Cubby box in. Made some little quick detach brackets underneath, so can still fold flat with relative ease. Just needs a proper clean now! However recent passengers have already said how much better it is! So thats a win in my book. Plus a nice autumnal photo for you all My headliner is...

I obviously cant leave anything standard and can often see a way to improve it... So bought the XEng unlockable rear anti rollbar which uses an AVM Series locking hub. Lovely design and will suit my needs perfectly. Got me thinking if I can make it work off a switch on the dash either...

Removed from a 2003 Defender 110 on 145km Diff is good One swivel is fine. The other is pitted. Perfect for a rebuild! Collection only from BR6 £250 for forum members.

Defender NAS Step Recovery Eye. 15mm steel. Will need x4 M16 x 50mm 8.8 grade or similar to fit (plus nylocs/washers) £40.00 Can post.

Removed from a 2003 XS 110. Good conditon. Some minor damage to the rear of one of the seats. Collection from Crawley or Horsham Can post at cost. £300.00

Yup.. sits under the seats, did the same in the old 110 but made the mistake of using a 5kw which was HUGE this one is a true 2kw.

Best day ever 🙄 Noticed the exhaust manifold gasket was blowing. On removal found it was split on cyl 1 blowing on 3, 4 & 😬 Changed the studs to longer ones from Gigglepin, well most... couldnt get 3 out and wasn't risking snapping them. So they stayed. Not tooo bad.... Also found then...

Frames all painted, adjustments made. Beefed up two off the connections from M8 to M12 because it was easy to do. Just waiting for the clasp for the storage door. Ordered a MUD Stuff cubby box, slightly larger than the OEM one so should fit nicely in there. May get the lid trimmed to...

Oh thats a good idea! Erm no one really more of an emergency short trip jump seat and always found it handy to have a flat space across the seats.

Welded the storage door in place today with some little bullet hinges. Held in place by 3 magnets, mostly to reduce rattle, will also have the same style latch as the cubby boxes. Also made the side cover plates With holes to allow a diesel heater to be fitted. Will be pop riveted in...

Ohhhh I could! I mean it's not Texas but I do have a couple shotguns 😅

I did think that, that is an option, though I would like 3 seats if possible bit more versatile!

Started on my rear seat conversion. Kept my original XS front seats for this very reason, just took a year to find a pair of runners for decent money - £30 for a pair 😅 Using the original seat mounting points. They fit. They are MUCH more comfortable and actually have some support...

Just did all mine as well, fairly easy job!

I hear the same. It's often down to the fact that people can't be assed to sit and sit them up correctly and blame the product. I've seen so many badly installed ones and because of the design if installed badly makes changes worse. Installed correctly and set up massive improvement. Also had...

Ok so we are talking about 200s & 300s here. Neither of which can produce enough hp or torque to ever warrant needed an SMF. I was referring to the use in higher power TD5s. The thread piqued my interest becuase of the chat about vibration, chatter and such. None of which I've experienced...

What did they say about the heavy duty versions? Probably the same thing that Turners said, which turned out not to be true...

So that was in reference to the old style Britpart ones. Lukes have been redesigned to avoid this. After reading this yesterday I tried to see if mine had any issues as described and they just arnt there. Drives as smooth and happy as if it was a DMF.

No chance. That's part of the point of the SMF over DMF. If you want to stay stock power/just a mild remap then fit Valeo. You can get away with that running a hybrid but it will not last anywhere near as long. I've seen failures as low as 15k miles from a brand new valeo. However depends on...

Zero at the minute the laser is down😅
