    Seatbelts alternatives

    Firstly Happy New Year! Now - down to business... Anybody know if these universal seatbelt kits fit Defenders (tdi). Reason being...almost spent my budget on this thing - way quicker than had hoped. Spotted some universal kits on Ebay and they look similar. Do they all fit the same...

    Painting bonnet - advice please!

    You can get into tight bits with a brush - then smooth over with the roller to avoid brush strokes!

    Painting bonnet - advice please!

    This is good advice!!! Prep really well - and make sure you remove every hint of grease. Oh and obviously etch primer before topcoat if going back to bare metal. 2k is good stuff but it is deadly in the wrong hands. You need to wear a decent suit and make sure you are all taped up with a good...

    Rocky Mountain Door Tops - worth £300 or not?

    True enough...its odd. Although the splandrovers door bottoms seem good quality. Primer finish is a bit sloppy but the doors seem well enough built and at about £100 for both door bottoms they are good value! yet again didnt get a chance to get photos as too busy painting up my hinges!

    Rocky Mountain Door Tops - worth £300 or not?

    Finally getting my doors built up this week. Sp Landrovers were supplying the rest of the kit and a few bits were missing so was waiting to get them sorted (William at SP is a very helpful fella). Sods law though. Literally few days after getting them x2 pair of Military door tops came up for...

    Defender Military Wolf Door Tops

    I have x2 sets Military door tops for sale. Just thought I'd popped them on here before ebaying them. They are in excellent condition all round. Glass is in great nick. Locking mechs work as should. Need felt for bottoms but plenty on ebay etc. You might want to put new pins/bolts in but...

    Nice but £13.5k?

    Dont get me wrong - fair play to anyone who has £72,000 odd quid to spend on a vehicle. But I'd certainly be looking at a nice Landy + something else special for that money!!!!

    Nice but £13.5k?

    Ok, well thats just ridiculous. Just my opinion, but my love for Land rovers is their ruggedness and bare bones simplicity. Mine is my daily working vehicle but also my car as such so I love it for its purpose. I think once you start trying to make them so luxurious you are bypassing the...

    Nice but £13.5k?

    I am ashamed to say I quite like the cage in a childish sort of way. But can also see why many would hate it. I dislike chequer plate though...in all its forms. Price is insane...but send it over here and bet ya he can sell it. Some serious s**t sells for big money here!

    filling up

    I had this problem - drove me nuts... Until I realised mine had a little mesh prefilter that had some debris in it so caused it to froth back up at me when I tried to fill it quickly. Now that is sorted but I still find that I have to put fuel in short bursts or it froths back up at me...

    Defender roof......

    Chris you got my attention... Whats the method for doing so if you dont mind my asking. No 1 section needs popped out as its really noticeable left as is. But when popped out sits almost a bit too high so if I could just get it eased down a bit I would then consider what Mick the Builder...

    [/URL][/IMG] It would be interesting to see if any of you Defender owners are familiar with this sight.

    Defender roof......

    Guys think we are getting crossed wires here. It isn't actually dented - thats were I am baffled. Picture the 4 'strips' across roof...you follow me? In between 2 the roof is kind of popped/sagging inwards. If I put my hand underneath to push it upwards/out the section beside it (in...

    Defender roof......

    Well the good cab I was after has been sold with the vehicle. Owner was converting to hardtop for sale but sold quicker than he thought and as is. Looked at a few other truck cabs today but none were really waht you would call straight....not as straight as I want anyway. So looks like this...

    Defender, bad synchro or bad dealer

    10k for 200 tdi Defender...must be a helluva good un! I avoid px and always have. Its never even a consideration for me. Know lots of friends who px every time they change...good easy option but when I hear what prices they get (very very low) for their old vehicles makes me squirm!
