I've run Indespension, but the local branches car trailer is off the road for a fortnight
Winton,
Where is the Disco located & where is it going to?
I may be able to help.
Hi Stuck, The disco is in Bedford (I don't have exact address yet) and it wants delivering to Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire

Hi guys, I've effectively bought a new project vehicle (3.9 V8 Disco) to build a Tomcat, however, I'm having trouble arranging collection.
Has anyone used any good car transporter trailer hire companies in the West Yorkshire area? I've got my Defender for towing so that should be fine, but ideally I need to collect on the 2nd of June.
Thanks guys!

I'm hoping at least one one the programs will use a Defender

Towed a bust L200 on a 6 mile drive of shame.

So you can vouch for Rebel 4x4's quality then? We like the look of their jack-able sills and they are half the price of Mantecs.

Some 2 year old milk, a change of radio codes written on the sun visor and a free folk cd (cab to bin in less than a second)

There's some side profile shots on here:

Another vote for STT's. Not road biased but still very good

BecUae they are hard-wearing, practical vehicles for farmers, utility companies etc. Also, by sheer chance they are visually quite well designed and have gained a following. The Defender (or Defndoor if your American ) has great offroad performance and these vehicles are hand made to exacting (sic: wobbly) standards.

I think we should get a Land Rover TV channel, that would be awesome

If the A-Team made Land Rovers

Agree with you losing bottle first. Parking on a Hugh curb in a defender with big wheels on is exaggerated. Often you'll think a slope is not possible, get out and realise your literally just a bit of vertical centre. There's no official angle quoted as said but it's suggested to be between 35 / 45.

We've got loads in Yorkshire:

Got more last night up here, looks like its gonna keep going too.
Very, very jealous. No snow here yet!

I think your sig gives you a clue - a twitter or facebook style app may be more appropriate / easier / more popular than having to log onto another website.
Interesting, totally agree too, I hate signing up for extra stuff. Will look into using probably Facebook logins.

I like to have a load of projects on the go at once and one of my latest ones is a greenlane organizer. I've not nailed the details, but I want something a bit more sophisticated than having to post on a forum and asking people to come with you. I thought about making a location searchable database of drivers and allowing users to contact each other to set trips up? Pointless or useful? I know always need someone to go with as I don't know anyone else with a proper 4x4.

Check out: http://www.forgetec4x4.co.uk/ and http://simmonites.com/wheeladapters.htm
They're not cheap parts and as western has said, you'll need to be careful with weights. Give Simmonites a bell, they should be able to help you out as they often do road conversions to Defenders (such as this one)

Thanks very much sir!

I've got a little problem in that my paint code for the 99 V Reg TD5 90 isn't listed in the manual, VIN plate or plate in the engine bay. It's just blank. Any help on picking the paint code? It's a solid white color, I've attached a picture.
Using the paint codes from here:
http://www.stephen.hull.btinternet.co.uk/nonmetallic.html
The only colors that tally up with date is German Border Police White ( ) and Chawton White 2ct. I thought it was Alpine white but this doesn't tally up with year. Any help?
-
I've decided against fitting one, it seems that I'd never be able to use them and the whole Land Rover community is united in thinking if you have no legal use and still fit one, your a Burke.
Point taken

That's quite all-right, it's one of those questions that has arisen before in the past along with such things as..
Who's the best insurance company.
What's the best rust-proofer and exactly what bits need squirting with it.
Does my rear crossmember need replacing.
How do I get the SWR down on my CB.
Will these tyres destroy my wheel-arches.
I wanna lift my motor 6 inches, how do I do it for £15.
What's making my steering all wobbly.
What colour is it.
How do I stop the water getting in.
How do I stop the water getting out.
Now that you mention it, I'm not sure what color white my 90 is..... :lol:

Thank you sir!

My 1999 Defender TD5 90 was beginning to look a little tired, it's been my runabout for over 5 years and after a lot of hard winters up north - it's definitely suffered. :oops:
I boughtthe wife let me purchase this 110 Puma, which has been a fantastic Land Rover!
