Sounds like breakfast is sorted but which lanes are planning to use?

I had a windlass on my series but it ran off the front pto, not hydraulic.

Mudstyler, Can you explain what '90 degrees out' means? I keep tearing my trousers on mine :-)

Alloys, big tyres, winch, roll bars, roof rack and a rope to tow it away! The pikeys will love all that.

If you drove at 50-55mph on a 70mph dual carriageway on your driving test you would fail for 'failing to make good progress'. Driving on a motorway in a slow moving Land Rover is irresponsible, use the A roads.

My 90's heater is great after about 30 minutes and the gaps around the doors let the water trickle out. 100% :-)

You are welcome, saves reading a lot of rubbish :-)

Fat tyres on the road are noisy. Off Road tyres on the road? Why?

Tap the New Posts tab, near top left. Then tap Mark all Forums Read. Job done :-)

Why do you want wider tyres?

:-)

It's not just the engine size, your age, new driver, type of vehicle, location all count against you. If you manage to get a quote it will be thousands. Try putting an old git with max no claims on the policy as a named driver. Not the other way round!

Don't drive faster than 50mph, job done :-)

You'll never get it insured.

Just like mine! Lay down on your back inside and push the roof up with your feet. If you are short, use a bit of lumber and a car jack to ease out the dent.

I've got a clutch claw which is easy to use (after a few days) and well made. Not a total solution but every bit of extra security helps.

Er1c, The water runs out under the door :-)

Most of the noise from mine was being caused by loose bits and junk. There were coins behind everything, loose jack and wheel wrench, door cards loose, radio wobbly, A joint knocking, spare wheel rattling on the back door, dash loose, battery not secured. . . . I couldn't hear the engine! All...

When I bought my hardtop it was lined with plywood. I ripped it out and removed all the floor mats and foot well linings. Most of the rattles were from the jack and dash. Oil change and diesel additive quietened the engine a bit.

It's just a bit of foam with instructions. Any money spent trying to reduce noise or stop leaks on a Defender is wasted.
