What is the score with MOTs whilst travelling abroad? We're aiming at travelling around Europe for two years and don't intend returning to the UK.

When we got our 110, we ripped the carpet out of the back. The floor was beyond repair. It was a pain in the arse to sort out but now, at least, we have the confidence to know it is sorted.

Have you checked underneath the ply board? Might not like what you find!!!!

If you were to ask what repairs individuals have done, you could ascertain from any given manufacturing year what has been done. As an example from a sampling group of 100 in 1988 25% of the respondents stated that they had replaced their chassis. Although this would only provide some very...

If you meant to walk on the roof I'd definitely buy a roof rack. When we pack the tent, my wife stands on our cold box and tucks the material away.

What do you use under the mattress in your roof tent to minimise condensation?

Our trip around the Highlands lasted four weeks. The wife booked a campsite for every second or third night. When we arrived we asked for recommendations for the next night or two. Everyone was so helpful and eager to offer advice. The views were stunning and we even ended up on the Orkneys...

I prefer roof bars as I can take them off or add another by myself. I have a 1.8 tent at the moment which I mount on three bars.

Dunning, is this an under or post grad? You could take a large sample group using a sampling tool. The recipients could complete a series of questions including have you changed the chassis, engine etc etc. This data could be triangulated with data from JLR or other similar sources. I suspect...

Outstanding thread. I've been looking at converting my rear axle from drum to disc for a number of years - never found the time or funds! Nonetheless I've acquired (free) a new set of discs and a set of front calipers. I had thought of buying a set of red-winche double piston caliper brackets -...

Outstanding - you're a magician.

Through a strange course of events I find myself in Crete for the next 12 months. I'm living near Chania. Seen plenty of Defenders and the odd series. Mines back in blighty so I'm well jealous everyone I see one. Anyone out here?

Haven't been on here for ages due to work commitments. Anyway, I find myself away with time to contemplate further modifications...... I've just this thread from start to finish. There are some really interesting and innovative solutions that don't hurt the pocket. Never been completely happy...

Looks great - well done

I have a spare one you can have, collect only

If it is at the right money buy it.

A bit dark, will try later this week. The pipe runs top to bottom in the shot. The small rubber pipe is my temporary fix. I'll measure the outside.

To the lift pump. Black plastic pipe.

I recently noticed a drop or two of diesel when parked up. On investigation the fuel pipe had a small split on the bend just before the pump. I've done a bodge with some old pipe and jubilee clips but am looking for a proper fix. I'm thinking about a double ended tail connector but am unsure of...

Might have a spare top one in a box.
