A cage is a always a welcome addition to a land rover, ive had the misfortune of being in a severe accident where the cage genuinely saved my life. Not only that but its been a huge benefit for loading things on the roof! Saftey Devices also...

MOT Yesterday Passed! No advisories 😃😃

I can start my Isuzu engine and disconnect the battery and it still runs. Try that in a Tesla :D

100% agree + Gareth would do a full health check before hand to check all is well. As with anything remapping can highlight any issues with the engine you currently have.

Id give Gareth and Empire Tuning a ring, he can give you the best information for what you want.

Some of their work is so smart. They custom bits they do are lovely

100% that. I was pleasantly suprised when my D44 bumper came and it was exactly as it was when I boughy my old one. Excellent quality

Welding has gone crap with most of the suppliers. Thickness of metal has gone thinner. Most plastics are the same. Nothing built to cope with a few years of abuse

By the way, Allisport is a solid choice — I’ve been running their stuff for a while and it really holds up under pressure. But I’d also suggest giving all your coolant hoses a once-over, especially if they’ve been on there for a few years. I had...

Appreciate the input but I assume youre fairly new to the forum and my threads 😅 Ive had a my fair share of Allisport some is ok some is very good. Personally been through 4 intercoolers, 1 header tank and 2 top hoses and a currently a manifold...

Yeah changed that fairly recently! Haha eventually not just yet though, still recovering from the house and subaru purchase 🙈🙈

Bought an allisport one didn’t you. Couldnt avoid it could you…. Don’t know if you did that weird in-line stat but they’re quite brittle too and worth changing

Never ends does it! Finally been enjoying the 110 again, parked up and my mate said "whats all that red stuff coming out the bottom" FFS 😡 Not another coolant leak!! Quick check and the expansion cap was loose and had become soft and...

Well that is the last of the ABS saga at least for a while! New CV & Shaft. Lights came back... 🤷‍♂️ New sensor in lights gone! Funny how the sensor lasted a year to the day! But its a 2 year warranty so will be going back to Island4x4 for a...

Yup normal. Took the balancer off the front, got some flat bar, rotated the crank till 2 of the bolts where vertical (had to turn the steering full left), marked the bar, drilled 2 holes. Made a cut out for the crank bolt. Bolted the bar onto...

Changed the ABS shuttle valve today. Absolutely hate doing this job, wouldnt be so bad if it was easyto get my wings off 🙈 Through the hole it is! Took about 3 hours and some cut wrists Finally out and replaced with a pre modified one which...

When changing pads i have never had an issue after. Sensor height is set by an air gap. So push it in as far as it goes, spin the wheel and thats that. Bleeding can done as you would a normal car, or you can use powerbleed function on nanocom...

Joy!! 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 3 amigos on a bloody Defender... Its not the brake fluid reservoir connectors already changed those. Nanocom is jumping between shuttle valve failure and drivers side sensor... Could have disturbed/damaged it with the CV work...

After Empire tuning had my new crank pulley delivered in record time I set about changing it. Not actually a bad job really! I did have to make a tool to lock the crank pully in place, eas enough to do. Put it in low range 5th for good measure...

Joy of joys. Thought Id take the 110 out for a a bit, got all of 10 meters before I heard an unsettling slapping noise... And the crank pulley is seconds away from letting go 😮‍💨😮‍💨 So need to replace that now 😒 On the hand made another...

I used to be the same until the price went thru the roof and there was almost no difference in quality to Britpart...

Think they have te opened on a mich more limited basis

Slindon Safari probably the best for an RR. Mudmonsters / Piccadilly wood (Haywards Heath/East Grinstead) would be too extreme for it. Elham Valley in Folkstone

Oem flanges dont have the best tolerances so you do get a fair bit of fretting and transmission slap. Fairly reduced with the HD flanges! Think ill stick with britpart shafts and CVs takes a fair bit of lead foot and shockload to actually break...

Those HD CVs are seriously expensive too. I agree with the above - I reckon if you hadve had cheap members they would’ve cheesed up first. Do you decide where the weakest link is to be and make it the cheapest part lol? Like you said, go HD with...

😂 😂 Yeah standard shafts, that one only went in in December! Tbf I like the look of the HD flanges! They worked well on my old 110. Often talked about is having cheap flanges or even cutting a few splines off them to make them specifically...

love it built in redundacy and sacrificial parts selection due to extreme driver superb!!!!

That’s some torque… think as all your stuff is HD when it goes,it goes well… Form them pics I would say the shaft splines would not give way and expanded while been twisted. Once it was wedged in the stub that’s when it snapped the shaft. (See...

LR has issued a new standard for durability testing the "joshtest' we have yet to see how many suppliers do in this space, News just in ......Britpart and Terrafirma have ceased trading as a result.

Well this is a first, even for me 😅😅 Had a new CV & Shaft delivered to today from Empire, went about swapping it over after work today. Easy hours work or so I thought.... Found the problem, thankfully not the diff!! Forgot my 52mm socket...
