    Alloy wheels

    Hi Could anyone tell me if on a 2013 defender with standard steel white wheels, if I wanted to get alloys (potentially black) how does it work? I want to stick with land rover defender wheels. So basically things like: What size? If I buy alloys will the tyres I have fit on them or will I...

    Length of inside roof

    Yea 110 would be plenty, it's more the 90 that's the tight call. Can't seem to find the actual lenth of the roof. Anyone? Thanks

    Length of inside roof

    I've got a few at different lengths. Can put on roof but thinking of extra mpg and also safer when leaving the car Parked. Boards are 6'3" 6'1 and a 5'10". Do have a 7" too but that would be a roof rack jobby if it goes on trips!

    Hi everyone Could any one give me the internal length of the 90 and 110 from back door to windscreen (across the roof) looking to strap surf boards inside to the roof rather than outside on roof rack if that makes sense and need to know this is possible and what length of board it can take...

    Load area in a utility wagon

    I read on here a while back that a rule was if you are carrying more people in a car / van than the number of seats stated on your V5 then it is illegal and insurance invalid?!? That aside, if I was to put in two of those locking foldable forward seats that attach to the wheel arch wouldn't...

    Load area in a utility wagon

    Oh crap...your right! I pretty much read what I wanted to read there! Thanks. Back to a hard top then. What's the deal with say if I fitted 2 forward facing seats in the back of a 110 hard top in exactly the same position as a utility wagon (professionally) and say if I informed dvla and...

    Load area in a utility wagon

    Ooh, that's just made the utility wagon a whole lot more appealing!! 6' to 6'5" If I could get 6'3" out of it that would be amazing and just what I would want! Thank you.

    Removing seats from a utility wagon

    Yea that's the sort of thing I was thinking was good about a hard top like your set up. Thanks for the pic. 2 bolts per chair so in theory shouldn't take too long to take out and replace again?! On another note, do u know if the back seats on a utility recline fully or fold forwards? Ideally to...

    Removing seats from a utility wagon

    Hi, I'm now considering the option of a 110 utility wagon over a hard top. The only reason I am against it is 1-more expensive. 2- I wanted the back space free to put a mattress in on surf trips. So my question is, how easy (if possible at all) is it to remove the second row of seats freeing...

    Defender 2006-2008?

    Right, ok that's interesting / worrying to know. It was the puma I'm looking at as I was fairly sure after checking that anything pre 2007 wasn't allowed in the LEZ. Thanks for the heads up on the gear box

    Defender 2006-2008?

    I don't wanna hear of 10 plates having problems...;) Would I be right I hope in assuming that the doors and windows don't leak like an old 83 3series would? And are considerably quieter?

    Defender 2006-2008?

    Hi I'm still on the look out for a defender 110 hard top, I'm after a post 2006 to allow in the London Emission zone. I thought I had found quite a good one, was year 2007, someone has said to me that as 2006 was the year the new updated defender came out you would be much better off buying...

    hard top and tax, LEZ

    Thanks for the map, though for some reason I can't seem to view it. That's great then if that small section of a127 into m25 isn't LEZ it's perfect. Hard to tll on normal map, plus lots of people saying opposite things

    hard top and tax, LEZ

    Wow-it feels like hard work trying to be a defender owner!! Can anyone shed any definite light on this as could be a potential problem for me: If I'm traveling on the a127 wanting to turn right onto the m25 does this count as within the LEZ? As its actually on the boarder so not sure if that...
