    No one has a point of view on this at all? I'm shocked!

    axle swap

    HI Guys, I'm looking to swap my salisbury axle for something I can get an ATB diff into. Anyone tried the Britpart axles: https://www.britpart.com/all-parts/da1707 I'm always wary of "HD" "Extreme" "Strong" descriptions. Is this birtpart one actually going to be tougher than a reinforced...

    Can't engage diff lock

    HI Tottot, Yep I think the link you describe has already been bent a bit to tighten things up once. I'll see what I can improvise :)

    Can't engage diff lock

    HI Guys, Hopefully an easy one for you all. LT230 transfer box, all nice and shiny from Ashcrofts 5 months back. I can get it lock but it means me getting underneath and assisting it moving over with a bit of wood. It looks to me like the linkage is worn maybe as it doesn't change position...

    Best side steps/rails for 300tdi?

    you get used to them. more of a sideways motion to get into the car.

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    after fitting new wiper "cog-wire", wiper units and arms a couple of weeks back the left wiper progressively got worse until it barely twitched with the wipers on. Drivers side was perfect. As my dash is in a permanent state of easy access I could see that the wiper spindle wasn't turning when...

    Galv. Rear Crossmember Installed!

    won't the steel plate be rolled for a large casting and then welded up?

    Would buying a 1996 90 TDI and attempting to modernise be a money pit?

    lol, whenever I get in a hire car or the mrs Passat I have to pump the seat as high as it goes, I can't stand not seeing the end of the bonnet. It's my daily drive too, 15 miles down the A1 and back every day. I'm surprised by the amount of traffic I have to overtake.

    Peterborough LRO

    Was there yesterday, had a great day. even doing a lap of the car parking checking out the other defenders was worth it for inspiration.

    The new defender!

    This article is worth a read: https://jalopnik.com/what-i-found-when-i-crawled-under-the-2020-land-rover-d-1838080009 Looks like the defender is made up from other LR cars.

    The new defender!

    I think as others have almost mentioned what gets me most is that LR have ignored their rootes and sold their soul. They have no right to claim lineage to their past vehicles and every advert they pump out showing how great it is in the urban wilderness will grate on me.

    The new defender!

    toss pot **** ****tards. Who the **** were they listening too? Lets turn the meat two veg box on wheels into a electronic gadget fest. I was hoping for a dumb version with minimal electronics that would survive having a bag of spanners thrown at it, this ****e is a factory recall on wheels. An...

    LED Headlights

    tried the Ebay route, hugely bright and then failed by MOT 10 months later as the beam pattern was all over the place. Bit the bullet and bought the WIPAC lights in the end. They're awesome! beam pattern is great (and MOT worthy) and I wired the angel light thingys into the side lights (pretty...
