I think your right a bit flappy .I will replace with good extended arches if there is such a thing. Thanks andy Ps the paint work is terrible it not been flattened right you can blow it off with a power washer! It getting a full paint .its going blue

I kind of guessed that but they must have drilled hole to pot rivet them.question will standard arches cover the holes made for these one or am I stuck with them

Hi I would like some knowledge on the best way to remove the body complete. What I have is a big garage 5m x6m x4m .I have a beam across the celling with a trolley and block and tackle . lift it with big straps all going to a big shackle or what idea welcome.

I am getting confused . If I make my d2 into a pick up and don't cut the chassis or extend it . It's ok to do or will this involve iva ect. If it involves the latter stuff it I just forget about it. Thank in advance andy

Thanks I never heard it running. Maybe I should recon it.

Hi I going to fit a 200tdi to a 90 1989 the mileage I told was 120000. My dalima is do I just fit it or recon it? I would like some views. Thanks andy

It's 4C SW DT I think it means 4 cylinder station wagon diesel turbo

Well ok thanks I have sent you a message

4c something something before they called it defender I would have said defender but someone would have said that not a defender you have

Hi I would like to make my 4c into a truck cab apart from the truck cab and tailgate ebay I take it is there anything else I need for the floor? Thanks andy

Thanks given me more to think about.

Get some carb cleaner spray into the air intake while someone cranks the engine. If it fires it's not getting fuel. Get a can full off diesel take the pipe off the pump that draws fuel get a new small pipe from the fuel can to the pump and crack open the injectors and turn over . I take it you...

Hi I've look about but can't see any threads about this. I am doing a full rebuild I like the look of the ministry of defender dash but £850 is a lot of money for a dash has anyone fitted one, is it worth it ect or are there better alternatives? Thanks andy

That will just make the real defenders worth more money! People weren't looking for that from a defender I think there just use the name "defender" too sell it will be full of eletronic this and that.

No the bolt that holds the pulley on as well was snapped. It not getting fixed it getting a 200 tdi just posted to let people see . I never seen anything like that before
