l wonder if they ever did the journey and what vehicle they used in the end.

Well, l've got both the wheels/tyres and nut covers for sale in the "for sale" section of this forum if anyone fancies a set. All brand new "take off"

He says they fit "straight on to Discovery 2 hubs"

Then the article in LRM is incorrect?

"On the subject of the thread, def a pretender. I am, of course, delighted to be lent one to test it properly here in Kenya!" lf l was going to Kenya l would definitely take an old model Defender, they just seem to belong there. The new one will l am sure be fabulous (l've got one remember)...

Surprised at the lack of interest. l would have thought a supply of brand new off-road wheels and tyres at bargain prices would have had Discovery 2 owners queuing up.

Looks like you did well to move that one on. Mine's been faultless in 18,000 miles. The Navara won't give you any trouble. They're built to last, like the Hilux.

According to this month's Land Rover Monthly magazine, the 18" steel wheels from the new Defender will fit straight on to Discovery 2 axles. This could be good, as these wheels are being offered on Ebay at £5-600 for five, brand new take-off with tyres. The tyres alone are £180 to buy. And the...

l've noticed that recently prices for "US exportable" Land Rovers has gone down, possibly since the first TD5's became eligible

These are from my Defender L663 Commercial and have done around 100 miles. They will apparently fit STRAIGHT ON A DISCOVERY 2 AXLE....see this month's LRO magazine for confirmation. Brand new 18" steel wheels with new Michelin tyres and centre caps for £100 per wheel. Obviously also fit the...

l've got a Land Rover they are welcome to borrow for the trip. Just needs a little TLC

The remap makes no difference to operation of the cruise control except that it gains speed faster when you press the "resume" button!

That looks immaculate, clearly well loved and looked after.

Well, first of all l would change the oil for something better and second l would use a 5w/40 in a TD5 We had an LDV van and my dad used to get the cheapest oil he could as it was "only a van" lt used to burn oil at about 1 litre per hundred miles. l did a service on it and used Castrol GTX...

Well, after being on the forum since 2006 with 2,000 posts the O/P seems to have disappeared without trace. l hope he managed to sort out the tapping on his new engine, but it looks like we'll never know. He's not been on here since March 2024.

2025 UPDATE SO, THE NEW DEFENDER Yes STILL LIKING IT? I've driven a few old ones as they've come up for sale locally. The best was a pristine 2012 TDCi XS Utility with 30,000 miles. l went for a drive in it, and apart from a clattering/play in the transmission (new clutch and output shaft...

So good that you're speechless with joy?

l had a 2005 Defender 110 TD5, bought it with 56,000 miles. l had it stage 1 remapped. lt was always a bit of a smoker after the remap, in fact the first Remap from Alive was ridiculous. If l overtook a vehicle it would be lost in the smoke screen. I had it reset to standard and went for a...

Well, the important thing is that they didn't get your vehicle
