Oh dear, I'm not having a good day! I've just been told that my 2000 Freelander's OSR chassis crossmember has partially detached itself from the chassis! I've also been told that they should be bolted together but, somewhere in it's past, it had been welded. It's now making a horrible noise...

They first got in touch of me via a Land Rover specialist who knows me and my car. That was for the Sky One series. Since then they have kept me on their database knowing that I'm okay with them using it, especially as they move it around on a trailer, rather than drive it about. Slime58

Got my car back today after it's been away for a couple of days with a film crew. It's been hired by a film company who are using it for a few scenes in an upcoming film called Criminal. No official release date yet, but, it's starring Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Oldman, Ryan Reynolds, (currently...

My 300tdi does struggle somewhat, especially up hills, at times it's quite laughable! Slime58

What is 'not cheap', what results have you noticed and where is Alive Tuning based? Thanks Aaron, Slime58

His is a 300Tdi in an automatic Disco, my mate's is a TD5 manual Defender. Thanks anyway mate. I'm assuming that the de-cat and EGR trick would be worth doing first, is that correct? Slime58

Hi all. A mate of mine has just bought a Defender County with the TD5 engine. He wants me to find out what can be done to improve performance. His main issue is getting it up to cruising speeds, once there, all is good. Going up hills is also a bit of an issue ............ apparently. Are there...

I have absolutely no idea ....................... but they are! Most of his journeys would be pretty local but maybe one or two trips a year to Scotland! I said that might get a bit expensive & explained that when I went to the Highlands last summer my Wolf returned 40mpg whilst full of luggage...

He's already got one of those but doesn't want to see it getting abused by his three gun dogs covered in mud! Good shout though, thanks .................... and thanks to PsYcHOSyS too. Slime58

Hi guys. A mate of mine is looking for a Defender 90 to put dogs in and generally be used as a workhorse. What bothers me is that he's looking at a petrol engined automatic! I'm trying to persuade him to go diesel due to running costs and possible reliability ..................... but I've got...

Hi mate, I've just seen your thread from Feb this year. Are you still looking for a Wolf? If so, have a look at this, http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/project-wolf-227968.html Interested? Slime58.

If anyone is interested, I've just worked out the fuel consumption during my 1500+ mile trip to Scotland and it averaged out at 34.9mpg. I think that's very good considering some of the roads we travelled on. The best leg was from the Lake District to Fort William during which it managed...

I'll do my best ................. I should be seeing him soon. Slime58.

It's not just Defenders ................ it's anything Land Rover ................. and I mean anything! He's even got several prototypes! Slime58.

I don't think he's a member, probably doesn't have time. Oh, and he's so knowledgeable it's astonishing, and a really nice bloke too! Slime58.

Wow! Great place for a Wolf, although I think it's hotter here right now. I've not had the roof on for over three weeks now, marvelous. As I type it's 34º C and I'm really struggling with it! Did you get my PM regarding the price? Speak soon, Slime58.

Okay, that's great. What's your price & where are you based? You say 'nearly new', how old is it & when did it come out of it's donor vehicle? Oh, and I'm assuming that it works ! Slime58.

Hi all, I've recently responded to a PM I've received but I've had no reply back. I've also PM'd him, but again, no response. I don't think he's getting my messages as my sent box is still showing empty. What could the problem be, as I need to respond to his original message? Somebody help me...

Where is here? Slime58.
