    FORWARD FACING REAR SEATS

    I have the old style Exmoor seats fitted. I use the Puma rear seat belt brackets, with Exmoor seat belts. Under the wheel arches I have had to weld in reinforcement plates and captive nuts to mount them onto. For the fixed point for the clips, I welded another plate and captive nut. These seats...

    L O F clutch pedal assist

    Just had a L O F clutches clutch pedal assist kit fitted to my 200tdi Ninety. Wow, what a difference. Feels like I'm driving a well maintained normal petrol car. Hell of a difference. Lol, no I'm not being paid by them to advertise, just thought people with knackered left knees would like to know.

    Anybody fitted one of these?

    As far as I know it's just a straight swap.

    Anybody fitted one of these?

    Apparently the internals are different. But then that's why I'm asking.

    Thinking of moving to the world of landy and getting a Defender 110

    Defenders are awesome. But you should not expect perfection, unless your paying £25k for a 2014/15. I bought a 1989 Ninety, with the original td engine. I bought it because it was £4k, and had a solid chassis, the rest is just bolt on stuff that I knew I would be doing. They are loud...

    TD4 Forward facing rear seat install in 300TDI

    An easier option is to find a pair of the old style Exmoor trim forward racing seats. These can be fitted without significant mods, and will only require some strengthening to mount the seats safely. I have a pair fitted, they're useful.

    Door & bonnet thefts?

    And rivet anything that doesn't need to come off too often, checkerplate etc.

    Door & bonnet thefts?

    A basic Halfords tool kit will remove 90% of parts from a Landy. The door locks can usually be opened by pretty much any key of a similar size, or a screwdriver.

    Door & bonnet thefts?

    That's why I keep my Landy looking like a bag of ****e, no ones interested in it.

    Door & bonnet thefts?

    There are a few companies that do security bolts and hinges for Landys.

    Are these intercoolers any good?

    Eventually, I'm planning on upgrading the turbo, either fitting a VNT turbo, or refurbing my current turbo with an upgraded CHRA, this would be my preferred option, as it's cheaper. Upgraded intercooler and adjust fueling and boost to suit. I'm also considering a performance head.

    Burial mound damage

    No like most people I've ever met. Certainly every single 4x4 driver I've met, well those that don't use them as Chelsea tractors anyway.
