ok so my truck has had a lift at some point in its life using a terrafirma kit. I'm not sure how hight but id guess at 2" you might be able to tell from my profile pic? Anyway, I'm not a huge fan of lifts and the guy who did it didn't add castor corrected radius arms so the steering geometry is...

Pretty epic that Coffee. I really wanted something i can shoehorn a middle seat in with. the boy loves sitting there next to me and the wife.

is it possible to fit some comfy after market seats such as buckets or recaros and preserve a centre seat? Any suggestions. My seats kill me and are really ratty now. Thanks

Only things that may be high value are the Hobson Engineering recon V8 i purchased and dropped in, The new interior, carpet + seats and the set of 5 brand new Cooper Discovery STT tyres / rims. Main reason i thought of stripping is that most people think buying a half done project is like a...

Hi all. Couple of years back i bought a half done project. 90 with v8 that the owner had spent lots of money and done a nut/bolt rebuild but never finished engine, electrics etc etc. Due to change in circumstance i can no longer store the truck or will have time in the near future to carry on...

I'll take a recommendation over anything else. It there a website or username on here?

Ok, I have resigned myself to the fact that I don't have any time or enough skill to complete my project. I have been looking online and there are plenty of companies that offer to source you a vehicle and create you a custom/bespoke defender... Does anyone know of any that would take on a...

Cool cheers.

Can someone tell me what this cable is that comes from the center of the axle? Been checking chassis for holes and spotted one is damaged but not sure what it does

This is what I meant.. The top tube just looks like it bolts on Used LAND ROVER DEFENDER- BESPOKE 2013 BUILD for sale - Classic & Sports Car (Ref Cheshire)

Good idea. Thanks jack

Hi all. Amongst other things I'm fixing my failed mot 300tdi truck cab. My doors are totally shot so was looking to replace. However because I'm going to make it into a weekend hobby car, I'm considering changing for the half cut doors you see on comp safari builds. Does anyone know if you...

Sorry, yeh its a v8 mobile is preferential since it doesn't drive. i tried simmonites but they pushed me in the direction of mountain ash but he's too busy, although he did talk to me for ages and advise on what to do myself, sadly I'm still failing badly.

I thought that made more sense. having trouble finding the hose kit for that. pictures on the internet show right cover venting to atmosphere and the left connected to both SU's via a 'y' split.

Thats a good shout. ill run it again with the bulb on and check the load. also need to work out where this wire is going to and from. I have a spare alt but its a right hand one. not sure if i can slacken the bolts and rotate the housing.

Can anyone recommend a mobile mechanic in the bradford / west yorks area that would be able to set up my carbs and timing. Im beginning to loose the will to live! what was fun to start with is now getting frustrating. Thanks.

I can't seem to find a hose kit to connect both crank breathers to the carbs. Seems to be one case to a 'y' split then to each carb. Does the other cover just atmosphere?

It's an open circuit, as in meter on the spade connector and alt casing measures 18+ volts. It's not a new alt. came with the engine I'm fitting so don't know it's history other than it's from Hobson industries Both large spades are connected together and to the starter solenoid. Fuse wire is...

That's what I thought. Inherited DIY wiring... I'll have to pull the dash out to work out the connections for this fuse. Once it's b blown I get nothing ignition wise such as fuel pump, power to coil etc. it does still crank though. Is the voltage dangerous though

Hi all. Just come to wire up my alternator with a lucas type 3pin plug. Have connected the two larger connectors back to the +12v on the starter. On cranking the ignition fuse blows (30 amp.) I have disconnected and run the engine and checked the output with a meter and it's 18.4v is this...
