  1. I've been keeping track of mine for a while - I'll post up some figures when I get home from work.
  2. I went to Newark this last weekend and have a friend who seems to crawl under every land rover we came across... after a while I decided to join him and was surprised how many were full of dried mud and dirt underneath.. After every off road trip I jet wash the under side of my landy - but there were ones there that despite having had money spent on them were a terrible state underneath. Is it a minority that cleans them underneath or did I just pick a bad bunch to crawl under? Are they just not bothered about trying to prevent corrosion or is it seen as a bit of kudos? baffled me as I love my truck and that means I want to look after it..
  3. I'm going to order a set of these Insa's - can't argue with the price!
  4. That's great info! Here's one for sale .... If you could compare the lengths for me it would be a huge help. As I already have the heavy duty Defender drag link I'm hoping I can use it without having to spend again.....
  5. Is the Disco drag link the same length as the Defender one? I have a heavy duty bar and wondered if I could just ad the bracket and use it with the disco flat arm...?
  6. I thought people with discovery's fitted Defender style ones?
  7. I found an old thread on here about heavy duty steering bars - and a lot of people said they had Britpart ones which were excellent...
  8. Mine's just gone. Left front wheel took a massive knock out on the lanes this weekend and it seems to have travelled down the arm and straight into the ball joint. Was quite new too
  9. Here is the BBC forecast .... Sun this morning then heavy rain heavy rain on Friday light rain on Saturday sunny intervals on Sunday back to rain on Monday
  10. If the back is sagging you could replace the springs. I'd price up standard genuine parts - they are a lot better than many after market bits and not always a lot of money.
  11. Defender is my only drive - and I get 34 to the gallon. For big journeys we use my wife's car - a diesel X3, which turns in over 40 to the gallon.
  12. Or tell him I'll come and buy them?
  13. Middle seat! Passengers cuddle up to you, you can also put stuff on it, it looks better and people won't break in to see what's inside... Mainly it's the cuddle though
  14. Opening the panel on the bulkhead and spraying grease directly onto the pivot rod mechanism cured mine..
  15. Have you got a picture from a bit further back? I'd love to see how it fits in with the standard dash....
  16. For liability could you not treat it like an MOT?, ie state it was fine in your opinion on the day of inspection. I presume if this kind of thing was required more often or was requiring great detail, or a higher level of authority, then we'd all be only buying parts from companies that provided a report with each part they sold?
  17. Did you ever find the answer out to this? I read you could use the lower ball joint from a 2000 - 2006 Mk5 one....
