    Exhaust melting mudguard hi cap

    Just popping this onto separate thread to catch peoples attention as could do with some help. New exhaust, new brackets from yrm. All fitted correctly and brackets line up nicely with hooks. But exhaust...its too close to the mudguard and has melted a hole in it. Have cut few inches off...

    Britpart exhaust

    Ahhhhh. Take it all back! New brackets arrived so went to fit in exact places that yrm land rovers specified which is where the hangers are on exhaust so all good there. Then noticed my mudguard had melted...hole right through it! Just didn't think about this at all. No matter what I do, the...

    Ahh driving me crazy this. Have passenger door tied shut as no point in putting new latch on until its aligned. On a hi cap...can the rear bulkhead be adjusted?

    Boc offer welding gas

    Can't believe I have been on here a few months and haven't mentioned this.... If you join the volkszone forum, BOC do a substantial discount for members. I have big Y size cylinder of Argoshield light. 2 years on and it still has plenty in it. The smaller bottles empty real quick. Can't...

    Wheel spacers

    Mine are steel spacers and have to say...wouldn't be without them. Behave perfectly. Only had vehicle a short while but it sure as heck got no maintenance before I bought it!! And the bearings have done 5800 miles this last few months no issues.

    Swivel Ball FRC7065 onto 200tdi

    Guys been offered 2 of these for cracking price. Will they fit a 1993 200tdi front end. Online getting 2 different answers. Some shops say yes if non air con. Some say no 300tdi onwards. Confused so thought I'd stick them on here. Any clue?

    Best 2" lift set up available??

    Yeah they are proving to be an excellent tyre. I'm completely gobsmacked at the battering the sidewalls can take without showing any damage. Chris to be honest I'm very impressed with them on the road. And they do make an empty hi cap with HD springs a lot more comfortable!!! But yeah, as you...

    Best 2" lift set up available??

    Oh by the way...you will notice I was only referring to Britpart springs. I think just about everybody I know thinks the shocks are pure crap so its put me off even trying them. 1 guy I know has just fitted cellular dynamic shocks and seems really pleased but I would want to see what he thinks a...

    Best 2" lift set up available??

    I think its a bloody minefield...there is so much stuff available to pick through. I would prefer to be standard. Only reason I'm keeping it lifted is the big tyres 35x12.5s. I actually need them rather than for looks. The skinny tryes etc just dig too deep in the soft stuff. The 35s are just...

    Best 2" lift set up available??

    Well suppose time will tell with mine then. Although performance wise...its the best 53 quid I've spent on mine!

    Best 2" lift set up available??

    Hi Chris. Thats unfortunate. I know of 2 chaps who have had them on about 18 months and they still look grand and are working well. All I can say is that it transformed my steering at speed with the bigger tyres. Regards the Britpart springs. Its odd..I know everybody slags them but I...

    Engine belting wear off frequently

    Second this. 2 previous work defenders sheared belts quickly. Was due to alignment on both as had been tampered with previously.
