    Raptor Respray Land Rover 90 Advice needed

    Hi all, hope all is well! I am currently looking to respray my tired looking Landy and have decided to use Upol raptor respray. I'm going to use the pre-made tint packs. I have attached a photo to this thread of my Landy, she has been butchered by the classical rattle can, rather annoying...

    Swivel ball I.D please help

    Ah I see, so the frc2644 is the chrome version I'm assuming?

    Swivel ball I.D please help

    How do you know these things? Thank you so much. I have looked for the frc2644 and can't find any other than ones at an astronomical price. Job Craddock says to use the FTC5105, would this be compatible?

    Better than snapped bolts! The previous owner loved silicone for sure...

    Swivel ball I.D please help

    This is where I'm struggling, the axles aren't original to the vehicle, I have the I.D stamp but I don't think it will help? The I.D is -22L07824b

    Swivel ball I.D please help

    So I've only just gone and ordered the wrong swivel ball. I'm struggling to identify the number I need, there's listings with 'DA' and 'FRC' and axle numbers and whatnot, and I've managed to confuse the life out of myself. I have attached photos of the unit and was wondering if someone could...

    Covid-19 and MOT's

    So I'm in a bit of a predicament, my landy has run out of MOT on the 22'nd of this month and I'm worried I can't get it done whilst lockdown carries on, I need it to tend to livestock. I know the govt has announced an extension but I assume that is for people who have a current MOT, not one...

    VIN covered up on chassis, is it a MOT fail?

    Judging by the response it appears to be a grey area, I'll talk to my garage before sending it in and see what they think. What's the deal for when the vehicle becomes tax exempt, will they need the chassis I.D or what's on the paperwork and master? Thanks for the response everyone

    VIN covered up on chassis, is it a MOT fail?

    Legally it has to have one, I wasn't sure if it had to be stamped on the chassis but as has been answered by Kev and Lynall, you can have it on the master and it will pass. :)

    VIN covered up on chassis, is it a MOT fail?

    Ooo, and why would that be? o_O

    VIN covered up on chassis, is it a MOT fail?

    I have a Defender 90 that has had a replacement chassis off a used truck, I assume that the previous owner welded over the VIN plate so as to not mix them up. However there is a VIN number on the inside of the engine bay attached to the master cylinder which corresponds with the V5 for the...

    Land rover defender headlining is this how it's supposed to be?

    Hi there, Having just re upholstered my headlining I'm currently putting everything back together and have hit a snag. I can't for the life of me get the rear view mirror to go back on. I'm wondering if the headlining should sit behind the flat surface or in front? If anyone could have a quick...
