    Defender TD5 110 CSW Seat Belt Replacement

    Hi all, hoping someone can help me with a question. I am replacing my front seatbelts as mine are tatty and the anchor plates are quite corroded. Can anyone please confirm the size of the bolts that secure the anchor plate in the bottom outer corner of the seat box? The only ones I can find...

    Defender 110 vs D3 Dilemma

    Great views from all of you, many thanks. Still the 110 I think. I can cope with the cramped front, I'm only 5' 9, so enough room for me. The noise can't be any worse than all the vans I used to drive in the early 80s, and soundproofing I'm sure can help. It also think I'm more likely to invest...

    Defender 110 vs D3 Dilemma

    Thanks Marmaduke. I drove a Defender once may years ago from Plymouth to Birmingham, it was a 200 tdi from memory, and best compared to driving an old Bedford van. I've driven many old vans over the years, the unrefined noisy engine doesn't really bother me much (it may bother Mrs Pliers). Is...

    Defender 110 vs D3 Dilemma

    Hi all, I'm looking for a bit of advice please, apologies in advance for the lengthy narrative. Further apologies if this is a FAQ that crops up every time a newbie comes along. We plan to buy either a Defender 110, or a Discovery 3, and I'll explain our dilemma. We want it for touring in U.K &...

    Evening peeps

    New to the site. Hi everyone. I don't currently have a Land Rover, in fact I've never owned one unless you count having a Disco 1 when they first came out for a month which was a works prize. but will be looking for some helpful advice for purchasing a Defender 110.
