    disco 1 fog lights

    It has got towbar electrics on so I might disconnect them and see if that m,akes a difference. It's just strange that everything else works bar the fog lights?? I may have to admit defeat and call a proffesional auto electrician

    Pro's and con's of lifting my disco 1 by 2 inches

    The diffs ground out before anything else so bigger tyres would help in that respect.

    Pro's and con's of lifting my disco 1 by 2 inches

    Why do you want to lift it? Fitting heavy duty lift springs means it doesn't wallow as much as people think. You can just about do 2" without having to worry about brake lines and +2" shocks if your not going off road too extreme. That's if you just want the look?

    one shot if diffs?

    I thought it might be like the 2 stroke oil in the diesel trick? A little in the know secret?

    one shot if diffs?

    I know it doesn't leak out of the swivels so would it be better in the diffs?

    one shot if diffs?

    Just a random thought what if any harm would it do to use one shot grease in the diff? Its better in the swivels than EP90 so what would be the harm in a diff?

    inner arch liners

    Put them back in yesterday while I was fitting the diff guards. The difference they make is quite noticeable, both inside and outside of the car. A lot quieter when moving too.

    I'm in Plymouth, a couple of the blokes that I work with told me about it. Although some of it looks a bit extreme I'll just stick to the learner slopes, only just had it welded up so I don't fancy wrecking it just yet.

    How to properly store Land Rover Defender

    How to properly store Land Rover Defender

    If you're going to do it properly it'll take a bit of work. Firstly I'd buy some fabsil and give the canvas a couple of good coats of that to keep it water tight. The problem with TARPS is they can trap condensation in between the truck and itself so unless you splash out on a breathable car...

    300 v td5

    Had 2 300's an auto and now a manual. Had a td5 too for a short period. For some strange reason that I can't really explain the 300 just feels more sturdy and I get a feeling that because of its rough idle and agricultural drive its not going to stop working. With the td5 I always felt a bit...
