It probably has difflock, just not the linkage. I may be wrong, but I think any LT230 with the correct ratios will suit you. Defender ones are geared differently for the taller tyres IIRC, so if you run outsized tyres you may want to consider that.

Diesel; engines tend to produce far more torque for a given engine size than petrol. Torque is what counts for towing, not BHP. Gearing makes a big difference too, the reason most land-rover products are plated to tow 3500kg is that with low range engaged, they can make the requirement of...

Because there is less light at night :) Flick the courtesy light on, and it will be far easier to see in than out. Window tints are not a one-way thing. They cut the same percentage of light in both directions at all times. Hence the limit of 15% tint on driving windows. They seem effective...

The point I was making is that the view out of the untinted windows is better than the view out of the tinted ones. This is why limits are placed on the amount of tint permitted on driving windows. The tints do affect vision out, none of us would drive around with sunglasses on at night would we?

LEZ, If you have windows and seats, there is a method of registering it with TFL as an estate, not a van. Basically it revolves around you sending them pictures of the rear seats and windows, however, being drop down seats may not be enough to gain that exemption. It depends what DVLA think it...

Pentagon in New Barnet that does A pretty good job from walking past frequently. I have zero tint at the front, and 99% from the B pillar backwards, along with grilles for the last pair of windows and tailgate with a dog guard to keep everything back there. .It works both ways. This is why...

On a disco the solenoid/valve block is N/S wing behind air cleaner.

Yeah, tried it in youtube directly, I think its my browser and the whole flash/html5 thing. Buffers in Chrome, then doesn't play, and Edge just has a complete hissy fit about it

Got a grid reference including the two letter code? I can't actually make out much on the little snippet on my screen

Suffix C on the plate does not match 1968, should be 65. 2.5l is not a correct engine capacity, for either year. Filler cap wrong, interior wrong? Mirrors wrong? Looks like one of those bung an old plate on a 90 tricks. Ended now anyway

As you brake the loading on the bearings changes slightly, if the bearings are really shot braking can actually move the disc and hence shaft. It is also when there is less noise from other components in the drivetrain meaning other noises are more noticeable. I can't help much further I am...

It's not leaking. Its marking territory

They have a modern OEM look about them too.

I use these, they can be got in 3 and 4 way too, even 6 way for the idea of removing the rack completely. I have used them on low-level bumper lights where they survive wading. The only downside is you are supposed to use a specific crimp tool, I just bare the ends and use little pliers.

MAM of trailer must not exceed MAM of tow vehicle, or its rated towing capacity. Trailers of >750kg MAM must be braked. Overrun brakes max out at 3500kg. Brakes must operate on all road wheels. Combined MAM of vehicle and trailer must not exceed 3500kg, except where the trailer is <750kg MAM...

There is a world of difference between a suspension system designed to run with elastic bands for tyres, and one that is designed to run with flexible sidewalls. Wrong rims + wrong suspension = poor ride. Even when running on proper springs and rims, its a very different ride from most cars...

I'm not sure there is a recommended replacement interval for the water pump, in general, I tend to do them anyway when cam belts are done, even if not cambelt driven.

I got me one like this Has a "follow home" function too in that the lights remain on about 30 sec after the engine is off, and as is required dims the DRLs when the sidelights are on.

When I was in the job, I of course knew people from the special car crime team. This was back in the days before mobiles and personal GPS, so the choices were pretty much only Trakker or Datatrack. It was not uncommon for organised folks to know there were only a few places these could be fit...

Never had a donut fail on me, and only ever replaced one as a matter of routine. UJs, rebuilt replaced several, had the rear one of the front shaft fail, left a great big dent in the transmission tunnel. Most folks don't bother maintaining under there properly, hence the number of dry and loose...
