The Landrover has been good to me the last few weeks so I decided to treat her and give it a real good clean inside and out, I treated all the black plastic with black wow (great stuff) The landy came up a treat, looks almost new, not bad for a 17 year old vehicle

Personally I woudnt put alot of money into it untill you know for sure it will be accepted as LEZ compliant. It would be a shame to sell the mini, put in a huge amount doing up the landy and then have to sell it.

As above, thinking about fitting polybushes simply because of the ease of fitting but do you need to declare them to your insurance company?

For that sort of money you could buy a nearly new one (less than 10k miles) if you wanted a posh xs version. My advice would be to go and have a good look at them, is the 90 big enough for example? ask for an extended test drive and see how you feel after an hours driving, the new ones are...

I dont know anything about nene personally but when I saw this thread I remembered it, do you know what sort of budget you'll have to spend?

Just my opinion but if I was buying a vehicle to do 35K a year id prefer to driver a discovery commercial to a defender. I read this thread re nene the other day, maybe worth reading http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/my-land-rover-hell-110-defender-icon-211079.html

When I first bought my 300 tdi I thought the heater was rubbish but I adjusted the heater cables on the matrix and now its nice and warm, even in the cold weather, so much so I have to turn it down because it gets too warm. You need to make sure that the cable from the dash heat control is...

Any update mate, you arent the luckiest person are you

I think that post is in relation to his renewal, the next post on page 12 he says 28th update: Well the engineers report arrived today. It states that the vehicle suffered minor rear end damage but is judged to be a write off due to requiring specialist repair. However, the covering letter...

This is a great thread ive just been reading this with interest. I dont know if this will be picked up but I do have a question. Although the insurance company have paid for the cost of the repair are you not out of pocket because now you ahve a vehicle with a cat D write off against is which...

Hi Ive done a search but cant find alot of info. Ive got some decent physical security on my 90 (disklok, getting pedalbox fitted soon) but I wouldnt mind an alarm even if it only goes off for 10-20 secs or so to alert me if anyone messes with my landy when im asleep. While I...

Hi Firstly Ive done some searches dont cant seem to find a straight answer, Is the pink OAT coolant safe to use in the 300tdi? my coolant is slightly low and I need to top it up, currently it has the pink OAT stuff in

Just to update I put them upto 30 front and rear and its made a substantial differece, many thanks

Regarding LEZ Ive got a 1996 defender and got round the lez by fitting rear windows, taking pics and sending them off, I think if your vehicle is pre 1998 you ahve a decent chance as you dont have to get the v5 change, after 1998 it seems you have zero chance as the DVLA wnt change it without...

I use to thin they were rubbish but I cleaned mine, adjusted the cables and now after 15 minutes the Cab is roasting, I drove over 100 miles today in just a t shirt

I dont think it will be that much, we has alot of extras and it was 3K, I reckon nearer 2.5-2.7K Good luck with it, if you want the guy who did ours number just send us a pm.

The chasis was £1500 The labour was 800, We also had alot of extras like new shock absorbers, steps, brake lines, exhaust etc the list goes on so added another £700

Cheers for the suggestions To be totally honest im completly new to trying anything mechanical, Im going to through all the suggestions 1 buy 1 but may take me a while to work out exactly how to do each! Ive bought a Haynes Manual and been watching as many youtube videos and reading as...

Its just had a brand new one, it has improved alot but the steering is nowhere near as good a friends 2003 TD5, that was almost car like in comparison

How do you check that melon?
