    Stolen 1991 Defender 90

    Disco2Shaun is right, I mean if you spend a couple of hundred on some security equipment, they're going to go to the nice unlocked Land rover next door! And with the truck to haul it away, won't there be a racket with a 7 ton lorry outside your house dragging your landrover onto the back at...

    ringer of all ringers

    What a poor sight it is, A Land Rover tied up with this thieving b*****d. I need to sort out the locks on my defender and put proper security devices in it because this crime is becoming out of hand and it'll be an awful tragedy for idiots like him to have hold of me defender. The only security...

    Foot rest for clutch

    Chuck away the brakes and use the break pedal as a foot rest. If you gain speed and can't loose it use the nearest car or wall for a real good stopping device.

    Clutch replacement

    Ok I think I am conviced, I am in the mind to do it myself because I will save lots and lots of money because it can break as many times as it wants and it all it will cost is a new clutch and my patance not my dignity and my wallet with this cowboy :D By removing the engine and getting it...

    Clutch replacement

    Now you put it that way you make a really good point, I have a very limited number of mechanics around where I live as the Landrover won't make it far on the hilly terrain. The prospect of me doing it myself is looking more and more likely but I don't have any knowledge in the subject so I will...

    Clutch replacement

    I have a dilemma. I wrote on a local forum about if someone can replace my clutch at a lower price than a garage, I had someone who told me of a Land rover enthusast mechanic that can do it who is good, then someone said he was dodgy. I then asked people how hard is it to remove the clutch...

    What do people think of the turbomag fuel saver magnets?
