  1. Mm yeah and that will make the price drop. Oh look a pig flying There are somethings in life that go up but never really go back down in price , one is fuel the others are energy and water rates
  2. There not that much I just 4. 50 amp anderson plugs for £10 off eBay here in Australia Ali
  3. Yeah pretty much None of the company cars i have had, have had fog lights and that was a new Ford, Toyota, Holden and Hyundai. They say they don't have them because they don't have fog here But I yet to believe that
  4. We live on the south side of Brisbane in a place called Cleveland which is on the coast. We also live on a big hill which over oils the bay and stadbroke island So although we about 10 ks as the crow flys from Brisbane and all the carnage nothing happening where I live And yeah I have a snorkel but when the river is 20 meters about normal , need a bit more than a snorkel Interesting thing is I was in an ARB shop the other day and they have run out of snorkels in Australia for all cars due to the amount of rain we have had over the last few months Ali
  5. This is a Landy I pulled up next to Might not strange , I hear you say , but is when you consider this is in Brisbane, Australia
  6. The car has to have it's own insurance. You will find it in the small print of your insurance . If you don't the police that stop you will find it for you when they charge you with no insurance :-) They do this so you can't own several cars and insure one and drive them all on the one insurance
  7. Same as Australia where car rego ( road tax) has third party insurance included. So this make it that if you have rego you are insured. And of course anyone can drive anyone else's car and be insured
  8. I read about it over here in Aus What they want to do is you have to have insurance on any car you own that is not SORN So if you have a car in your back yard that is not SORN and not insured then you can get up to 8 points and £100 to £1000 fine The idea is that 1 million cars on UK roads are not insured and the police and government want to crack down on this. But at the moment they have to catch them on the road driving the car. With this new law thy car turn up to your house and fine you there and then with out you even being in the car As said was in the Sunday paper here in Australia so goods know how you lot don't know about it. They said it was starting in march
  9. They use that excuse here in Aus. But when you look into it the average k's they do a year over all is 20,000 which is 12000 mile so the same as the Uk. After all what most people do in most parts of the world is go to work come home , go to the shops , and take the kids to school and they don't travel to the other side of the country to do that. They do what local to them The reason the fuel is cheap IIs because the government don't see it as such an easy way to rip everyone of like the Uk does
  10. A$1.29 Ltr Here is Australia And even with the carp value of the pound still makes it 82p a ltr
  11. There's more reasons than just the price of LPG to not live in the isle of Wight :-)
  12. Always nice to have a winch bumper I have ARB bumpers on my 2 defenders. Find it hard to better an ARB winch bumper Ali
  13. Yeah Martin is a good bloke And still laughing over Jules comment. But he will have the bits you want or know where to get them Ali
  14. The price of gas up for two reasons One is the cold winter in Europe and USA has made more demand and short supply The other is the fact the pound is pretty much worthless compared to what it was, and as the uk has to buy most of it fuel this cause a bit of problem. look at the pound against the Aussie dollar. Used to be £1 was worth $2.3 to $2.5. That was only a couple of years ago. Now today £1 is worth $1.55. That is a hell of a difference Ali
  15. Mm totally disagree with that OME are good shocks. Their not the best but they are not the worse either. They are in fact well priced for what you get.you can get fox or Olins or Rieger if you want better but at a grand or more a corner make OME look cheap After all they check them for use and height after 300 miles and a yearly check if you want for free of charge and a three year warranty I had scrap iron ones once and they were totally carp and had to replace 4 in the space of 6 months Since then I have used OME and not broken one and I have drive in winch challenge and on cars that I have driven around Australia on corrugated roads with no problems Ali
  16. I think the word you are looking for is sells them as ARB make them and sell them world wide Gywn is just a stockest same as Devon 4x4
  17. Over the years I have given OME shocks plenty of abuse on different conditions from Uk challenging to touring Aus. And I have never had a problem But the do have a 3 year garentee and come with a service book and maneul. Which I have for both my 90 and 110. I fitted the one son my 110 but ARB fitted the ones on the 90 Pretty rare to have problem with them but are a good company and stand by their stuff Ali
  18. Hi I have super pro and they are good I have them on my 90 and 110. the first ones Were from Bearmach But I am lucky enough to live in Brisbane where the super pro are made and the super pro garages have fitted mine most the time. So they are pretty cheap here You winge at the price of the set but that is a lot of bushes in a set. I tend to just buy them when I need them and not in the kit. May be a bit more over time but keeps the handbrake happy BTW as the Queensland State Manager for Australia's biggest carpet underlay company I like your thinking on carpet but wish more people went along with that Ali
  19. No snow here in Brisbane Just as well as it would make my pool cold
  20. They had an bit on buying older defenders in an Aussie mag When they said that land rover had invented the perfect way for you not to leave your lights on. This is because in the defender you need to turn the lights of just to get the keys out of the ignition
  21. Yeah thats fair enough but also because there are alot of anal toss posts on here who think they know it all but don't :-)
  22. Ok yeah should have said three different lengths
  23. Although to be fair to ARB they just fixed my fridge and that was nearly a year out of warranty. They just took it back and fixed with no charge
  24. Use 3.5 v 8 head bolts same stupid yank thread and work well What my 8274 was fixed to my Arb bumper with They cost about a quid each if that and from memory they come in three different sizes
  25. When i did mine i was told to diloted some of the acid you put in your pool and clean the floor with that. It gets rid of all the oil and carp of the floor. Then wash with clean water and let dry and your ready to paint. Pretty easy i have a load of pool acid and you can buy it everywhere and it cheap
