Ditto,, got to be the blue one ,,,

Ok all, let see if anyone does venture in here !! Other half is on her 5th Freelander, 04/05 TD4 SE, and we get , what I can only call, "a hell of a din" from the l/hand front corner, together with what looks like steam, mainly when cold,, Presume this is the Pre heater,, Should it make a loud "scavenging" sound, almost enough to drown out the engine

Bet you are wishing you never when to the ring and bought it now,,

Well , i vote Ali Read should buy the company,, and do all the forum a proper cost price deal !!

The Stratos, must be one of my all time top cars, but never been into replica cars, would be OK as a fun track cars,,if a little slow ,, But i think you would struggle to get the car on a MSA stage logbook !!

Tony,, you should have another Papal £5, from me as well ??,,

Thanks guys,, was begining to think, either no one knew (which i can not belive on this forum) or no one had ever done the job (again, unlikley ) or it was a darn silly question !!! My defender books (workshop manual vol 1 & 2) avoid the issue Thanks Ralph,, now have somewhere to start,, where i will finish, is anyone guess

Mmmm,, Chris might take that, as it is !!!

or rather Val does ( Tony not allowed to get it Too muddy !! ) and my other half does,, and would not be without it !!!

Evening all,, before i start searching, or dig out the manual,, anyone have any hints on removing both front wings on the defender ?? Need to get access to the front outrigger to weld the front legs of the cage, and might replace them while i am there, if i find a set by the time they have to go back on !! ?? anyone got a pair they want to sell !! Thanks all

I would have to agreed with Mark here,, nothing to stop someone, picking a thread to bits, and re-righting as there own work!! Yes,, we must stay independent of the mags/advertisers, etc, but lets not cut off our nose to spit our face,, surely, if the mods and the authors are in full agreement with a thread on this forum being used for a magazine article, and the forum received the going rate for what the article is worth, BUT only direct to the end user mag, not by way of a third party (no offence Bigfoot) Until the poll sounds like the above,, I will be voting NO, I am afraid

Chris,, the day to go to the boat show, is the first day (VIP day) ,, worth the extra couple of quid,, avoids all the "sun" readers !!! Now you are a freelander expert, could give you a job for a day, to get in on the trade days

Autosport Show Should have gone yesterday,,first time i have not been for years,, too much to do, not enought time

Well mine a bsatrad !! sorry Hybrid,, could be anything !! The 110, a double cab XS,, heated this, heated that,, lovely on these nippy mornings

Steve,, the new !! hard top looks better !!,, now i have a few miles on the hybrid, i get you point re the 3 link!!

Enjoy you local Scrappies, while you can !!!!! With all the new "end of life" rules now being enforced, the good old fashion scrap yard's days are numbered Very soon it just will not be economical to carry on, the way it has for the last many years, I am just in the process of closing down the used parts side of the business, due to all the carp ,paperwork,rules and regulations that being forced onto us by the so call "powers" that be And to let "customers" wander round, with all the health & safety, its just not worth the aggro

Bish,, Got round to doing it, Do not think my measuments will help much !! as all new steel was put in for the outriggers, sill's etc as below but if you think any may be of use, please feel free to ask !!!

Savage, is Mark (V8 hybrid, when its up and running !) ! the man in the Securior van !!, he mention he saw you on the Friday, as we were on the way to Sussex to collect a cage from Simon P

Well just where Simon's waiting, is a nice little Kingswear pub,, know it Well

Just going throught the threads i missed while away (9 pages !! you've all been busy) Thanks Steve,,for the link, but i did get a reply to my mail, and now booked into the farm !!

Yep, that was i, coming back from your direction, having collected a cage, Savage did say he saw you Friday, with a "overheating" problem !! Shame i did not know you were coming over, would have paid the V8 petrol to Devon, in exchange for collection a couple of bits from Simon !! hey-ho

Know that view well, if you had been down a few weeks earlier Chris, you could have come for a sail !!!

Ahhh,, Remember it well,, myold defender and winch, anchored via Fi disco, could not shift it,, Seven Sisters posing stone, by the look of it Mark ?? On the wheels subject,, you will allways get a good price back for the Mach 5, when you have finished with them !! I almost got as many as Les now !!

Simon,,, presume your have had a south-west weekend !!! driving a truck like your's, it's not easy to be missed,, Down on friday,, running hot i belive !! on the A303 and back again this afternoon, in a group of 4, again A303 Hope the pictures will be on later !!!
