BFG M/T's or Cooper STT's? Any experiences with either, good or bad. Had old type BFG'S before but not the new ones & know nothing about the Coopers. Any help appreciated! 👍

Thanks for the replies. Is there a best one to go for? Are Terrafifma ones OK? Cheers!

Hi all! What's everyone's opinion on fitting wheel spacers. Should I, shouldn't I? Safe or not? Cheers!

Hi all! I was wondering if somebody can give me advise on my suspension. I have a td5 Defender that is sitting higher at the front. When I got it it had a brand new front bumper. My thinking is it had a winch before so possibly has heavy duty front springs, making the front higher now. My options are a new set of standard or 2" lift. How important is it to go cranked radius Arms with a 2" lift, can I get away without them? Thanks for any advise!

Hi scatt, did it cost much to get the system turned off?

Hi tiagoc no affraid not,tried that 1st & still approx 1/2" of play. Have now taken off the front rails from the bases & glued & screwed new wider & deeper rails that fit the mounts.Thanks,Terry.

Hi all, Sorry, but i'm after some of your knowledge again. I recently posted (http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=68057) about fitting the seats into my Series 3 that i aquired in bits with approx 10% of them bits missing. I have since fitted the seat backs but the bases are still a problem. I have enclosed a pic of what i have put together by looking at the parts manual,but am not sure if i have the little L shaped brackets at the front,the right way around, or if i have any bits missing. The bases have a wooden rail running across them, but by the time it hits the L brackets the base is too far forward. Any help would be much appreciated as it's only this & seatbelts stopping it going for it's 1st MOT since 1993 (garaged). Cheers, Terry.

whilst it's taking up the slack in the drive train!!!

I wanted to do this to mine but I think 3 point belts are required after 1967 i beleive. Terry.

Thanks Gazzar, Just checked & the hole in the seat back is threaded for a 10mm bolt, so i guess with a couple of washers thats the back sorted but the base seems to sit on top of the rails & not in between, although there are small L brackets at the front of the inner rails. Any ideas? Cheers, Terry. Forgot to say,they are not the standard seats but what i think are refered to as Deluxe.

Thanks Mr Bean, at least i know i am missing something. Cheers, Terry.

Nice, looks just like mine. Cheers, Terry.

Where have all the pics gone? Cheers, Terry.

Hi all! Having aquired a series 3, 2.25 petrol in full stripped down kit form that has been garaged since 1994, i now know i am a few bits missing. I have it mostly rebuilt & running, but on coming to fitting the seats i think i am missing some bits/brackets. I have the long brackets that bolt to the seat box(see pic) but i think there should be something between it & the seat. Also i have nothing to secure the seat bases, any ideas? Can anybody help with whats missing & would anybody have any going spare? Its only the seats & seatbelts stopping me from taking it for an MOT & would love to get it back on the road, so i can take the old guy (78) who gave it to me, for a run. Any help would be much apreciated, Cheers, Terry.

Thanks Les, siezed clutch slave it was, Cheers, Terry.
