ahh ok i dont lamp i just thought it involved dazzleling with headlights then driving into them

isnt a 90 a bit high for lamping? the rabbits would just go underneath the car happy as larry. or are you lamping deer or something?

Hi i am thinking atm that i need to fit some better springs to my Pick up 90 as it leans very far forward as has not much weight at the back end (although this is ok when towing laiden car trailers and the like) MY question is what type do i need Light, Medium or Heavy Duty? or even Different front to back I.E HD Front, Medium Back etc? I have winch and bumper on the front, Pick up rear so not much weight but sometimes have an ifor williams back on with lots of gear in it. Also does anybody know how long (top to Bottom) Standard spings are so i can try and find out if my truck currently has standard size springs on or lifted springs (last owner) would probly get terrafirma +2" when i buy new anyway Tom

Thanks for the responses The idea was to put in decent normal speakers and also because my wipers are so pants and random atm maybe fitting a bigger better motor off of a different car. i dont think the heater matrix would be in the way as i have a custom home made one adapted fom an MGF, This makes me nice and warm whatever the weather

HI all I was thinking of relocateing my wiper motor into the engine bay from the under dash position and was wondering if anyone else had attempted this, if its doable. Any Ideas? tom

Hi All Im thinking Of trying to fit some discovery 2 TD5 Clocks into my 300tdi defender and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on the possibility or ease of this conversion?? tom

Hi All Just wondering if anyone had come up with any solutions for replacing the pant dials in older defenders, I've seen the td5 upgrade, but was thinking more along the lines of the puma dials or similar. also noticed when looking at dials on t'internet that the puma dials are the same as fiesta mk7 dials lol, cheap skates at ford

IN asda the other day my missus pointed at sum jap carp and said tht looks nice and better than your landy why don't you get one of those. subsiquently she has now promised never to say any thing so ridiculous ever again. this is just for more fun lol

i Have a 90 Truck Cab with very saggy headlining so have taken it out and re glued it useing carpet tile spray glue although was wondering if there is anywhere i could buy a new one??? i like new things =D couldnt find anything on ebay and looked at lasalle interiors but pricy and in inverness can anyone help??????

i had a problem with excessive pressure in my 300tdi due to head failure. fixed it still had prob and it turned out to be carp clips on water hoses so replaced them all and its ace now. when they heated up air got in but when cold sealed again and building pressure

IVE GOT THIS PROBLEM TOOO one of my rear doors wont unlock unless manually done from the inside, please is there a lil trick which will get it to work properly again??? tom

lol what a great response some of the posts r hilarious its only past 50m that things start getting complicted for a diver ive dived at 45m many times i would also worry about the water ingress it might knock out my sterio and a dnt think filling the tyres with water would help ideally tracks would be needed which are 3k per wheel

i was thinking 45m i was wondering if it would have been possible to drive across to france, i.e drive in the water not the tunnel shallowest point is 45m which also happens to be the shortest point at 21miles lol

wow what a great response. im not sure what bettery yet but will have a look at all your suggestions as i definately need one.

ACE im away the weekend of the 5,6,7,8th march but any other wkend would be gr8

HI everyone i was wondering if my 300tdi would work fully underwater and for how long? when i say underwater the deepest it would need to go would be 45m

ACE where abouts are you situated? I'm looking at going out in March so will organise some routes and meeting points to make it as good as possible.

i definately need a new battery as mine is kaput struggles startin on cold days. i think i will give them a call and talk about it see what they recommend thanks

hi guys im currently looking at buying a winch and winch bumper at the moment and was just wondering on your views on what im planning to get maybe you know a better place to buy from thats cheaper. the winch and bumper im currrently looking at is from first four: the bumper is a tubeular winch bumper with a bar and swivel recovery eyes. (air-con so i dont hav to cut my grille) the winch is a superwinch EPi9 this package together comes to £850 also im going to need a new battery when i get my winch so was wondering if i should go with a yellow top optima battery or an odyssey battery thanks tom

Awesome. i was looking at the wales 4x4 response last night too sounds interesting,

hi i was just wondering if there was anybody in the cheshire area fancyd going greenlaneing in the cheshire or north wales area. tom

lol its 12 yrs old engine back 2getha and it runs amazing even has better performance. upon closer inspecion of the gasket there was some traking across from pistons 2 and 3 to the coolant way. will keep an eye on it now and hopefully itl stay good. thanks guys, will let you know if theres any problems. tom

my engine is currently in pieces had the head off today but was too cold so finishing 2mro, i couldnt see any blows in the gasket and the head and block are perfect flat to within .01mm and no scratches, damage or cracks when i fill i do follow that procedure. also when i took my head off i had removed the bottom rad hose to drop coolant but the engine stayed full of coolant, any ideas why? or is this how it shoud be? thanks for the quick replys. tom
