[top hat V8 sleeves]

Is it just because of where you are? If so can't someone over here buy them and ship them out?

[Which dampers?]

I am running tough country 11" shocks with a Llama 4x4 kit as my daily drive and pay & play / greenlaning toy and they seem fine on road and excelent offroad, but I am far from an expert

[Weight of a complete bulkhead]

as has been mentioned it will be oversized for one pallet so you need to mention that to the courier as you will be charged more as I was having issues with this with a shipping a rear axle

[How to get a locking wheel nut off???????]

clicky

I keep menaing to a general set of these hammer on reverse thread babies for general nut / bolt removal

[Removing Steering Wheel]

took mine off today

as has been said loosen nut feet against footwell abd push with your legs whilst wiggling side to side and it will come off

oh and iff removing your wiper switch it WILL explode sending springs and th litTle brass pin flying and costing you £10 for a new one, guess how I know

[Whats wrong with this picture]

well my wing and bonnet rusted in 1 night so anything is possible

stumped me for a bit, then realised when I ground off a hinge with dead j-nuts the steal grinding dust melted into the paint and then rusted in the sea air! had to flaten the paint back a layer so have matt wings and bonnet now

[Winter comes..]

I put a ruber mat over the hole in the footwell and ftted new doors that dont flap at the top due to rusted out frames

Actual heating is a luxury and a distant dream

[Disc shields - on or off?]

nasty things, keep them off

[My Land Rover 90 - Stolen]

That sucks mate, I am getting more and more paranoid, about my 90 with all these thefts, not to mention tat I found out the other day that my locks open with any key. Nice one Land Rover will be getting that removable steering boss on payday!

I assume Landys are nicked for parts as they are hardly joyridingmobiles for the hoody scum

I hope you get it back mate

[Offroad tyres]

try the insa Sahara's they work really well in the mud and handle surprisingly well on road

[Defender security issue]

I am getting a snap-off removable steering boss kit for mine as that seems to be a very visual deterent and effective at stopping them running off with it if they do have a go.

Defender locks are a joke though

[Transfer box swap question]

have you got a home for the 1.6 tbox ?

lol

that must be the worlds fastest bagsy, it isn,t even off

[3 bolt, 4 bolt, 6 bolt????]

doesn't the 3 bolt use imperial threads where the 4 and 6 use metric and can be swapped without having to get custome hoses made up (you will need metric one end and imperial the other if you do a 3 to 4 bolt swap).

I am running a 6 bolt without much issue but I can see reciepts for 3 replacement boxes in the paperwork I got with my landy which does seem to suggest they aren't that tough

[lowering the roof line]

DON'T DO DIY

so chopping a landy roof and doing all the relevant fab' work is fine but a bit of DIY is a no no

Or you do what I do and just drive in to the garage and let the car "shape" the up and over door to a nice curved profile!

[Do I need to change the front springs if I fit a winch.]

With a superwinch and first four winch bumper my nose was in the floor, I popped some 225lb rear springs on the front and it levelled her out nicely and stopped the front bottoming out

before

after

[axle breathers]

I have just got the bits off that ebay chap to do mine

Firstly there is no standard breather on the crankcase or bell housing so you pop in a 1/4 bsp push fitting in them instead of wading plugs so you need 2 of those, the axles and the gearbox and transferbox all use 1/8 bsp fittings so you need 4 of those (you already have axle ones so you only need 2).

I have elected to use 5 T pieces to connect them all together and have a 1/4 bsp stud fitting to connect to my air intake

[Lost part for my defender- can anyone identify?]

some one has to....

....how did you lose your flange?????

[Ethanol Powered?]

Wouldn't this just add to air pollution?? I can imagine this old Landy belching out black smoke - I have no idea what the emissions are like on old chip fat, does anyone else??

My mate runs 50-50 veg oil that he gets new for 80p a litre from a wholesaler and when we go green laning if I am behind him I get sooooo hungry from the smell of the fat I have to find chips pretty damn quick!

[Removing Hard top sides]

A photo write up that could go in the archive would be cool as ther is lots of intrest

[Another Thread size question]

After I swapped my front hubs to some 300tdi ones and binned my old ones I noticed I have one steering stop missing.

Does anyone know what thread it is so I can get another one?

Ta muchly

[Radio aerial]

You have a radio in yours!! You don't know your born

I find radio 200tdi works very well without an arial

[feeling the cold in your truck]

Ta muchly

I will have a look at mine as it blows like an asthmatic pensioner at the moment I have to put the fan to max and then push and wiggle it a bit more than that past where it should stop to get a wisp of heat

[Replacing Doors for less than the cost of a new truck]

I got a lovely pair off JST as mine hinged on the door skin as there was no lower frame left to make the actual hinge work

Keep your eyes out for a second hand pair, lots of people swap out for series doors for challange / trial use so ther are normal a fair few about

[Removing Hard top sides]

Mmmm, let us know how it goes. My cappings are rusting through at the top of the centre bulkhead, behind my seats

indeed, my cappings are nasty

[GUARDIAN OR FIRST FOUR]

firstfour are the way to go, fantastic to deal with and no waiting for shipment unlike guardian.
