If you think its an issue with the quality of the vehicle then use your warranty, it's not a dealer issue its down to landrover, any dealer will fix it they will get paid by landrover. Might want a 3 yr old disco 3 when you come round to sell it and wouldnt want to find it had gone rusty cause...

Just read the Solihull Times from the weekend even employees of LandRover make this mistake, a chauffeur in a RRS managed to drown it in the local ford on a shortcut to the Airport with guests in the Car, probably showing off, Even though the ford marker was showing 3ft depth he gave it a go...

Wouldnt do it unless the spare has been moved to a wheel carrier seperate from door, that way the bike rack will move out the way so you can open the door. Slobs right most Safari doors end up knackered due to the spare whhel alone. (With Time)

Envirometalists, If 4x4 are responsible for global warming although there are more large engined company cars on the road than 4x4's, How come its constantly raining, when is the Heatwave summer going to start, will we have anougher drought this year or have thames water fixed their leaking...

The front would be much stifer as rear springs are different to cope with the change in loading front springs loading doesnt change much with towing or carrying, vehicle would sit straight not in use but would lean to Drivers side with one occupant in.

Station Wagon 2nd Row Seats Fold, in the recent ones so rather than removing them you could fold them out of the way, against the back of the front seats. Solves all your problems. Station Wagon will be more expensive but should be in better condition (Less likely to be abused by a commercial...

Joining a cue to get off the motorway and some W~*ker cuts in and causes every one to have to brake,

A TDV8 would be superb, might consider swapping for the new defender with the silly dash then.

Grunts advice about the parking cam is the one, I had it with a TR6 that did exactly the same, and as that nicked its Wiper mechanism from a Landy/Mini I would imagine its the same issue, on that one the cam was spinning on the motor shaft and a new cam was needed.

The three prongs on the dashboard is the immobiliser override, the Fob on your keyring would appear to be as LAZY thinks a transponder for the immobiliser.

chances are its been bypassed due to being faulty or the immobiliser kicks in if you touch the fob on the sensors, my mate has got one on his VR6 that appears to be the same ill ask him how its supposed to work, better be quick hes just chopped it in for a 90

Sounds like an immobiliser system. A lot of the Cat 1 systems have that kind of setup, Pics would help though.

It sounds like you've got a big voltage drop when the brakelights are on. A multimeter wil confirm that. Then chase where the short is. I'd go for the bulbs first, always seem to be the delicate bit in electrics.

Cheers JeremyO Will probably do HOTL, just need to decide which of their vehicles to take round, new Defender to see if it's off roading has been compromised by the engine gearbox, or one with loads of electrical gimmicks.

Well Grunt do you want a bowl of tuna and some Milk. MHM I thank anyones ickle socks I aint american,

The French have culture, and in Normandy where my house is they have an attitude and culture very similar to that of Devon and Cornwall, very Laid Back, however very passionate about things that matter, Yes the french surrendered during the 2nd World War, But Faced with the Army of a country...

The Whole of Normandy in France is a War museum, Some of the buildings still have the authenticate Damage on them, Not to sure their in to DIY out there, they all seem to build a new House rather than do up the old farmhouses, they leave those for the brits to do up.

Side Facing seats do not pass Safety Testing for Crashes and so no longer can be installed by manufacturers, There are Huge benefits to lots of users of the occasional seats being bench type, So I'm sure the aftersales market will do a boom in converting the back end of SW to Bench seats again.

I applied off the LR Website to get a Test drive of the 07 Defender and in the email that came back ive been offered a Half Day at a LR Experience, I live near Lode Lane - Solihull but wonder if any of the other sites are Worth the extra Travel.

Can anyone recomend someone to swap the tailgate on a double cab , or How easy is it and am I better doing it myself.
