    Desperately need to buy (with fitting) new rims in the SE of England.

    I've just found out that the rims I'm running my 265s on are way too small. I have to ship the car to the states tomorrow so need to find somewhere from Central london down to Southampton that are likely to have in stock and fit 5 new 16" rims. Any body know of anywhere on that route or...

    What's with the bump on the bonnet of the new defenders?

    Parked next to a late model 90 HT today that had a great big bump in the middle of the bonnet! No air intakes, just a great big ruddy scquare bump. What's that about?

    water tight?

    there's a story I heard from someone. To test the effectiveness of the sealing of their new cars, manufacturers were known to lock a *cat in the car overnight. If, in the morning, the cat had suffocated, they knew that they had an airtight car. On hearing this, Landrover attempted the same...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Decided to grind down the rotten inner sills on my newly aqcuired fender V8 to apply a bit o' hammerite and found that the rotten sills were actually rotten carpet bracket things and the actual sills ain't too bad at all. :) Removed the radio center slab and 70's radio ready for new head...

    Just installed seat rails!

    you know the ones from MUD that give you a (ahem) couple of inch lift. They're great... it's made a hell of a difference to visibility and my knees aren't bent in a funny was as they were before. I did a couple of hundred miles over the weekend and was getting a bit of a sore knee as it...

    shafted by a dealer

    Doesn't sound like the trader did it malisciously. Could have been worse, but yes, he should give you your money back. £2.6k to £2k!? That's a helluva discount... perhaps he couldn't wait to be rid.

    Fitting wingtops
