hi all, Apologies if this is a daft question... I'm currently running 235/85/16 on a boost alloy (assuming 7/7.5 wide) on a 2003 defender 90 td5. Ive been looking at modular 16x8 and BF 235/85/16, would this work? thanks!

as daft as it sounds you can't beat a mean looking defender fully loaded!!

Yes thats a valid point about the lanes, maybe a good idea as i can imagine in a narrow situation your mind can forgot about whats on the roof! Il figure something out. I like the satisfaction of modifying to work instead of going the easy route of buying a pop up tent and an inflatable canoe :)

hi, its a defender 90 , bnb is too mainstream! we want to visit/camp more remote locations! .. L shape racking isn't a bad idea. were you thinking to run parallel with the 90? if so, what overhang off of one side is acceptable do you know? thanks

Hi, has anyone tried to carry a roof tent and a canoe? I've thrown together this idea to accommodate both safely and without damaging either. Constructive criticism is appreciated! Aim Getting the roof tent and canoe secured. Modify roof rack to accommodate both. Math/Method Measure the depth...

Hello everyone, currently looking at changing the wheels on my td5, currently running boost alloys i believe. Ive been looking at modular wheels and stumped about tyre sizes. What are people running and what do you recommend without sticking wider arches on.. thanks !

ahhhh! thanks, helpful and educational. That a great info.. Il use a drop to secure in place like you've said and go from there. After all its not a ball ache to take off so id rather do too little than too much if you get me! :)

awesome, thanks a bunch!

Hi, Im new to the Land Rover life as I've recently bought a 53 reg defender 90 Td5. Im also keen for the outdoors and camping along with my recently acquired companion Lola (just to clarify Lola is a cocker spaniel puppy) o_O. I live in the Darlington area and id love to get on some lanes in...

sorry I'm unsure of what you mean, this Land Rover life is all new to me! :(

awesome, il give that a go and see where i get! the help is appreciated :)

it amuses me that you've justified why you've had a look :) ... anyway, I've had a prod around and it doesn't seem too clever, i have some RTA silicone sealant I'm going to put some around that and leave it over night and hopefully all will be well :D

awesome, I've checked eBay and they're literally a couple quid more :| ... I'm going to try changing that and seeing where i get to! il keep you posted :)

thanks for the info! I think il have it back off at some point just to double check, it seemed to line up pretty sweet though

its a Bearmach one from eBay. unsure if its good or bad ?

Perfect, one less thing to worry about shame this little oil leak is driving me nuts!

Apologies il edit the post, it’s a 53 90 td5

Hi, I’m new here so apologies if I’ve posted in the wrong place. I’ve recently had problems with oil down the back of the block, I changed the rocker gasket but it’s still occurring. My next thought was the head gasket but there are a couple plastic hoses with 180 degree bent ends floating...
