I've tried steering guards, got fed up with them either causing the front to lift in mud and snow meaning loss of traction, or when reversing out dragging so much into them I get stuck!! I then went to Sumo bars and never looked back. I have now bought one of these LAND ROVER DEFENDER...

Panhard rod bushes

I run on 34 front, 38 rear. Cooper ATR's and Cooper STT's

Before you get totally slammed, maybe a bit of a "Hi there, i'm so and so, I drive a ??? etc etc before coming straight in with a request for help. Also the search function is usually really helpful!! Is this a Tdi or a Td5?? Things like this don't normally just "give way" There is...

Sounds like something interesting? I remember reading somewhere about some 2 wheel drive Landrovers done as staff cars for the military, so you may be right, however what makes you think it should be Tax exempt? The military also had series III's of which very few were tax exempt.

I'd say its the other way!! My 200, even on muds, roof light bar, winch etc still returns me 29 mpg, but my 300 on road biased (Cooper ATR's) rarely does better than 25 mpg!

Hugely varies. This morning as I set off it was Spring from Vivaldi's 4 seasons, then came ACDC with Hells Bell closely followed by Christy Moore, Eric Bogle, Zeppelin Stairway to heaven, Bon Jovi, Dolly Parton, The Bluebells with Young at Heart, Big Country, Glen Cambell and as I parked up...

Don't know, try these guys repair panels and body mounts for all Landrovers, including Range Rover Classic, Defender, Series, Discovery Lots use them and only hear good feedback.

I also did mine buy pushing the box back and resting on the cross member, definately made easier by the fact I was working in a mates pit!!

I guess it really depends on how good a welder / fabricator your brother is?? If he rebuilds it onto good metal to look like the factory job and has bloody good welds then yes, it'll be safe, but if he does a half arsed job like it sounds the previous repairer did then no!!

Learn something new every day!! ;)

LOL, thats inside Landrover tolerences I reckon?? I had a mate that measured his wheelbase on his 110 of 1989 vintage, it was a whole inch shorter one side, but the vehicle tracked true and straight with no adverse handleing and no uneven tyre wear!!

Yes they are, but if they don't have the proper kit then they don't (or at least my tester doesn't!! ) In fact, I've asked around round the area and out of 20 MOT stations round here NO ONE!! has the proper kit to put in the boot! I've not noticed the single blink? As said above I had a...

Do you?? I assume you are talking about a 300 here? In which case the ABS light comes on when started, but does not go out till 5 mph. The MOT is a static test. Therefore "in theory" the tester cannot fail you for the light not going out (unless he is a clever bugger that puts a...

Check my post on the other brake thread you have running, sounds very like the same as my issues.

Sounds like a previous owner may have had probs and rather than deal with it they have just removed the bulb!! It may be a sensor issue, I've had this recently with mine and it turned out to be the front O/S sensor. The symptoms were sometimes when I pressed the brake (didn't matter soft or...

You say that like we don't know!! The crucual part is that the vehicle you have is NOT as old as this!! Its a ringer, that is illegal. Check all the replies so far, what you are doing is breaking the law and avoiding TAX. When revenue and customs catch you they will sieze the vehicle and...

Not being funny here, and it usually pees me off a little bit when people come on with their 1st post and there is a rash of abusive posts to the poor bugger cos he/she was to lazy to do a search 1st, but in this case I will make an exception............... What the **** are you on??? nearly...

That is a nice looking machine, but what is tax exempt about it??

Hydaulic winches are undoubtably impressive pieces of kit, but they are more expensive to set up I believe. You would need the winch to start with which are more expensive than electric. Then you would also need the pump, piping etc etc etc. and should your engine fail, you have no winch...
