    Best 2" lift set up available??

    Hi hybridni, the rtc might look good now it's new but if mine is anything to go by it won't last mate- the nice blue spring on mine started peeling after about 6-7months and the actual damper has now starting bubbling! Maybe I got a lemon but as far as I'm concerned the quality is ****e!

    Tools for the job !

    No mate, It's not a set %. Some items I only get 5% off (say on handles) but on others I can get upto about 40% (say taps). But over all the lads in there give me about 20% off the whole kitchen. On one kitchen I did they gave me the extractor hood free!

    Totally agree, B&Q arnt the cheapest on most items but like you say they have some good offers at times. I mainly use mine for kitchens- some customers started picking kitchens from B&Q (prefer Howdens myself) so when they go pick thier kitchen and get it designed they get a price for it, I...

    19j 2.5td Boost Diaphragm pin adjustment

    How important is the length of pin? Because I did mine a couple of weeks ago by eye and although my 90 drives much better I have noticed a difference in fuel economy (seems wrong to even use the word economy) haha Or would I notice a difference in mpg after fitting anyway due to the turbo now...

    Land Rover std jack

    I still use the original jack(square and ratchet) when out- because I'm too tight to buy a new hi-lift. It takes forever to lift haha. It does sit neatly behind the seats tho. I use trolley jack when at home.

    Who Is Going To LZ11?

  17. chris mcc

    18 y/o with a 25 y/o Defender.. Well a 90!

    It's had a top coat respray some time recently, which made it a little more difficult identifying if it was hiding anything - as had the rear crossmember. Fortunately I'd done my homework before viewing and knew what to look for, it ticked all the boxes :) there is slight surface rust in places...

    Who Is Going To LZ11?

    I'm in, never been before-sounds a laugh. Bringing my mate as missus not up for roughing it! Leaving hounds at home, as hardwork. Leaving bin lids at home, as hardwork haha! Just fingers crossed the 90 makes it! Looking forward to it. Anyone else from north wales going?
