    Disgiused me 'too short' wheelstuds

    Can't see what you've done? Painted em? They got caps on or something? Looks alright to me anyway.

    Finding Green Lanes

    Yep, when I get my 90 (going to look at a 1993 200tdi next week, guy wants £1200 for it) I will be spending my time travelling some of my local lanes as per the Wayfinder database with the aim of getting acquainted with my new motor and finding out all the information I can, hopefully will be of...

    Get ready for a noob question!

    Oi, where did I mention 265/75 tyres? I know how the aspect ratio works I just wanted to know if the 255/85/16 tyres would fit a 90 without any rubbing (of the rubbery sort) ;) I did use the search but it just found loads of threads full of people being told to use the search. Laugh? I nearly...

    Get ready for a noob question!

    Yup, so I'm assuming the 255/85s will be slightly taller still? on 7 inch wide rims will they go on a standard 90 without any spacers or rubbing anywhere? If not I'll look at 235/85s instead. I know so far that I want an 85 profile, just not too bothered about the width as long as it clears...

    sound proofing

    Is the Noisekiller stuff land rover fitted though? That might be why its so much more, i imagine its a bit tricky cutting and fitting it to things like underneath your bonnet or round your transmission tunnel. I'm hoping I can get all the genuine plastic trim for the cab, cos I want the...

    Get ready for a noob question!

    When I get new wheels and tyres on mine I'm gonna be going for 255/85/16s I think. Not the most popular choice but slightly narrower and taller so should do the job without any rubbing on full lock. Apparently these are pretty much the biggest you can fit without having any problems? Have seen a...

    Finding Green Lanes

    PM sent mate, the lane in particular I'm looking at I think is passable, I remember walking the dog down it on more than one occasion although the bushes get a bit tight in places and I think it passes through a farm or cottage yard which is something I'm unsure about, I'd rather avoid any...

    Finding Green Lanes

    Thanks a lot for the advice red, I'm only looking in anticipation of getting my nice new defender 90 one day so will most likely be green laning with more experienced off roaders than myself. Is the councils right of way officer the only dude who knows the current status of all byways? I've...

    Finding Green Lanes

    Have joined that wayfarer site but so far it doesn't seem to me much good. I've stuck my grid ref in and it just brings up loads of straight lines which are maybe half a mile or quarter of a mile long each, but don't correspond to any roads or lanes at all and just cut through fields, housing...

    Surprised he hasn't checquer plated it to be honest.

    making a bikini top

    Have you got hooks along the top of your screen? All the soft tops I've seen have a cord running through loops on the front that you hook through the tabs and pull tight.

    Im back;) And wanting your advice?!! (long)

    Hate to say it love but if you're only just getting around to legal proceedings then I don't think you'll have a leg to stand on. I hope you get it sorted though. And Freelanders modified for serious off roading are such a rare sight I quite like the look of them. At least you'll have a...

    kingpin remoulds

    As long as you're not bothered about grip they're okay. Last for absolutely ever but terrible grip in the wet or dry. What you'd expect from a super hard compound remould tyre at the end of the day

    Nice simple fix that cost £0... can't beat em :)

    Which defender for mountain biking?

    +1, always interested to see what tdi 90s fetch in the real world (not auto trader and back of land rover magazine dreamers)

    Red Defender, is it yours?

    I was wondering if it had that numberplate speed camera blocking spray stuff on it that's all.

    Red Defender, is it yours?

    Looks like it's in a car park or compound? Is it a hicap or a tipper or something? EDIT what camera were you using? ;)

    Caravan

    But then if you ever do want to load it to full capacity you won't be able to. Seems a buggering funny way of doing this whole trailer lark. Seems they set out to confuse as many people as possible and succeeded. I was under the impression my 110 had a MAM of 3500kg? If this is correct (which...

    Ridiculous or Brilliant?

    I don't understand why you'd do this. No point chopping and changing engines and heads you'll never get it to run right. You'd spend less time lifting the whole lump out than taking a head off, just stick a tdi in and be done with it. You could find a rusty MOT failure Disco tdi for a couple of...
