Thanks, I was planning to use 102 as a backup but found it odd that LR spec'd something different for this joint. But then its a Land Rover!! Ta:)

Anyone know where you can get Hylosil 2000 or its a equivlent? LR manual calls for it on the bearing cover cap at the rear of the LT230 tfer box, but I can't find it for love nor money Ta:confused:

I thought that Nissan had the market gripped with silly looking Softroaders. Nope, that crown has now been snatched by LR. Where are you going to fit a couple of wet smelly Labradors, guns, boots, birds, and all the other stuff I bought a Defender for? We all know the answer, this was...

Just had my 2005 Defender serviced at Landrovers UK at Mells in Somerset. The UK's best selection of used Land Rover Defenders Great service, very reasonably priced, friendly staff and excellent facilities. They pointed out a couple of things that a main dealer had missed on a very expensive...

Ok we all know how bad the Defender heater is. Had (I think) a bright idea. Why not take some of that ally flexible hose about 75mm dia, clamp it next to the turbo (luverly and hot) and then feed it into the heater box air intake? Get nice warm air to defrost screen and driver. It would need...

My 2005 Defender has just had it's last dealer service. Not just because of the cost, but because of this When my wife picked it up, and herself off the floor when she saw the bill the service manger said that next time in we would need new brake pads and new rear disks. Fair enough...

Also if you have a few quid to spare get a High Lift jack, about 50 squid but well worth it for those more 'involved' little jobs.

I have had my TD5 110 from new in 2005 and its the best yet. Worth putting a overdrive on as it will cruse all day at 80 and won't send you mutton. Yep it aint as smooth as a Disco and even the XS County is still basic but it'll still be on the road in 30 years time and will go anywhere. Mine...

I have a similar looking winch made by Come Up but its only 6,000lb as was much more expensive. It's OK for occasional use but if you wanted something for regular heavy use I wish I had bought a hydraulic one instead. Usual case of you gets what you pay for

Meet you in Tidworth (due south of you) at say 11.45-12.00? Give me a call or text on 077885 257050 Matt

The roads are everything from gravel tracks to trenches!! I am good to go this morning from 11.30. Where are you comming from and we can arrange a meet point? Matt

Imber is closed and there is no access until next week-end. Larkhill appears to be open providing the red flags are not flying. What time were you thinking of? I have been given some chores:( that I need to do first thing so a later start for me (11.30) would be better. If no good we can...

Don't worry, I have heard from others that once you have been on the plain you go back time and time again so there will be plenty of future visits. I'll take lots of pictures. Just one point, there has been a big exercise on this week and it may run into the week-end.:eek: I'll call the...

Me, give me a call on 07785 257050 or mail at [email protected] if you want to discuss details. Matt

Deal, where and what time do you want to meet? Matt

Almost any weekend is good for me. I have a GPS enabled laptop and 1:50,000 OS maps on the computer. I have a mate that works near the plain and has good info on exactly where and what and where is legal to drive. Apparently the range wardens get a bit fed up with people going off piste so to...

Give me a shout when you are going. I live very near to the plain and have just got a 110 Defender. Have not had time to get up there yet but would be up for a run. Matt

Having tried long and hard to get a definitive answer over using Bio Diesel in TD5 engines I thought I would post my findings as it may be useful to others. Land Rover state in the owner’s manual of the Defender (probably the same in the Freelander & Discovery) do not use Bio Diesel in...

Hi Frank, I had a look at the Roverdrive site but I would prefer an electrically engaged unit. I also contacted Tim Payne regarding his unit. Bad news is that it is still a prototype and will not be in production for 12-18 months, pity. It does sound a better unit than the GKN one as it has...

Need an overdrive for my Defender. Anyone know the pros and cons between the GKN and the Paynes unit. I know the GKN is a bit more expensive, but do you get any more for your money? Seasonal eatings & greetings to all Matt
