Interesting I'm going to solar up my shed a few of these would do the trick.

I put the 1:2 in because it seem to have a 1:6 one in which seems very odd. I think the 1:4 would be a better option its a bit long in 1st. I think he is likely to be ok for next year. I'll see how work goes, this is a caviat on anything I do now that I'm self employed. I'll get a picktue of...

I thought I'd put this up Jo is now 27 year old 90. Over the past 5 years this is what has been done to Jo. Galvanised chassis New bulkhead New rear tub All other panels repaired or replaced Respray Then I got Jo when my mate Mick died, then New rear diff, bearings, springs, shocks, drums...

October may be off now due to probably going to Iceland (not the shop).

Hi All, I'm going to run some ceramic block sealent into my 200TDI, is has a slightly porous block. Just wondered what is the best way to remove 100% of the antifreeze in the system. I was thinking of removing the bottom hoses drain, stick a hose in the top of the filler and turn on, keep...

Hi Mike, Ok, the dates work for me, I'll check with Rachel to see if she wants to come, I don't think she will. I'll plan for going, but I will not be going into hot deep desert or up high mountains unless I get my porous block sorted. Chris

Mine has some play in it, at very low speeds in traffic it sounds like yours when I slow and then move on, clunk. I got under it and twisted and played around with it but concluded there is some play anyway. However, when my rear diff started to play up it got very noisy so it was obvious...

Hi, From memory you will need to do about 1,300 miles from the uk and back, 2,600 miles at the cost of fuel. Then depending on the cost of the fuel in Morocco again its just a miles/cost calculation. I think out ferry was about 200euro's Insurance was about 90euro's Then you can either wild...

What would be the dates Mike? Also I assume its going to be down to Tan Tan and a little inland for the off road element.

Defender with Air Con!!!!! Whatever next will sheep start living with dogs. As you can tell I have no idea, sorry can't help.

Sounds like a bag of nuts like mine, so it must be ok. I know this does not help, but I was paranoid about mine but after the 30k miles I've added to the old boy since I got him he is still going along just fine with the whistles and grumbles it makes and 30+mpg.

I agree Mike, people should go. As for a Disco 3, all Dicso's etc are ok as long as they do not break down. For non 200-300tdi vehicles its going to get a little tricker to get spares out there. But then again the cars are a lot more modern. I re-watched the video, I forgot how much fun that...

Well Rachel has agreed I can bugger off on my own again next year, so I'll be doing something, but I was thinking Russia on a Honda 90 or something bonkers.... But I can always drive aroudnd Europe thats easy. Mike, I spend less that £2k, £3.5 was it all the food you had?

Ok, drive it about normally and see if you get any heat out of the blower, if you do not and you get only a slight amount when your doing 70 in my experience its the thermostat. Mine never went over the 1st white bar on the temp gauge until I was going about 65-70mph then it would go up a...

They be my lights on that Morgan

Hi Mike, I replaced all the foam in the heater box etc. but what made the difference was the thermostat. Now, it does need a 4 mile run at 60mph to warm up and if I'm just doing 30-40mph local it does not really get very warm. But at 60mph when it gets up to temperature its warm now...

I fixed my heating system, now its toasty.

I got these ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/land-rover-defender-7-Black-Crystal-LED-High-Out-Put-Head-Lights-great-quality-/282258408274?hash=item41b7e98352:g:x9UAAOSwmfhX7qNQ Cheap and work, dead easy to fit; however, lets see what Mr MOT chap says next year.

This is a little deja vu. I fitted LED lamps a little while ago and some spots and they are great. Lets see what happends next year at the MOT.

My guess would be if your lucky a head gasket, if not then you have done the head. I'd do the gasket and get it checked as well at the same time.
