    Glass Rep Please Advise- or Anyone Passionate about our green roads!

    I'm sure this has happened many times before. In Warminster there is a BOAT that terminates in a housing estate. I've checked the Wiltshire CC definitive ROW mapping and the route is open. Today as I approached the end this is what I found. I couldn't get through and was forced to reverse...

    Series 3 wheelnuts

    Why would you introduce anything that could potentially encourage your wheel nuts to work lose?! Do them up FT, and when it's time to lose them use a breaker bar with a decent socket and jump on them. Check them regularly- it's amazing how tight wheelnuts can work lose.

    What to do with my 109

    Potentially rare vehicle! Listen to yourselves it's a Series III 109. The Army would have had thousands of them in service! As for static running, almost certainly. There is no where near enough generators to charge radio batteries. All to often FFRs are left running for days or weeks at a time.

    CB Radio - Help and Advice? Also where you've installed?

    Not strictly true, Antenna length does matter. But the length needs to be matched to the wavelength of the frequency in use. An antenna of optimum length will aid in achieving planning ranges. The Ae doesn't need to be earthed as long as the set is. The coax carries +ve in the core and -ve...

    Looks like you may all be correct. 17 minutes to go. No bids.

    Is this priced correctly for our part of the world?

    Thanks for all your replies and suggestions. I look after it very well and although I dont always clean the exterior nor the interior neither of which are particularly important I always take care of the chassis. I'll let it run its course, and see what happens. We buy any car offered £13800...

    Is this priced correctly for our part of the world?

    I'd very much like to sell my Defender and replace it with a 300 or 200tdi. Ideally a project that I can enjoy rather than having an all to capable on and off road vehicle. The problem is how much is it worth, here it is on EBay and with only a couple of days to go there has been little...

    Adrian Flux Insurance - Unbeatable Savings

    Rang AF just before Christmas and was quoted £330. Brilliant I thought, rang my insurer in January and canceled my automatic renewal- I'm away to Africa when my insurance is due to renew and called AF back. Expressed my interested in taking out policy and was told it would be £600 and that the...
