    Is this a scam?

    seems to be a copy of sp 4x4 advert. https://www.sp-4x4.com/SERIES_DOOR_CONVERSION_FOR_DEFENDER_p/defconv1.htm weird.

    Britpart Swing Away Wheel Carrier

    I have one fitted (think it's the britpart one). I fitted it 6 years ago, hasn't failed me once, and I have done many many miles and lived out of the car for a good few months. Only think I have has to do is spray a little grease into the hinges so it doesn't squeak. Maybe done that 5 times...

    Defender 110 TD5 Radio Electrical Issues

    did you change any of the wiring or was this just unplugging the standard fitting and putting something else in?

    What is this...? SOLVED

    I have a bucket of bits. Most are of no use and some I've happily given away. But what the hell is this thing? I think it comes with some bolts, that I have in a bag, but no idea what it's for.

    Creating a double cab pick up from a county

    I had a DC made from a SW. The roof will be your first issue. If you look at it carefully you will need that the roof on a DC doesn't just END, it curves down. So if you want it to look right, thats your first issues. I have seen ones before that have a rear roof curve from a single cab, riveted...

    Tail lights not working

    I something simular to this recently. The fuses (old class type) in mine where not reliable and I cleaned the connectors and replaces, this then made the lights work 99% of the time.

    Roof tent fitting advice

    A RTT is defonetly an expensive way to go, but unfolds quickly, a nice thick matress, great views and you are off the muddy, stoney, uneven ground. If you are always at UK campsites then on, but go to eastern russia and it's the best thing.

    Roof tent fitting advice

    I have had mine opening over the rear for a 3 years, recently changed to opening over the side. 1) if you have an 'annexe' skirt then you need to have the hinge positioned right above, or even over hanging the rear so that the material doesn't foul the rear body. If you don't have an annexe...

    P38 to Norway from St Malo, France.

    yeah I've done a lot of that - even with a roof top tent. Scouted ahead to find a rest area that was all greenery and not actually services, and no one bothered us.

    Looking for the name of a part

    FYI depending on what you want, sides for a 90 are not expensive. many second hand pop up. you might just find replacing the whole sides is easier if there is any other work needed on them.

    My wife was taking the picture. So I can confirm that guy was eyeing up the landy and was feeling proud.

    Right as a closing statement... before.... After... Things I've learnt. - Cut away the minimum you can. Small piece, just because the repair panels come in nice big sections, doesn't mean it's easier to use the full thing. Small bits keep the shape and are easier to weld. - Overlap the...

    there is a good gap between the 'vents' area and the bar. Photo doesn't show it. Plus the cage is not yet in it's final resting place. Will be lower.
