    Defender 110 utility dog cage set up

    Defender 110 utility dog cage set up

    Random one but has anyone had any experience fitting dog cages to the back of a defender 110? We run a dog walking business - I have a 110 ex MOD utility and have a lot of space back there but cant work out the most efficient way of fitting 4 crates back there. Anyone? Ed

    Freelander 1 Clutch gone, just got a quote, looking for thoughts.

    nice one thanks Arctic. Will check in the morning what is included in the quote. Good news re the duel mass flywheel, if we chuck that much at her old freelander I dont want any additional surprises! Great help, thanks.

    evening all i borrowed the sig-others Freelander (Freelander 1, 2002 td4) today as I needed to drive a few hours up to Northampton - on the way the clutch went.

    Defender 110 air noise when accelerating?

    Hi guys my 110 has just started making a 'fan' noise when i accelerate- coming from behind the center console - i thought it was my air fan until I turned that off, the noise matches my acceleration. Have looked around on the web and general consensus is that its a blown turbo valve. Its dark...
