Yes, £5 worth of galvanizing on chassis and bulkhead on production would extend their life indefinitely.

Rebuilt my 200Tdi defender 6 years ago. New extended length rear cross member fitted, under sealed and wax oiled at the time. Pressure washed and repeat treatment every year since. Now totally shot - just spent weekend replacing by proper black-sheep item. What a difference, better...

Sorry for late reply, its been that sort of week!! Found some Kumho MTs locally, as new - so I'm sorted for the time being. Thanks. Peter J.

Have you still got the tyres?? I need a pair and would be prepared to buy the set, but dont need the wheels. Thanks, Peter J.

They are a bit short for me. I had a nice hook and loop chain about 10ft long that I had had for years and some low life stole it. So I'm looking for a replacement, I expect I'll have to buy new. Thanks, Peter.

Interested in a chain or possibly two, what length are they? Are they hook one end, ring the other?

I have a defender 90 200tdi with straight through exhaust, tweaked pump and turbo set as per 300tdi; i.e. 1.0 bar max boost. It has run faultlessly like this for the past 25k miles. My air intake system is bog standard with no snorkel or an other fancy bits. I also have a boost gauge...
