hi all, First off, I know diddly about winches! I’ve been told of a Superwinch husky (not sure which variant so let’s suppose it’s an ‘8’) that is for sale for a ‘sensible offer’. I have no idea what a sensible offer is but I do know that it is currently not fitted to a vehicle, has remote...

I had one that only lasted a few weeks but I got it exchanged. The replacement has lasted 2 years so far.....

Atlantic green is a gorgeous colour (in my eyes at least). If I ever have my 90 painted all nice as opposed to it’s current shabby chic flakey nato green, it will be Atlantic green out any doubt!

Could you stretch to this http://www.paddockspares.com/pm1035-def-bonnet-protector-2mm-superior-chequer-plate.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhOexypz32gIVpbvtCh2tXQ0QEAQYBSABEgI1R_D_BwE For the bonnet? Maybe one on eBay or summat? Just a thought. Etch prime and a flash over with black rattle can...

Military sliding windows are loads better than ‘normal’ ones. IMO the rack needs to come off, and as Flat suggested can be used as a negotiating point when selling. The roof needs to be blue or black, the snorkel needs to be black and the additional mirrors on the wings need to disappear. I...

I have 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 9/16”, 15, 17, 18, 19, spanner’s (2 of each) as well as 22, 24 spanner’s. A small and large flat head screwdriver, snipe nose pliers, normal pliers, side cutters, small pipe grips, external circling pliers, knife, adjustable spanner, small hammer, punches and a small...

Wish there was a place like that near me! I’d love a 101

It doesn’t take very long to overheat if the engine is already hot. My alternator seized and stalled the engine :eek: so I popped the belt off to move off the road and after 100 -200 yards the temperature had shot up. Anyway, hope your issue isn’t too serious. Let us know what you find.

They are........it’s just that I was so excited to rip into the disco I forgot to epilady!:D

With the belt off check all the pulley for security and giv then a wiggle to see if any bearings have gone. Alternator and pas pump can make a right racket when they go for a burton

I’d guess water pump too. Although the belt passes fairly close to a coolant hose at the top so it could have ridden up and worked it’s way through that. Or you cooked it because the belt came off and stopped driving the water pump.....

Glamorous? Aww shucks:oops: :D Was a good day and a pleasure to help!

Stunning! Love pic5 (black and white), and the last (drone?) pic.

Do you mean the breather / cap on the rocker cover that has a pipe to the air filter coming from it? If so the seal can be had from Paddocks but it probably still won’t seal. I ended up removing the seal, wrapping tape around the area on the cap where the seal sits to increase its diameter...

I made a cradle as in this post on another forum https://www.aulro.com/afvb/90-110-130-defender-county/247514-lt230-jack-lifting-mount.html It attaches to the cover plate bolts under the transfer box and provides a flat face to enable the use of a trolley jack. Having someone guide the box from...

I would suggest that it’s going to end up as a project for you or the next owner. If you are going to keep it I would make sure the chassis, mechanicals and bulkhead are A1 before thinking about the cosmetics. Any potential buyer, if you go that way, will see the chassis has had work and then...

It was a fab way of choosing my Land Rover! Pure indulgence!! I used the same method......chassis, bulkhead, mechanicals then body. Body is still shabby:D:D

It’s a lot of money for an old vehicle and that is the first thing to get your head around! After that it’s accepting that it’s an old vehicle and it will have issues. The biggest expensive issues are easy to find and see though (rust etc) and there are loads of vehicles out there to look at so...

Seems to go well and it sounds ace!:D

They are likely stuck on with sikaflex or ismilar panel adhesive. Hopefully not silicone!! Fishing line or kruse wire will be best for removing it from the wings but getting the remains of either panel will be a mare. Not a problem if you are refitting the chequer plate! Mine hides a multitude...
