Thanks for all the advice I payed the deposit today after a lot of mulling it over . I think at 999 plus vat it's a good price compared to what good second hand ones are making . I'll report and post pic's once I have it

Thanks guys had a look at there web site thanks and it does look good . I thought the price didn't seem too bad for a brand new galv one . There was someone else doing new bulkheads for series 3 and defender . a sort of universal fit one . Im sure that was 2k and not galved . Cant for the life of me remember who it was though 😂

Just looked on the defender2 forum thanks . Doesn't sound good but then again no one has actually seen one in the flesh so to speak

Thanks my concerns are the quality for the money and also the hefty 50% deposit and I've never heard of the company before

Hi im sure you have all seen the new bulkheads by sheilder . Has any one seen one yet or has anyone had any dealings with the company . The bulkheads are on an introductory price that seems very reasonable . I need a new bulkhead but don't want it for a couple of months due to a house move . But don't want to miss out on the lower price . I have emailed them and they have said if I pay half the price now they will hold one for me at the lower price . Just looking for your thoughts and experiences with the company and the bulkheads . Thanks Mark

I rang up and did it over the phone . The guy said there's no way they could compete with my renewal price . How much do other people pay

NFU £345 looks like flux direct will be keeping my business after all

Great thanks ill give them a try . Last year I payed £115 fully comp including all modifications . This year they have quoted £165 . Seems a big jump in price Mark

Hi just got my renewal quote for my 200tdi 90 . Its a 1991 and they have increased it by 45%. Its with flux direct and is my everyday car covering about 11k a year . Who are other people using and who would you recommend Thanks Mark

Ok the problem was the rear earths that screw dawn to the rear tub . To be honest I never thought of these as being important as they earth to the alloy tub and I never thought alloy made a very good earth . Obviously that's me being an idiot because if they weren't important they wouldn't be there

I put 300tdi disco axles on my 90 to up grade from 10 spline to 24 spline and obviously discs on back . Payed £50 each for complete axles . Swaped front callipers for ones off my 90 and put new callipers on back . discs were mint . All came off a scrap disco

OK bit if an odd one . hopeing someone has had something similar to offer some advice as where to start . All front lights are working as they should . but the only ones at the back working are nearside side and brake light and number plate light . nothing at all works on off side . I have checked voltage and only getting about 6v to off side . If I put indicators , revers or fog lights on the nearside lights that do work go off so nothing is on . once the others are turned off the nearside side light works again . I'm guessing its probably an earth fault but has any one got any other ideas or witch earths it might be . All lights are led sealed units Thanks for any help

Hi Andy had a great 4 nights at shell island we headed out over the dunes and found a lovely spot well away from the camping fields . It was like our own little desert owasis Mark

Very happy with the tent it has performed faultless including a huge storm at durness

Very nice did he make it his self

Hi just been looking for somewhere to go in school holidays camping with the roof tent . Found shell island in wales and looks like a good place to just stay in one place for a week . Has anyone stayed on the island to give an honest view as to what its like Thanks Mark

I have seen an advert in one of the mags for body sliders that can be locked together to stop the door being opened . Ill try find it and post the name

I orderd 2 bags of chassie pipe clips when i did mine to then find out richards dont put the holes in . So they are still in the shed

Thanks guys . Will remove them as we fit the lift kit

Hi a friend has just bought a 300tdi disco for using at payday sites to save damaging his td5 . He has just bought a second hand 4" lift kit for it but I was thinking it will be better with the roll bars removed . Am I right in thinking this

I got 2 seat retrim kits . To be honest I was a bit dubious as they were britpart . but to be fair I did them on boxing day and they seem ok and look a lot better than the old knakerd torn ones

This is interesting . I have always used atf . My gear oil is due a change and I'm now thinking mtf might be an option

Thanks guys I will check for cracks in servo and test pump at weekend . I did fit a new caliper last August but never gave that a thought . And it did come in a blue box

Hi got a strange problem with the brakes on my 200 tdi 90 . Normal day to day breaking is spot on as good as it always has been . Last night though I had to slam on the brakes and the pedal just went solid and the brakes were not good Felt like when being towed with engine off . Ie no servo assistance . After the slam on under normal braking every thing is good . This morning I tried a couple off emergency braking tests and every time it's like no assistance . So I'm thinking servo problem or vac pump problem . Is there anyway to test these and has anyone had a similar problem .

An update on progres . There was a problem with delivery at direct 4X4s end . The Currier left it behind . So they refunded all the postage cost and sent it out for Saturday am delivery for free . It came Saturday morning at 9am and I am very happy with it . The proof will be in the pudding as they say but the quality seems very good
