys from e-bay. now I don't know if they have been fettled but they fit my 90 even though it has drums on the back, however, the fronts are fowling on...

after finding oil seeping from my rear hub, I suspected a blocked breather pipe. This was confirmed, when I removed the axle level plug and I heard a "pshhshshsshsh" sound.the thing is, they are remote breathers which means the only way the breather can become blocked is if the pipe is blocked...
