Thanks guys
Thats close enough
The one I was looking for was on the forum about 18months ago and worked between metric and impirial as well but I couldn't find it in the forum archive
-
I've done a few search's but I can't find it, there was a website that got posted can anyone remember it that works out the defiance sizes stuff like that
I can do the calcs but the visual demonstration was very good I used it for working out the best tyre without affecting the gearing on my D2

Couldn't find a write up in the tech archive, so any tips on how to get the standard bumper off?
thx
H.
I have am ARB winch bumper on my D2 I replaced the original bumper about two years ago and the main thing I found was I needed to use all my patients as its just time consuming with all the wheel arch plastic bits, fog light wiring and breather pipes and belly shields and shed loads of wd40 .

And if the MOD have been doing donuts in their tanks right by the gate again
They get to have all the fun

His had an MOT when he got it too! Pretty sure it did anyhow...
Landy looks fantastic with the new paint Jules, a credit to you.
Surely you must be able to get £700+? It ought to walk an MOT if it's not done anything.
I was waiting for your to see it.
its had a few new pannels and wings doors etc...it still starts on the button every time

Moglite's got one he was very happy with it apart from the engine gave out but other wise he still has his and seems happy with it.

I think it’s around £200 ish
My mate and Wife need to do it.....we have had quotes for a bit less but not much its in a Freelander towing a little box trailer.
I only notice after my wife renewed her licence to her married name that she had been towing the 22' caravan to LR shows, in her freelander illegally
opps! I was normally towing the car trailer as well...

I have done it to three different Defenders from 2.5d to 4.2 Auto V8s... If I can so it without making anything, anyone can.
The only complicated bit is welding RRC engine mounts to the chassis as far as I'm conserned.
Every single part you need can be bought off the shelf all you need to do is think about it I normaly can do all of it from the Def and the RRC.
The Defender 90 with a 4sp auto and a BW transfer box uses a 300tdi rear prop and a Classic front from the donor car.
If you fit the LT95 use the original front prop and the same 300tdi rear.
PM me if you have any questions

I have a S11 project I'm thinking of selling its totally un-butchered series
it's freshly painted Marine Blue has all straight panels some new and new doors and door tops basically it looks very good and original from the outside. Its a hard top with side windows
Inside is tidy but not perfect but I have not touched it since I got it.
I have never touched the chassis or drive chain the 2.25 petrol always starts on the key every time. It had a Full MOT when I started fiddling with it two years ago but has been out side on Tarmac drive.
To look at you wouldn't know its not road legal but having said that it only need a Mot and free Tax.
What would people think its worth as I simply don't have time to finish the rolling restoration....
I was thinking around £6-700 ish or am I way off the mark

hmmm.......he could be ordering a lot of Pizza!!
That's just childish

It looks like it was a nice 110 before all the extra ally was rivited to it.
-
I've sold loads on Ebay and from time to time this happens I sold the same 205GTI three times... before it was eventually collected
IMHO looking at what house he has and what car he drives is just a bit shallow
-
It's just round the corner so not vastly different from Slab. I remember a big pond in the middle that is good for splashing about in.
Yes it is like Slab but I think a little more challenging because the sand is softer.
just to let people know the entrance can be tricky if your in anything other than a 4x4 I'm not saying they can't get in just its a little tricky
depending on wheather -
I have managed to get permission from the Mod to allow Unimogs to attend our events on there land as long as there members obviously

I'm fitting a 2.8td to a 110 but I'm not using the auto its comming with as I was told on other forums that the Auto is not realy up to it so I going to us the 5sp V8 box up against the new engine. not I deal but I have a 40k manual which will be strough enough but a auto which is iffy so I'm going for the safe bet of a manual (although I don't really want a manual)

A lot of the early EFI conversion used the 2.0 moteago efi pumps my first Range Rover had one.
My racer has a swirl tanks under the fuel cell in the back and I don't suffer form fuel problems in that. (it had a external pump)

I've used this company a few times now just thought it could be of some use to other members
It was Shear's Transport, on 01202 593555
£57 + vat normal pallet collection and delivery
£64 + vat (I think it was) for express collection and delivery
I've used them before but this time its for a engine and gearbox which I said was a estimate at 200kg and they just said pallets the same price.that was from Boston to Southampton. I couldn't drive there and back the fuel would cost more than that.

I also use the older style brass rad caps on my D2 axles.

transfered 6 other v5's at the same time, all the others came back inside 3 weeks
oh dear thats not so good.
I suppose it was only a matter of time.
-
I recently sent my v5 off to re-regestered my heavily modified G wagon to my new address,
After about 6 weeks the dvla sent me a letter saying, i had to declare all modifications (with pics to back up my statements) including new engine number and alterations to wheel plan and axles. before i could get a new v5.
I am quite interested to know how they know i've modified the car as i've never declared any of the mods.
I've checked everywhere i've posted, and our members vehicles forum is the only one that has a pic showing the reg number, A few pics have got into total off road but none showing the reg.
I've sent the form off and we'll see what they want next, i'm guessing a vic minimum.
Sorry to be a bit silly but is the address change letters arn't they a standard generic one across the board which covers everything like engine, axles, paint etc.. and you could be reading it wrong, Or is is refuring to your car's exact mods,although you have widened it lengthend and and changed the engine and basicly ticking all the boxes

In 2006 the D2 did about 35,000 miles but in 2007 it did 60,000miles but in 2008 it only did about 8,000 that the joy of construction I suppose.. this year will only be about 20,000 miles
My toys don't realy do much the freelander racer only did 2003,04,05,06 put together about 2,500 miles all competertive.
The Dakar I didn't even manage 1,000 miles
The LSE was about 1,500 miles in a year
