I removed my roof in the summer...It was fun whilst it lasted, but the time's come for e to take it out of the garage, take the tarpaulin off and put the roof back on.
Problem is, I've lost all the bits I need to reattach the roof.
Does anyone have a list of what parts I need to order?
When I turn the key, I just get a click...I think it may be the starter motor sticking but not sure. It's happened before and I can normally roll the whole vehicle forward and back a little and it'll start again. No such luck this time!! Any ideas??
I've had some embarassing moments trying to overtake lorries in my TD. V embarassing when you have to give up when you're halfway past and then all the cars behind you go past laughing!!
A kind chap on here has put me in touch with someone who's got an axle for £90!
It's a Disco 1 axle so I believe I need different radius arms? (Mine's a 1990 90 TD)
On a scale of 1 to 10, how difficult is an axle swap, including bleeding the brakes etc?
Does anyone local to Evesham/Tewkesbury fancy helping/showing me the way for a few beers?
Well, the ratchet handle broke off when I used one of these

- the bolts aren't budging. The calipers are rusted to buggery anyway by the looks of things so I think I'm best just replacing the axle.
Equicar can do me an axle for £250 delivered. Otherwise will keep an eye out on eBay - there's a few around at the moment. Delivery is the issue though!
So how many rescues have Defender drivers done over the last couple of days in the snow?
I pulled a Golf out of a ditch yesterday with an old series 3 with v small tyres couldn't manage. Later towed a van up a slippy hill. Was 3 hours late for work in the end and then we were all told to leave half an hour later!
One thing I noticed was the drivers of new (mainly Japanese) 4X4s whizzing along, thinking they can get away with overtaking at 40/50 in the snow and not even comtemplating stopping to help people.
