Good to know, I'll give them a call. Many thanks, mate. T.

Hi, been trying to contact these guys for about the last four working days and with no luck. Neither email or telephone (0121 622 5562) has elicited any response, so I'm wondering if: 1. They're all on their hols? Nothing to that effect on the website, including the Comptons 2000 one. 2. Phone...

Colin, transit weight is 45kg. The costs, overall, are significant and until the D90 is out of the garage and those costs covered, I'm not purchasing a thing! It's very easy for these vehicles to become a Black Hole for cash and a bit of control is required....:confused: Sort of! T.

Hi Mike, Yep, being a 50-something, I certainly remembered the reporting of those 'incidents' in Las Vegas and the name sort of stuck with me! For the frames, I'm going for ones made by Purely Metal, the owner is Colin and this is his Email. Very helpful bloke and the quality of the products...

Hi Mike, Good to hear from you! Had a RR classic some years ago and absolutely loved it; fuel consumption was 'challenging' but the sound of that engine on startup was music to my ears..:p I'm currently in the process of converting my D90 hardtop, which I bought in Scotland a month ago, to a...

Interesting point you make. So you're saying that in a loadspace, once designed for Labradors and Springer Spaniels, one finds French Bulldogs and Labradoodles? sad, really...

LOL! Freelander, Defender, blad de blah, it matters not! Thanks for the feedback, mate. T.

Certainly a more practical and useable piece of kit, but suffers like the Pig, in that, the viz for passengers in the tub is totally crap! Improve the viz and buy a 110 but then you've sort of lost the point........:confused:

LOLOL! Clearly not good, but how about listing some positive experiences, if you have any? Many of the responses in this thread actually missed the point of the OP and that was to try and identify the good bits; I know several indy LR mechanics who will use specific BP items. Maybe they...

Now a somewhat 'old' thread but, for me starting back in to Defender ownership, an excellent attempt to try and highlight the positives around any BP products and one I found very useful. Useful, despite the comedians, die-hards, bereaved, over-my-dead-body and you're-going-to-hell-in-a...

Hi GL, On paper, that sounds like a great idea; in practice, I'm not so sure, as it could trigger 'flashbacks' in some of the natives, resulting in who-knows-what.... A guy did run tours in an Army Humber Pig for a while, but I think that enterprise has now ceased. The daily petrol bill...

LOL! Looks great and very much a military Landy.

@Frenchdame Didn't you know? The natives are now dead friendly :D Here's a Landy where the owner needs to seriously consider toning things down a bit..LOL

Thanks, Hippo, but all of your comments equally apply to trackers made elsewhere on this planet. Don't assume that somehow because its made in, say, the UK or EU that it's somehow a superior or higher quality product. Many use the Far East or China, typically, as the ODM and brand it for onward...

You've hit the nail on the head, in that, this price-point gives you just about any of the functionality you'll ever need in a tracker. Many European sellers offer enhanced vehicle management, essentially, two-way data comms with your vehicle in order to deliver remote start, engine monitoring...

Hi guys, I very recently bought a hardtop Defender 90 300TDI after suffering a year without any sort of Land Rover on the driveway. Over the years, I've used BLRC and Beyond Performance 4x4, who maintained my L320 over a period of a few years and no complaints, other than I wish I had access to...

Hi, Just to possibly conclude this thread, I came across this complete suspension kit which appears, on paper, to tick all the boxes; that said, I'd like an idea of the quality of the components and can get that from the seller. On that, I'm looking to balance decent quality with a reasonable...

Hi Paul, many thanks for this; it's much appreciated. T.

Love the Defender! Btw, what width are the tyres on the Boost rims? Think all the proportions look just right on this setup and would be my preference, eventually. T.

Thanks, Scooby for your comments; I'll check out the propshaft. T.
