There'll be nobody running away with that bench

Here's the exact item ordered for my CV, turns out it's been on 6-ish years http://www.paddockspares.com/cvkit9-cv-joint-kit-defender-non-abs-and-abs-from-vin-la930456.html

Often the Timken copies have much better markings than the genuine .....

Sometimes it makes no difference buying the cheaper item, I recall the crank sensor for my old Seat Alhambra was made by Siemens and you could buy it for something like £100 as an aftermarket, £150 as a Ford part or £200 as a Seat part ..... I've probably got those numbers slightly wrong as it was a long time ago but it was that sort of magnitude and of course it was exactly the same Siemens part.

Hence my caveat about not knowing when they change suppliers.

It is difficult as there is no telling when they may change suppliers. However as a start Britpart CV bought and fitted 4 years ago and still going strong, some green laning and a few off road courses on a 110 running 235/85 AT's Britpart waterproof seat covers MickeyW thinks they are excellent. Britpart T-Piece for brake line rear axle, have seen two of them and the thread was off centre leaving no thread on one side of hole. I will try to get the actual part numbers when I get in front of the right computer.

From what I can recall of owning non Land Rovers genuine Land Rover parts prices are not expensive in comparison to some of the other vehicle manufacturers.

There's always satellite broadband HOG, you'll get twice that speed. Of course the ping latency will stop people playing online games

The problem is that the ISP can only really control your connection to the internet, once you are being routed across the internet to some speed test web server they don't have a massive amount of control unless they happen to own the links all the way to said web server (I am over simplifying) and these links are also shared by many other users which of course impacts on your performance.

Very neat Si, I've been replacing some of the CFL energy saving bulbs in the house with LED equivalents and the instant brightness is also a bit of a change as well as being brighter in general. Will certainly look at LED tubes for when the workshop ones die.

They should do, the speed test is supposed to test the speed of your connection to 'the internet' rather than the speed of a connection to a server somewhere on the internet so prioritising that traffic would make the most sense.

I'd agree with Eightpot, streamed video services are frequently prioritised by the ISP as well as VOIP.

I have a steel top on steel box section legs for my bench but I have a sheet of 18mm shuttering under the steel plate, it seems to keep the noise down a bit.

It's an entry for 'Modified Land Rover Of The Year' apparently http://www.lro.com/news/land-rover/1603/mlroty-entry-guido-reimanns-land-rover-defender-110/ Perhaps the different colours could just be different ages or directions? That said the front wing with it's curves would be a nightmare to get that good with real plate ..... Either way it's made a mess of an early 110 station wagon

It's not eBay and as far as I know it's not for sale ... Apparently it's in LRO at the moment. I bet that's taken some work to do ....

So that's what the picture was of that they used for the ad

I would have expected a slap from the midwife if I had produced that Ross!

There's something about this one ..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222039636339

And one of those items got relisted then cancelled so he's only actually sold one thing.

Just reported it to AVCIS

Just to be clear I've added a couple of arrows to the bit I'm on about.

... perhaps I'm just overly suspicious where Mr Fear is concerned, I could be wrong.

It should look like this one But on the previous picture there appears to be a weld right along the line where the VIN would be.

The bit I think is strange is that as Pumas are still relative youngsters it's surprising to me to see it's needed a patch on the front right dumb iron.

Bowie, anything strike you as strange about this picture from one of the Pumas he has for sale? Edit: Of course we won't mention the fact that it's a 1949 2 1/4 petrol Puma either HSL 214 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/land-rover-defender-90-puma-2-4-tdci-hard-top-boost-alloys-rimney-red-electrics-/111901864243
