Payydg, Coffeelandy, maybe we can work something out. The Tourer kit includes the extended flysheet (obviously?), the extended flysheet support pole, a tub groundsheet (not original) and half a ton of pegs. The tent on its own comes with the smaller fly, which has never been used. Given that we...

When you say do you mean "off road driving"? If so, be aware that there are no roads in Scotland that are not owned and controlled by someone, ie no "green lanes" as you might call them elsewhere. Some landowners might give you permission to use one but 1. you have to know who to ask and 2. if...

The extension "annex" - the bit that hangs underneath - can have the end wall unzipped. This can then be pulled out horizontally to form a roof, but Hannibal don't supply poles to support it. A bit miserable of them and we don't use this feature but extending poles and guy lines are easy to find...

SOLD SOLD SOLD This is the 1.4m version with the standard flysheet and the extended "Jumbo" or "Tourer" kit which provides a covered annex / awning, although it has 3 sides not 4. There are no poles for the awning option. There is a "tub" style groundsheet which was made for another tent but not...

Where from?

Any chance of some pics as you do it?

I had a similar problem and replaced the hose. After about 3000 miles it collapsed at the bend. Britpart. Generally I avoid their stuff, but, I thought, what could go wrong with a little bit of hose? I fixed mine temporarily with a jubilee clip around the collapse, but I'll get a genuine part...

If you're prepared to do that, then a whole lot more options open up. I have Scheelmann seats in my 110. Very comfortable (and wifey would complain if they weren't). Can sit there all day with no sore spots at all. No lifting seat squab, though. Previous 110 we had I put leather Volvo seats in...

Yeah, yeah..OK.

Apologies in advance in case you've already read it, but this has appeared on another forum but with almost no response, and I'm still looking for a solution: During our last trip (April/May) we had a minor traffic accident - broken mirror, dented wing, no injuries. The damage was to the other...

Again, +1 for that advice....ask me how I know...?

+1 for that. Wouldn't repeat the experiment, it's cold enough in the winter without adding to it.

A lot of folk, me included, change these regularly anyway since they seem to wear very quickly. I did, on my last truck, change them for the fancy HD type but although they don't wear as quickly they are probably transferring the point of failure somewhere more expensive, so I don't use them now.

If you look at the new unit's wiring diagram it should specify the Ignition live (red in my case) and the Permanent live (orange?). The orange wire in my unit keeps the radio settings with the ignition off. The same source keeps the clock running and would power the immobiliser etc if I had one.

These "nuts" are Rivnuts and rely on a close fit with the the hole they're set into to grip. If they're turning, you need to either: 1. drill 'em out and replace or 2. do as I did and get a pin punch and whack the gripping edges until they bite on the metal of the support. Option 2 is a...

...or put a penny under the tensioner seat to set the correct alignment.

Same problem as you have...central mounting to see the towball is great for solo hook-ups, but because I have a rear-mounted spare wheel the "washer jet" mount doesn't work to see the ball. As a result I have to choose between 2 options, so I've angled it towards the nearside. That way I can see...

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Defenders! As you say, lots of knowledge on here 'cos there's lots that you'll need to know if you want to DIY -and that's the fun of it, just a big box of mobile Meccano. I find this site very useful. It'll help you identify the part you want, what it's called...

Not necessary to run the tank dry, surely? How about: 1. fill it to the brim, drive X miles, fill to brim again and note how much it takes to do so, divide this amount into miles covered = litres per mile. 2. Multiply this figure by 5 and take off 10% of the answer = MPG. This is as accurate...

Look OK to me. I'd expect them to show about 13.5 to 14.0 with the engine running and the level in the pic after about 15 minutes of switch off (maybe quicker, haven't ever put a clock on it).
