Small world eh? We went up there the other way and it was just as bad, we took the decision to quit where there was a massive drop one side of the track and a big gully the other. Was a good laugh though a few pics of the other side: The section that took an hour to get through...

Lol, I thought I was seeing things when a Fiat drove round the corner

Thanks for the info Pressbrake, I was gonna e mail you re the best order to put the plates on - don't need to now! It is a nice bit of kit and I want to do it justice with some nice welding - this is why I don't want to do it myself!! The 'white' laning was a good laugh even if we didn't get...

Yeah it's a front. Don't mind doing it over a few weekends if it's easier, as long as I can drive home lol. Sounds like a meet is on the cards, a green lane even once the snow has thawed up here!!

Hope you're as good welding to a chassis that's been on the road since 1990!! I'll have a closer inspection of the outrigger, it might be OK with a plate. I'll have a think if there's anything else 'we' could have a go at too if you like, all for your experience of course...

Kinell dude, I think your welding is up to scratch!

If you're eating chips on a bench with a brown lab, I just sent you a friend request on FB!

I'm much more of an engineer than a body shop person and I've no problem on the mech side, I'm sure we could sort something. Should be able to do it without lifting the tub as there will be no exhaust back box on there and I could bring a plasma cutter with me. The guy I was gonna use could...

I have my new rear cross member now (thanks Presbrake) I need to get it fitted and did have someone in mind but an inspection of his welding has put me off. My welding is OK for none structural stuff but I want piece of mind that it's been done properly by someone who knows what they're doing...

I get RAC cover through my bank account, called them out a few times and they've been spot on. Every call out has been to my wife's Renault by the way...

:welcome2: You're probably better off just saying Hi here and asking questions in the main forum but does the heater work at all before the fuse blows? If not it could be seized?

After upgrading to a set of bigger wheels & tyres I thought I'd pick up one of the single wheels I'd seen on ebay but no bugger is selling single wheels at the mo! It's only the spare so not fussed what it is, just need an AT tyre with a steel wheel in it! I'm in North Wales but go all over the...

As above, a standard Disco will go a long way. I am doing more to my Defender cos I want to do some P&P's (and it looks cool). Other than getting the vehicle working right (service, UJ's etc) tyres were my first purchase as I wanted as much clearance as the other people likely to be driving a...

It's like they should go down to the curve below the door handles, would be interesting to see that

Much better than their first try!

Very good dash by the way, I just fitted a CB in mine and it was well easy as they put self tapping holes in just the right place for the bracket.

Sounds familiar, my 90's only 23 though... :welcome2:

I'm 5'10" and I had to put a smaller steering wheel in so I'd think it's a must for taller people, I also have aftermarket seats fitted which make a big difference. The great thing with a Defender is if something isn't how you want it you can just change it. At 18 I'd be more worried about...

You can get protectors for the rear window, nowt for the front unless you want to go for the full riot / A Team look
