    Seat bulkhead chequer plate question

    If its extra srorage you want why not get an old fuel tank, cut the top off and fit it in the aux tank position. Instant tool box and no buggering about.

    Series tyres

    Yes I was talking about a 109, when I first set the steering locks it was when the 7.50s were on it, I didn't need to change that when I put the 265s on so no change to the locks and still a pain in the Aris to park.......actually backing in is a lot easier than forwards.

    Series tyres

    When moving it doesn't make any difference what size tyres you've got, mine is as easy to use with 265 metric or 7.50 imp. With a turning circle like an ocean liner getting into tight spots is just the same with or without power steering and/or metric or imp. tyres.

    Might also be at the rear left side or on the right where series numbers are stamped, all pretty arbitrary.

    Defender is uncontrollable when driving through puddles / standing water

    You could try reversing through and see if that makes a difference.

    Series tyres

    Those are good for trucking around fields but noisy and crap on the road, not lethal at normal series speeds but pretty slippery in the wet. Rangemasters are pretty good allrounders. I just put some Radar Renegade 265/75/16s on my series 3 ex mil and they seem pretty good in field and on the...

    What gearbox is this?

    The props will look like that till there's all the weight back on it.....you should have seen my series 3 ex mil I thought it was going to clank as it went down the road, needn't have worried though the noise from the engine drowns out everything else:D

    What gearbox is this?

    Hmm starting to think I should go with a proper chassis for the year and modify the engine mounts. I want it to qualify for tax/mot exemption in a few years and don't want to come unstuck later. I'm asking Richards and Terraintech if they can do a 300 tdi mount and lt77 crossmember on an early...
