    Warn Or Superwinch?

    Warn Or Superwinch?

    Nothing I guess...tho I've just noticed that I didn't put "any other sugestions would be good" at the end oops. I just heard form a few people (not on here tho) that you should get warn, superwinch or not at all, as the other makes could land you in some very hot water, which in fairness could...

    How Reliable is a defender???

    Seconded!!! touch wood I've never not got it home! this includes: bending 3 track rods, snapping the low box linkage (with the gearbox between low and high!) ripping the wiring loom out of the chassis with something caught round the prop (at night), having a head-on crash with another LR in the...

    /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ good point, however I've fitted Disco 200 TDi calipers to my 90 and it stops a treat, a little too well for the tyres to be honest

    Surely this can be fixed?

    Excatly what I was going to say! A warranty is a waranty, no question about it, the only thing that can change that is driver abuse - "excuse me but my door seem to have fallen off because I crashed into a tree!" - which doesn't seem to be the case here. Good Luck

    Were To Buy Me Bits From?

    Yea I'd say with about 99% certianty that it will all fit as very little (or nothing) has changed on the 07 with regards to the body, chassis, axles etc. Main things that have changed are the: engine, box, dash and front doors. I test drove one a month or so ago, but it's was just a little...

    Tdi or TD5/Ford

    whether this helps or not I'm not sure, but I went for a 2.8 Isuzu in my 90 and it flyes! On road it flyes! Off road it flyes! Even on the motorway with 6 people in, towing a trailer with 10-12 friends' camping stuff for 5 days (that's a lot of stuff, with easlier 20 crates of beer as well)...

    Transfer Box Noise...a bad one! Help Please?!

    Hi guys I've got a very bad noise coming from my transfer box, I'm almost certian that's where it's coming from. It sounds like a bearing; a kind of "ech...ech...ech...ech" that gets faster as you do, so I'm assuming a bearing of some kind? the oil level is Ok (again I think; up to the grub...
