I bought one with a galv chassis and thought I was pretty careful when I checked but still found a rusty outrigger behind the fuel tank and a couple of dodgy spots on the bulkhead. Check under rear floor, the steel supports can react with the alloy floor and rot away. Whatever you buy it will...

Its a small hole in the steel plate on the highest point of the gearbox, the plate sticks out either side of the seat box. I've had my box apart today and the gearbox/transfer box seal was leaking so the transfer box was full up! I'll tell you if a new set of seals solves the problem!!

The breather is further back. I sealed mine up cos mine was leaking as well!

I've just acquired a set of 7.50 boots for my SWB they look huge next to the little 205's. I'm on parabolics but are they likely to catch on the bodywork?

They are mounted on to a metal strip with a bracket on each end which would seem to mount between the steering box/bulkhead and the wing stay....if it was about an inch shorter that is!!

Parts in themselves are usually easy to get and not costly...unless you need lots of them!!!

Hi, Does anyone know how to change the lock barrel on a 2002 defender rear door? This is the most recent type of door with central locking. A part number would be helpful too so I can shop around for one! Thanks!

I've got some paddocks front mud flaps for my SWB series. Any ideas where they fit on? They seem a bit wide to go between the wing and bulkhead/steering box support. Thanks!

Hi Captn! Firstly congrats on your thought processes so far! I bought new electronic dizzy and coil from Simonbbc.com, plus a set of leads from Paddocks, they seem OK to me and work just fine!

Depending on your priorities, diesel will be better for wading, petrol can be converted to LPG. Both lumps are unstressed and pretty bulletproof. The later 5 bearing engine is stronger. I have a petrol 2.25 and it returns around 20-23 with overdrive and FWH. Economy would be slightly better if...

Hi Chris, I decided that the cheapest option was to replace the door bottom complete around £22 plus vat each from paddocks, I've just got to lather it in paint now!!

I'm looking for a screen frame for my series 3, is a 2/2a the same? Thanks!

Very neat! I love it!

I hope so I've ordered a pair!

Dopey pointed out to me the series 2 club are getting an order together see: Heated screen prices so I thought I'd spread the word!! Seems like they expect around £100 a pair!

I wonder if the airfilter/box from a 200tdi would solve the problem?

Thanks for that!! I'll register right away!!

My Kenlowe temp switch is rather temperamental (it's the one with the wire under the top hose, and I've been told that a top hose switch is much more reliable. I like the x-fan unit but I've found this unit Water Temp Gauge Radiator Hose Sensor Adaptor 34mm hose on eBay (end time 31-Dec-09...

I'm fitting a defender heater but need some black foam rubber to make up new seals. Any ideas where I could source some? Thanks!

Just brainstorming as I refurbish my yellow series, has anyone ever used a pair of series windscreen washer jets as headlamp washers?
