TD5 oil filters are hard to get tight by hand as its hard to get at it The thing to do is retighten it again the next day David

Found and recovered by members of the Northants 4x4 forum last night

One of our member of our local forum had 110 nicked last night Some time last night or in the early hours of this morning, my Land Rover Defender 110 went missing - assisted I assume by some local low-life. Please keep a look out, and if spotted please call Northants Police on 03000 111 222 with location and description of driver. VRN is M 470 GGT. It's a green (metallic but patchy finish) 110 station wagon with black modular wheels and BF Goodrich ATs. Full length roof rack with wood, new rear shocks, which look black and the silver sticker can be seen. Rear tailgate spare wheel has a vinyl cover with a Northampton & Lamport Railway logo, and N44 Response sticker on the tailgate. Another giveaway is the front grill which sticks out due to being Australian model (air con), and the vents below the windscreen are blanked off. There is an extra tow ball on front bumper. Drivers doors have lettering "Works Dept." and tyre pressures on all 4 arches.

It was £162 inculding the vat it also had extentions and is 3mm thick. Mine rotted as its been backing a boat in the sea LOL David

Hi I took my mid box out last week Defender Td5 110 2000 no cat in the down pipe The 2 nuts on the down pipe came undone no probs, back pipe i had to use the disc cutter to get them off My front pipe had a cone type gasket and the rear had a copper gasket.I put them both back with some paste seems ok. It did not sound that much differant apart from hearing the turbo spinning a lot more. Cheers David
