    Another heated seats thread

    Thanks, tips on the best place to get these carbon pads from? I assume they just stick straight on to the foam base before the cover slips on?

    Another heated seats thread

    Afternoon all, I have trawled through dozens of threads before posting, but just wanted to clarify a couple of things.

    Defender advice/differences through the years

    Well as an update I did it! 2005 td5, I won't lie I did think "why did I do this" having driven a new truck for the last 4 years but already coming back round and appreciating its not in bad nick for a 16 year old car. My main gripe is how poorly presented it was from the dealer who couldn't...

I need to buy another work truck, currently have a...

    Hi- and dilemma

    Good morning, I am contemplating re-entering the Land Rover world and was hoping for some advice. I have previously owned a 200tdi 90 (owned for several years as my only vehicle and loved it other than constantly being cold in winter!), a 300tdi Disco, TD5 Disco 2, and a Series 2 which is half...
