If you don't mind a bit of work then a really good set up is the TLS fronts, S3 servo pedal box with the dual circuit and the 9" (if I recall) servo from an early 90. You have to make an adaptor plate and packer for the servo and get an aftermarket servo with a threaded on clevis so you can...

Yes, there are differences between SLS and TLS brakes, dual and single circuit and the dual and single are connected differently between the SWB and LWB, and the dual masters can have two different threads sizes, but I hope the OP has take all this is into account since they are modifying their...

Agreed, write to the Police Commissioner and the local press.

Putting the VAT on (charging it) with no VAT number - I suspect they are pocketing the VAT. BIG mistake could be a way to get them.

If its old it could be 3/8 or 7/16 UNF but if its modern it could be metric. What does it measure up as?

Don't worry about it, so long as you remember to check the oil and water it will be OK.

The cost of labour will likely kill it. Here's how to do it (outside) Plenty of people. Good weather All the fasters loose and ready New parts all laid out Allow time to make up all the brake lines. Leave all the wiring attached to the bulkhead.

Its odds on only the regulator/diode pack and these can be got a kit for under £20 and its straight forward job to replace.

You need a pair of mirror brackets, they fit the Defender mirror to the series hinge. They are handed and the LH ones are easy to get, the RH are not. Search autojumbles/e-bay or buy 2 LH ones, and hammer the hell out of one until its RH...

It should stop the door at 90 deg but a gust of wind will overcome that and get it stuck. Lie many I have a hook/rod arrangement on the outside.

Very relieved to hear you are out of the problems. Both the car and the dealer had to go. In all that time and 2 engines the original dealer never found the problem.

You should have said:p Perhaps its all that red diesel your estate manager has been putting in it when you pay him to fill up?;)

Go for Wolfs and 235/85, they are wider but still fit the arches and steering lock with no adjustments beyond putting the longer studs in which is an easy job. vintage Voltage did a Series last week and fitted Wolfs and 235s so you can see what they look like. The Wolfs are available new for...

A friends elderly uncle got scammed £6000 a few weeks back, he has dementia and was recently widowed. He believed the scammers were the Police and transferred all his money. When he was asked about the bank checks he said "they told me to say it was to buy a car so that's what I said". In the...

I took mine off, got the full o-ring kit off e-bay for under £20 and replaced the lot. The kit comes with all the seals for the various options. The manual is on the web. I cleaned the bench, put clean paper down, got a jar of clean diesel and a clean paint brush and set to. Took an hour to...

I have 235/85 on Wolfs and they work a treat. There's a lot going for 235/85 - there' a lot of choice, the LT specs have huge load ratings, if your are an overlander I'm told they are available everywhere (unlike the wider tyres) because they are the common small truck size. Rolling rad is...

Agreed, why put a long 6cyl in when you can put a short 8cyl, doesn't make sense.

Why not get a set of Wolfs? More about and still 6.5" wide with the correct offset.

Defender steel wheels fit fine. 7.50 is a good size and its not a huge job to swap to the 16mm suds if you have to.

Yes a search should find it. He did a very thorough job and posted a lot of photos. The Corsa units works fine and I know he is still driving the vehicle without any problems. Have a look at the Corsa unit and see if you have room, probably under the dash above the pedals. You have to cut...
