    Up until the beginning of this year I had planned to replace mine with a new one in May. That said as mine is 'sorted' and I just don't have the time at the moment to run back and forth doing the 100 mile round trip to the nearest dealer so they can take care with the inevitable niggles, it's likely that I'll hang on to mine a bit longer.

    Welcome to LR4x4! My advice is to grab yourself a coffee / tea / beer / whatever and spend time reading back through previous threads and posts in this section as all the information you are after (and more) is already here

    I can see this has potential to get in a pickle what with the same subject being covered in different threads.

    Moved to the Defender forum.

    Keruing has often been used for trailer flooring too.

    IF the belt has not been turning neither has the alternator - and that's what charges the battery.

    Try cutting back the original paint back with Farecla or T Cut and you might find it will revive.

    Lack of tension on the belt.

    Unless you are entering a concourse show then something near enough from you local auto factors ought to do, failing that take a sample for matching to your local paint factors.

    I've merged this query and subsequent replies.

    I've used those mounts in the past and they do the job they were designed for. Can't think there is much else to say about them.

    They replaced them with the unit that is now standard fitment.

    Early ones had problems with clutches but they should have all been sorted by warranty now. There is a centre difflock as per earlier models but none in the axle diffs.

    Most user friendly Defender type LR I've owned.

    Honda CRV? My wife has a new model one and it's been quite capable enough for her needs.

    Backing up a short distance is usually a good way of unlocking the centre diff.

    I understand what you are saying Martin Rant or balanced discussion - as with all things I suppose it depends on your own experiences, interpretations and POV. If threads get closed someone, somewhere will inevitably cry foul and say their freedom of speech is being curtailed. On the other hand others will object when threads are allowed to run.

    <mod mode on> Just a reminder that we all need to be mindful of potential implications both individually and to the host medium when posting personal names and the like on a public forum. <mod mode off>

    I've purchased several vehicles through the LR approved scheme. They all had faults, the onus seemed to be on me to find them rather than having them fixed prior to putting the vehicle up for sale.

    Hello Jack and welcome to LR4x4

    Screwfix used to do some heavy duty spray on contact adhesive in aerosols that seems to perform well across a range of temperatures. Being able to spray it on makes applying the stuff to upside down surfaces a doddle.

    Touched on several times before. For example: Here Here (starting at post #4 Pretty sure there have been others

    Perhaps just take a leisurely read back through this section?
