    True. I was filming sunday's antics though, so here's a screenshot of that

    Defender Bender: My 110

    Picked up the roof rack today, had to duct tape it to my current roof bars as two of the brackets were missing, and then crawl across town to the garage. I'll try and get some pics when I can, but the plan is to remove the bars that are fitted to it (Which themselves have seen better days) and...

    Tea Leaves an assorted thievin' pikey's

    It's been mentioned before, but to me it certainly seems that if someone wants to steal your car, they will do so, and your best bet is to buy the appropriate insurance. Everything on my car is declared and I trust my insurance company by the reputation it has had with people I know. It's not...

    Defender Bender: My 110

    Thanks, yes I can envisage this costing me a fortune, oh well, I'd only waste the money on food and other boring stuff anyway! Today whilst moving stuff out of my house, my neighbour (Who used to own a blue 90) offered me his old disco roofrack for free, how kind! Will have to see if we can...

    Defender Bender: My 110

    Thought I should start a thread on this rather than just using my intro thread (Here: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f20/good-day-193050.html ) At the moment I'm caught up in a house move, the load space has bee brilliant to say the least, chucking all sorts of furniture in the back with no...

    1986 110 Parts for next project.

    I saw a couple of front doors (With another for spares) on ebay last week but think the listing may have finished. This any good? land rover defender 90/110 front passenger n/s door | eBay Also with any luck I'll be doing away with my front seats soon (Providing the replacements fit) if you're...

    We've had lots of trouble with seagate drives, and a few western digital ones. The ones I use for external video backups now are Freecom Quattros - you can get them in 2TB form, and they have USB 3, Firewire and SATA connectors on. We don't tend to use internal RAIDs any more since we've had 2...

    Good day

    Ha! Fair enough. It's only in the last couple of years it has started so I suspect it may be the roof seals. That, or the rusty hole in the bulkhead perhaps.

    Good day

    Which ones are the gay ones? Should I hold off on the pink tinting spray?

    Good day

    That may well correspond with what a friend told me - that engine oil doesn't do any good until it's up to temp, which is when it's under load, so when you hear the story about the old geezer who had his car for 15 years and started it up every month without driving it, he wasn't actually doing...

    Good day

    Cheers lads. Yes - it is a different driving experience for sure, the landy feels twice as fast though, possibly due to it having to the aerodynamic properties of a housebrick. Just downloaded the water ingress manual to figure out where the water is coming from that handily pours over my leg...

    Good day

    Well it hadn't been moved in six months (Apart from a brief trip into town a few weeks ago). Left it to warm up for about 15 minutes before driving it, wasn't too smokey then. From what I've been reading on here, it sounds more like turbo or possibly stem seals than piston rings? Oil level is...

    Good day

    Finally got the machine! Made the journey from bristol up to scotland in my trusty nissan, dropped that off, and drove the landy back. Loving every minute of it so far. It's got a few holes and leaks around the place but the chassis looks pretty solid at least. Looking forward to being a part of...

    I do remember (On another kind of car), a K and N filter was dyno tested against a standard one and the engine lost power.

    Good day

    Ha! Well whatever it had, it doesn't have them anymore. Possibly 'air brakes' was one of those things that gets lodged in your mind when you are a kid, and it's not until someone questions it when you are older that it seems silly. It's the two mystery switches on the dash that always puzzled...
