Ok...thanks guys for your super fast replies! A roof rack is a no no, cos I don't fancy scratching my bike trying to get it up there! I did contemplate going the spare wheel carrier and bike rack route, but I want to put it on the back of my Disco too, but there is no spare wheel. No...

A tad o/t, but how easy are the swing away carriers to remove?...reason I ask, I'm after a bike rack that goes on the towbar, but most dnt allow for a spare wheel to be there, so want something quick release as such. Is it's just a case of whipping it off with a catch? Or do you need a...

Thainy, I'm ok with regards to the wheels...have 10 now haha...just need smartening up a touch. Thanks anyway. Think I've got the paint sorted as well. Should save me a few quid anyways.

Fair enough...did you spray or brush it on? Is it quite hard wearing then? I'm looking into what shade to go for... Tig Up...thanks for the offer, but it looks like I'm sticking with the Steels now, unless they are ridiculously cheap!

Haha...knew I'd get that reaction...I was hoping you were all going to say that. With regards to trying to sort out the inside of the steel wheel, I have done this (I also swapped them for TD5 rims) but to no avail. We have concluded that it is the inner tube rubbing on the inside of the...

Can someone please talk me out of this, if it is a bad idea... I have standard steel wheels on my Defender with 235/85/16's. The wheels are the standard off white colour, but look a tad tatty (i.e.odd bits of rust specks) Now, I can either refurb the steels (rub them down and paint) or...

I had lost mine on the M1 or somewhere similar though, so couldn't reweld it back on :( Well I went and bought one from Paddocks and is currently being fitted...just wish the mounting brackets were in the same location as the old one grrr... Anyway, thanks everyone for your help.

Done a search, no joy... Anyway, my tailpipe has just fell off. Basically it has come off where it welds to the backbox. Now, I reckon this backbox is only a couple of years old. It is a 19J one (with a 200 fitted)...are there any alternative backboxes available besides the standard mild...

Is your thermostat working?

I paid £500 for a 92 K Reg 200tdi Vogue SE that needed the chassis welding. I bought it has a donor car for the engine and easily retrieved my money back for the full conversion by breaking it.

I dunno...but he seems to able to see in the future... Isn't that date after when we are all supposed to die?

Cheers fellas ... it was out of a 92 K Reg 200tdi, so it should fit. Thanks again.

Hi, Done a search but to no avail. A guy is interested in buying my LT77 G/box from my old RRC, but he's wanting to stick it into a H Reg Disco. Any ideas if it will fit? I assume it will bolt to the engine fine as both are 200's, but the problem I see is where the gearstick comes...

I did the whole lot. A roll of the 300mm flashband was enough to cover: The rear wheel arches Gearbox Tunnel Footwells Well worth it in my opinion...very pleased with it.

Flashband the rear arches. Made it a lot quiter, in terms of road noise. I can't hear the rear wheels spraying water up any more. Really pleased with it from first hand experience. Looks gd too.

I used flashband in my footwells, gearbox tunnel, rear wheel arches etc and has completely deadened the sound. Looks neat and only cost me thirty quid as well...

Are you sure that the water isn't iced up? The pump won't work if so...I'd also check the fuse (if separate) before you start taking everything apart :)

Hmmm, I might stick mine up for sale then for that sort of money, as mine is in better condition than that! Should be able to pick up a nice TD5 then!

Hopefully this hasn't already been posted, but are these chaps serious with the price? 1992 Land Rover Other Pickup 2495cc Diesel on eBay (end time 10-Dec-10 11:44:59 GMT) Yes, I admit it's only done 35k miles, but come on...£7.5k + VAT... It's still 18 Years old! Or am I missing...

I've got my Defender to be reasonably comfy and warm now. Cost me less than £100, but I can now be nice and warm in her and be able to have a conversation with my passengers. It involved: Flash banding the rear wheel arches, Footwells and Gearbox Tunnel Boarding the rear panels out...
