    Yes ...... the budget clearly didn't stretch to the interior.

    If you do a search you'll find tons of stuff on this. Safari used to make one that had a pipe that passed through the wing - whereas my understanding is that they now make them so they seal against the wing like the Mantec one does and thus has challenges around it sealing properly. Another thing to search for is whether they are restrictive - I know the chap from Bell Auto Services did some dyno runs with snorkels on and showed some significant airflow loss with some brand(s). If you aren't bothered about going fast or going near water though - then just fit the one you like the look of best.

    Whereas 'Coniston Green' sounds more like a Vicar ? The Reverand Coniston Green was delighted his new 2 series Land Rover helped him reach his remote parish church.

    MT94 is pretty thin .... But I wouldn't say it has the same viscosity as water ..... It's still kind of ..... Oily ....

    I'd definitely swap the 200 parts over - the 200 is a good engine and swapping the parts over cant be that bad - lots of people have done it, plus there will be loads of folk on here who could support it with answering questions etc. The 200 defender set up is quite sought after - and you'll likely never end up with another alternative that looks as 'factory' as your factory one does now.

    I do ! Sorry

    It wasn't slipping on the drum - it was just the rope not being under a constant tension if that makes sense ? So a coil would suddenly be loose before the strength of the pull put the next under tension. Securing it wise I have one of those double loops that trap the coils against the drum.

    I had mine quite right - though with a bit of cross pattern on it, because when I had it more loosely spooled I was getting 'slips' as I was winching - which seemed pretty dangerous and made things that little bit unpredictable. Can anyone help with that ?

    Here's another 'series 1' http://r.ebay.com/IJnzWv Ridiculous ....

    Just what I was gong to say - excellent site for the D2 / Td5 main maintenance items. Also what I was about to say - it looks lovely. I think D2's look really well with subtle upgrades. Decent tyres and a facelift grill.

    Thank you !

    Can I hijack and ask how you clean them ? Mine is looking a bit green ..
  13. Anderzander
    Actually they still look smaller - sorry ....

    How are these ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/111966102758

    I don't have a copy but my MOT guy said it was retrospective
  16. Anderzander
    My MOT guy said about 12 months ago that they are supposed to be there if they were fitted - I don't think it's new legislation ?

    The cat was fitted on MY02 Td5's onwards - so basically the 10p engines didn't have it, the 15p ones did. I fitted a basic stainless front section that was de-cat and it fit ok - though it's not much use as I can't remember the brand ...... Sorry.

    GLASS is definitely the way to go. It will give you access the trail wise that David mentions, plus local area groups so you get the local knowledge too, plus the small membership is helping people who are working to keep the lanes open for us.

    You're right - so perhaps not a fair test. I have boosts now - largely because I'm shallow and really like them. If I was competing though, I think my priorities would shift and I'd be going for wolf steelies.

    I broke all four of mine - freestyle alloys they were.

    The chap I mentioned said the same - which is why he chemical strips it.
  22. Anderzander
    Yes - being more specific, I think some GL5 is OK - but all GL4 is ok. I was planning on buying one of the 25l drums from Morris Lubricants. They have free delivery on that volume and it's around £100.
  23. Anderzander
    Chemical stripping can work, chap near me drops it in a big vat of nasty stuff.
  24. Anderzander
    Given that Mog is slang for a cat - and that's small how about something like 'kitty' ?

    Are they having a laugh ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/322071077994
