    From what I can see the leak from the steering box is the worst of the leaks but on my lovely clean driveway these drips might as well be lit up with multi-coloured Christmas tree lights. They stand out so obviously :( It's having some work done as I write this and that leak is on the list to...

    Mine too had rubber mats over the top. These are now carefully placed on my driveway to collect drips of oil from the steering box, engine, gearbox.........:o

    I'm sure it's standard fit in mine, they have mounting holes etc.

    Seats and carpet are now clean and I've used well over 100 litres of cleaning solution through my carpet washer. The carpet has gone from a mud brown to a silver/grey colour. The rear load area was so bad I have to pressure wash it a few times before going at it with the carpet washer. I...

    Disco1 / Defender Wheels

    Can you post up a price also please? I've got a few of these sets on the horizon and I'm trying to tie in price and distance to make the best decision. Thanks.

    12 seats vs insurance quotes

    When the document arrive I'll have a look through to check. From what I've printed off so far there's no mention of the number of seats but they have all the other vehicle details. Surely with that they would know it was built and registered with the 12 seats it still has.

    12 seats vs insurance quotes

    Well, I really didn't think it would be such an issue but the insurance companies seem to have a real problem with my Defender and it's 12 seats. I spent a great deal of time yesterday chasing my tail trying to get someone, anyone to give me a quote. Lancaster, Adria Flux, Confused.com...

    Totally off topic but I'm blaming you for making me look at this for my upcoming birthday Toy Vault Tim the Enchanter Hat | eBay

    I didn't know, but I do now, thank you. That's saved me an aching neck and a search with a torch.

    Good plan! It's only there very dimly when driving along, never at idle. Strange, I thought it'd be the other way round. Earth cleaning it is then.

    Luckily, my only experience of series Land Rovers has been pretty bad, so I hope not, but you never know. I do tend to swap my cars about a lot, this is car number 40.

    Do they not normally have carpets? All the ones I looked at did.

    Approximately 36 litres of diluted upholstery cleaner through my carpet washer and the seats are now mud and crud free, or at least as far as I am prepared to go with them anyway. Tomorrow it's the carpets that are still in the car. I'm expecting to lose a day and the skin off my hands.

    Having taken out all the seats this evening I now have to trace a leak I've discovered in the drivers footwell. There's also a slightly less serious one on the passengers side. The windscreen rubber is pretty much perished though in places so I reckon it may be that.

    Well after getting loads of help and advice from the members here on this thread http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f6/help-advice-experts-228850.html I was eventually brainwashed into getting a Defender. Having sat and weighed up the pros and cons for series vs Defender ownership, the Defender...

    Help and advice from the experts

    Well after weighing up all the pros and cons, plus the amount of terrible series Land Rovers I saw, I think being swayed over the the Defender was a good choice. I only have the one picture at the moment but more will follow on a dedicated thread in the Defender area.

    Damn you all ;) I bought a defender 110 CSW. 1996 300tdi, a ton of miles, one owner and a few jobs needed. Nothing too bad, mainly little niggly jobs and a ruddy good clean. I'll update in the relevant section as soon as I've made a list of issues and some questions.
