    Heated seat kits for 300tdi era defender seats...

    Thank you On top of the cubby is fine. I just dont want to be propping it up with one hand, whilst trying to hook out the battery (etc) with the other. That said, i do find the heated seats make me feel like ive wet myself. Ive not wet myself since i was probably 6 years old, but the...

    Heated seat kits for 300tdi era defender seats...

    I can't tell from looking at britpart (etc) photos - Those seats kits where you get the back and seat base pads - are they all hard wired together? I like to get the seat base off for access, and I'm not even that bothered about heat there. I'm wondering about not fitting that pad, but does...

    Rear sliding side windows

    I'm about to put 88 sides on mine (ie no windows) It's either that, or get a pair of new windows.

    Fitting YRM extended second row floor upstand

    Can you just cut yours down with a grinder? I mean the new part, not the car... Trim off all the extra stuff to make it like the original?

    Fitting YRM extended second row floor upstand

    youre miles away, but all it is is a length of alloy with a couple of folds. i think it cost me way less than yrm wanted for the same (which is fair, as theyre retail, whilst, i guess, my price was just costs)

    The fold at the top of the new bit is only an inch or two. It doesn't go in far, else you would need to drill out more spot welds.

    The new bit is the upstand thing. The end caps are original, but i put a quick and dirty hit of paint on them.

    Fitting YRM extended second row floor upstand

    I'm about to go out in the 110, so I'll take some photos of mine. I don't think I have the gaps in front of the 45 like you do, but I'm not sure. I remember the end cap bits were a pain to get off as they were trapped by the remains of the c posts. Let me take some snaps for you. They may or...

    I just made it the same as the original.

    Fitting YRM extended second row floor upstand

    I've got a 94 csw. Mine was stuffed. All it is (on mine) is a z section of alloy. I get a load of metal CNC bent for work, so I just got a matching part made up and fitted that. Mine didn't have the flap bits. It was just a couple of 90 degree bends. I drilled out the spot welds, slid it...

    101 camper conversion

    Swapping an engine with a similar one is acceptable. The 2.8 that I have in has landrover heritage, and is not significantly different in power to the 3.5 petrol. The gearbox / axels etc remain unchanged, so it's only one point lost. Mine uses a Zeus bell housing to couple to the original...

    101 camper conversion

    They were all petrol, but diesel conversions are common. Mine has a hs2.8 with variable geometry turbo in it. They're tax exempt providing they fit with the rules.

    101 camper conversion

    Daf, if you have the space to keep it... My 101fc lives on the public highway. Some people don't like it but I recon I'd get more bother with a daf. Depends on what you want to do also. A 101fc is not that far off a tent on wheels, whilst people have washing machines and showers in larger...

    The value of parts

    I have the same issue - loads of "stuff" that I don't want, but is worth "something" however selling it is, literally, more trouble than it's worth. Even giving it away for free on Facebook takes time, to photograph, list, communicate, wait in, etc etc. So it remains here. Cluttering up the...

    Value me this 110

    No. You chop up the old one however you like to get it out, and then a take off the triangle by the c post. Replacement cross members have the brackets that bolt on, rather than are welded on, so you can then slide them in though the triangle bit, and bolt on the brackets when they're in place...

    Value me this 110

    Maybe slightly less? eBay completed listings rather than wishful thinkers on the classifieds... It's a slightly tatty td5 csw with some mods that would not appeal to the "I've got some money and want to drive my kids around in a landrover" crowd. That also needs chassis work. So, yeah, I...

    Loads of slack in power train - diffs?

    Didn't quite get the first line? Uj? I guess I can drag out the half shaft and eyeball the diff end, but, unless it's proper stuffed, I probably won't be able to "see" the ware?

    Loads of slack in power train - diffs?

    I did the a frame ball for the mot last month, and I've not actually "tested" this area further. I've not driven it much since the mot, and have not noticed a difference in power trail slack on take up, but it's something I've largely adjusted my driving style to anyway, so I'd have to actually...

    Loads of slack in power train - diffs?

    There's a good amount of slack in my 300 110s transmission. Aside from all other components, if the hand brake is on (which locks the properly fine - ie it's not a hand brake issue) the vehicle can still roll more than id like to to before the slack is taken up. The handbrake isolates this to...

    Anyone encountered these LED headlights?

    Do you mean sharp cut off on field of vision when driving on full beam? The bit thats actually of most interest to me is the pattern / cut off on dip beam. A lot of the reviews of various headlights seem to find problem in this area - that the dip beam strays up, out of where you want it to...
