    Softer suspension for my 90

    I have them in front end of my 110 , for when it has snow plough on , they work very well , and if you just have about 5 psi in them when not needed you don't notice them there , other than slightly less roll . In the rear of 110 useful if you put early SW rear springs (soft) and you don't have...

    cheap things ..no good..good things..no cheap

    Land rover parts prices changed at the end of the series 3 before that they were on a cost plus basis, after it was more on what do we think they will stand for eg gearbox under-guard increased in price 500% in one go !

    Propane Injection?

    Front Runner Bonnet Mount Spare Wheel TD5

    from experience a 265/75 is about as wide as you can go on a defender bonnet (dished type) without a view compromise , depending on if you are height challenged :)

    Front Runner Bonnet Mount Spare Wheel TD5

    these will work just as well , whichever you use dontforget to brace underbonnet , using a earlier bonnet with it all done is probably easier course, as they sit higher with a td5 because of the hump , repeat my clearance caveat tho .

    130 availability?

    You can think around £10K+ for a 6x6 conversion on a 130 (you provide) , and that would be without rear steer , and is just the chassis work , have a look at Foleys Specialist vehicles.

    Disco PTO Install

    what he meant was powering the 12v pump from the vehicles electrics using longer leads and a anderson connector set up :) It would be considerably cheaper than fitting a pto pump etc .
