    TD5 with Series doors

    Drivers door now fitted, have to really slam it to get it to lock but works better than the passenger door. New doors and new seals so made get better with use.

    TD5 with Series doors

    yup thats the kit I got, I'm guessing that your landy already had series type doors due to not requiring the glass handles or strikers so no wonder they fitted like a glove.

    TD5 with Series doors

    Thought I'd post a wee update as it's been awhile since I promised before n after pics of the new series doors. It's taken me so long because painting with a roller and hammerite aint that easy do'able just took longer than I thought and then there was the actual problem of fitting the doors. So...

    Which machine mart/Clarke welder?

    Very interested in how you get on with this model as I'm also in the market for a MIG. Was going to buy a no gas one but after reading this thread I've changed my mind. Also interested to know how easy it is to convert from the small throw away gas bottles to the pub size as 10 mins to practice...

    Vehicle Tracking: A Beginners Guide

    I think even a good caravan battery which mine is not would only run the tracker for two maybe three days. Not sure how long the internal battery on the tracker lasts after that must look into it. As for fitting it into the caravan not an easy idea, caravans tend not to have door switches or...

    Land Rover Defender Camper As First Car?

    Really? I use my landy as a daily drive and know plenty who do, esp as owning two vehicles one for daily use and one for play not everyone has the money or the space esp if her indoors needs a car too. As for turning one into a campervan, i'd say keep it simple I've wood panelled the rear...

    Stolen 22nd Oct Defender 90 M159 RAW near Penny Lane

    Interesting to know if it was winched onto a flatbed or not or did they manage to get the pedal lock off before driving it off. My alarm should go off if someone tries to jack it up not sure if it will activate if its dragged onto the back of a flatbed.
