Got a quote from Adrian Flux, £650. Still getting quotes.

Chassis already done, managed to get a 7 day period of grace while sorting out the new insurance. LV don't like galvanised chassis!!!

Been getting quotes, best one so far is £460, waiting for NFU to get back to me tomorrow.

They said that it was a modification ! Marsland chassis so original GKN just galvanised

Just got home after picking up the Landy with its new galvanised chassis. Phoned the insurance company and they cancelled the insurance saying it was a modification they won't cover ! The cheapest quote from the brokers was £980 !!! The previous cost was £400 with business cover. Who do you...

Yeah, I'm 53 so if it lasts more than 20 years I won't worry. thanks for the replies guys

As per title, what do you say to your Insurance company once one is fitted and has anyone's Insurance company been negative ? Also, any point in spraying Dinitrol or similar inside ?

Parts catalogue says M12 x 60

Yes, remove the swivel and if there is enough of the bolt protruding use your mole grips or something similar. If not you have to drill the bolt out.

I think that if I ever wanted someone to rebuild a defender I would pick you, cracking job

Apologies for dragging up an old post. Being fed up with my Dixon Bate adjustable plough on my 2003 Double Cab and only doing occasional towing I am interested in the receiver hitch system. Reading all of the above regarding legality and type approval I have realised my Defender is vehicle type...

I'm not a plumber but maybe it's like a turbo hose collapsing under pressure, the braided hoses are easy to replace tho.

Have a look at jetex.co.uk, they supply all types of exhaust parts.

Do they have Halfords in Canada ? Long trip for some tools

I just typed Santana Landrovers and Wikipedia was the first to come up.

Looked at Wikipedia, it looks like a Santana 2000 Forward Control. I can't post links on this tablet thing I'm using just now.

Is it a Santana creation from Spain ?

Wish I had a garage, only got a gravel drive at the side of the house. Good work landy -lee.

The one in landy-lee's first photo is basically a rubber tube much like a garden hose, it is split along the bottom to allow it to be slid over the spring coil.

All I can say is that my springs with the isolators fitted to the top of the rear spring were fitted by the factory.
