Are they made of steel? I have been looking for some for my facelift, but can only find plastic ones, which seems a bit pointless......

Thanks, I am very pleased with it :)

Why does one come up like this when you've bought one? :rolleyes:

Hi chaps Don't want to hijack a very informative thread, but I have just bought a TD5 facelift. Must say I should have done it years ago, absolutely love it. Always wanted a defender, but went for a Disco and so glad I did. Apart from a small water feature which is either the front sunroof or...

Just a tip from a newbie, I attempted the oil pump bolt on Friday. Get the cross member bolts out first as I had to abandon the job as I couldn't budge 5 of the 8 bolts, and had stupidly already drained the sump of oil. Lesson learnt

Attempted to do the oil pump bolt today, gave up after two hours trying to get the crossmember bolts out, Grrrrr!!!! Now will have to drill and tap the bolts out, still, first chance to have a good look underneath and am very chuffed at how clean it is. Will probably give the underneath a good...

Will have to see how it affects the insurance :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Thanks for explaining :-)

I have asked the question on another thread about fitting a bull bar type thing, similar to this, which is also in my watching page. I'm under the impression that these aren't technically legal? Can anyone clarify? This front bumper is cheaper than replacing my headlights ;-)

I've already got a list mate! And I haven't even checked all the fluid levels yet!!!!

Had it a week, done 100 miles today, still in love!!! I own that road!!!

Cool, that makes sense, what does the lower part fit into?

Be someone else mate, I've only had mine a week :rolleyes::rolleyes:

You got any pix?

I've looked at the security bars, the only ones for sale are Jaw eng'? Erm, a little steep price wise for what they are......?

So basically, I'm not allowed to fit a bull bar, roo bar, cow catcher type thing to protect my headlights?.... I've also looked at the plastic headlight 'protectors' which are held on with self tappers, meaning you have to drill the wings and nothing to stop the scabby oxygen thief from...

Like I've said mate, this is a very steep learning curve for me :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Something like this?

So are 'bull bars' not legal in this country then? Sorry for the idiot questions

Ok chaps, can some of you explain brush guards, winch bumpers to me? I may be looking at swapping the 'pedestrian friendly' soft A bar thing for a brush guard. Nothing too massive, but enough to offer some more protection and hopefully stop any scrotes from taking my headlights. I'm a little...
