As a slight aside was is the actual speed limit on most green lanes? I would assume due to their location it would mostly be NSL? (National Speed Limit) As irresponsible as it might be a landy navigating the green lanes round here at 60 mph would be a spectacular sight to see. Don't think he'd...

Yep, and just because you and your lady can get absolutely downright filthy at times doesn't mean you don't love her too :lvfrench-kiss-008:

Rattling? It should have a thin layer of cultivated moss growing in the runners to dampen vibration and prevent movement, if yours hasn't got some you'll need to buy some more from Land Rover. I don't think it's expensive.

If you stop shagging in the back the windows won't steam up so bad. Probably won't appease the wife any more though.

That's cheap, although I take it you're not getting any no claims discount with them? Footman James quoted me £900 for a K reg 200tdi I'm thinking of buying, have shopped around and thus far the cheapest I've found is £570. I've got three years NCB but three points as well so they cancel each...

You're a bunch of lucky bar stewards with your insurance, on a 200tdi Defender I'll be looking at ~£500 to insure it fully comp and that's in my name with me mam as a named driver, plus 3 years no claims! Being 19 with 3 points on your license sucks balls sometimes :(

And you best hope it's not sideways too!

I had this problem recently, got on my nerves so I traced the fault to my passenger seat where it became apparent that the screaming noise was emanating from the missus. HTH

Since you asked so nicely :welcome2:

Your vote probably still counts but you don't get entered into the draw for a pretty yellow power box. Sorry mate :D

I'm male and read the small print too. I think you need to take your high horse back into the kitchen. Ironic because as a land rover owner I'm probably in more need of a jump start back than anyone else :( bugger.

I make everything myself, always have done always will just don't wanna try the steering guard cos it's the only bit you can see plus a decent one needs allsortsa bends in it. The engineer (ha!) in me is loathe to pay £60 for a bit of bent alloy plate, but if that's how much they are seems I've...

Hey mate, get some pictures up of it, planning to put a steering guard on my new 90, as I used to have an irrational attraction to treestumps offroading in my 110 so my steering rods are more bent than alan carr. Interested to see different types of guards and what they look like but don't wanna...

I ask who was the first person to say this was a windup on the very first page? My powers of deduction are unbeatable. Ahthangyouverrymuch!

Gotta be a windup :D Welcome to the site anyway. You'll soon learn that being 'advanced' isn't always a good thing. Real Land Rovers have been the same for decades, and with good reason. If it ain't broke don't fix it!

Hope you're gonna leave a space with the original ceiling height so you can fit a four poster in? (and I don't mean a bed for any wimmin reading)

Looks like a lovely drive though, was it in the north? As soon as I get rid of my new car and find a new motor I'm looking forward to exploring some local lanes :)

Nice pics, do you mind me asking what size tyres you've got on your 90? Are they 265s? They look a little wider than I'd like on mine, what profile are they? I'm in Bangor and hopefully looking at getting a 200tdi defender next week, if i do you'll have to let me know if you're ever up this...

Busy this summer? You've got a days work sorting that lot out, maybe a weekend tops! Glad it passed though :)

There's the added bonus of not being able to see if your nuts have loosened and the wheel is about to fall off?
