    I have already. They all state "not to be used off road" "not to be used a bash bars" etc.... Already looking into jeep/G Wagon styl that retract underneath out of harms way. Shockingly not much from ole AliEX will just need proper mounts fabricating and waterproofing the electrics. Plus...

    Been looking around for some rocksliders as the current side steps where always going to be temporary. Decided to move away from the usual tubular design and go for a more boxy look, however they tend to be rather expensive! Then I remember I have a steel fab workshop 😅 Only a 2D flat...

    Had a few spare moments today, quick wash and polish. It cleans up very well for 21 years old, definitely not perfect and in desperate need of a proper cut and machine polish but it will do! Especially as im going to Salisbury next weekend 😂

    LT230 with difflock

    Appreciate the links but I know what ratios I want. 33" tyres + higher 5th and a 1.3 make for an exceptional drive in a tuned TD5. And very good mpg

    1.3 was never standard i know thats a longshot! Its not for me, for a mate who has a 1.6 but its a little noisy wants a 1.2 or 1.4!

    Finally managed to get another set of seat runners for dirt cheap for my rear seat project. Materials wont be alot sub £100 Just got to strip the runners off the old seats and fit them to my old front seats. Fix the heated seat connectors back on, because i stole them for my bucket seats...

    Not many updates on the car front. Been very busy with well life 😅 Sadly wont be going to Marquenterre this year - Its almost as if I can never go with a kitted car with a VNT its been 5, maybe 6 years everytime somethings gone wrong! However as we where all booked off anyway decided to go to...

    VNT Turbo - Worth it?

    VNTs are great. Mines at full boost (2.5bar) around 1700rpm So plenty of power on the lower end as well however mines all done by Empire Tuning. I wouldnt recommend anyone else.

    Defender 90 TD5 Roof Load.

    Dynamic load driving is 150kg. Static load is high based off the rateing of the roof bars

    Steering lock / alarm problem

    Press the left button on the fob that turns the immo off, before you try and start it it If the steering wheel is locked in position you have to wiggle the key while turning the wheel to disengage

    Defender TD5 AC

    Not the usual thread! My AC does work, has a larger condenser and a 15" Spal fan, which also does work - When tested with the Nanocom pulse AC Fan function. However ive never had it come on, as I understand it its thermostat controlled. Is there anyway to lower the temp it kicks in at?

    Nigel hand delivered my diff today! Old one out and new one in! Just over an hour, almost as if ive done this many times before 🤣🤣 Dramatic improvement to road manners. Much better cornering, much better traction and its balanced out the front ATB so no more oversteer! Wired in my roof...

    Xcess4x4 Ultrabuild Rear ATB! All built and ready to go! Nigel is nothing short of exceptional. He was concerned about a slight click and not 100% engagement on two teeth. So rebuilt it again with a brand new new Dana CW&P... Talk about service!

    Honestly no idea! I just fill with my pump till it drips out but i strongly suspect its about 2L as opposed to 1.7L Surprisingly not! I only did the front as I needed a new axle anyway. So the rear will just have a wrap around diff guard like everyone else 😅😅 Just did a 60mile drive...

    Well that was an exhausting day! So much for my mates 5 hour estimate 🤣 Took about 10 hours including a tidy up! But all done. Nothing was reused everything is new, or was recently new. Wasnt too bad getting everything off as it had all come off before... New and old. Decided to fit the...
