    Best lift kit for a TD5 defender 90?

    Its when you 'bounce' you way up things when the springs pop out. Thats how it happens to me anyway.

    Will it get through the MOT

    It passed, thats all i care about! Its his problem that will come back to him when someones insurance becomes invalid!

    Ooops!

    Went over to Denholme Quarry yesterday (about a 1 hour drive), had a look roound on foot and found a pretty knarly rocky slope and thought id give it a try... Drove to the foot of it and checked tank clearance etc, and decided the best approach would be to 'bounce' up the bottom part of the...

    Will it get through the MOT

    Depends on the examiner. Last week mine passed with a broken plate so the P looked like an F, and he didnt even start the engine, didnt check wheel bearings, headlight aim, brakes, or emissions. It passed, with two bent trailing arms too! The dodgy ****ers!

    200tdi/300tdi,whats the difference?

    Same here, dunno the exact mileage but it had done 67K in 1997. No smoke for me either and it feels very healthy. The 300s are slightly more torquey?

    Isuzu 3.1 conversion for Defender

    Yeah, the new 3.0 ones are far more electrical, which is probably where the problems lie... My Dads also has about 120K on it, and it hasnt so much as flinched in its life. Still has bags of power, 175bhp IIRC, and im guessing even more torque. Im hoping he'll get rid when the value of the...

    This is why Americans don't use daily drivers as Trail Rigs

    The first vid is waaay better. Id much rather do that than sit in the mud moving at 0.5mph. Boring.

    Rusty Door Bottoms

    I had this with my back door. What i did was fix 1" wide strips of metal from end to end of the door frame wherever it was bad, obviously bolted onto the less rotten areas. My front doors are the same, but im not bothered, as long as the hinges are fine.
