  1. thats what i wondered but i thinks he's probably sold the other bits under different names on ebay or private just have to see what the police have found or not found they said there was alot of stuff there so dont know what they have got/not got
  2. i think thats what they are investigating they already had IP address, address, etc a few hours after reporting it with the police so will have to see going get updated tomorrow they phoned me today 12-1ish to say they were there he was under arrest etc and phoned me at 6ish this evening to say whats happened threw out the day so have really go to town on him luckally
  3. it is gutting but not as gutting as never knowing what happened too it, just really hoping he gets what he deserves time will tell
  4. well police bit all sort now bloke arrested but cant prove he was the one who stole it so can only be done for handling stolen goods (dont no what that gets him, slap on the wrist or jail) this is what is left of my once pride and joy have to see now what the police finish off with and insurance come back with sad ending to the story dave
  5. lol i thought that at first but the people they need are working on other jobs and it was too late to get things sorted for today so gotta wait
  6. i will post pics next week of the out come as police cant do anything till monday sometime.
  7. i just got a phone call off a mate he has seen it on ebay only as a rolling chassis i have got numbers etc going try get an address in a bit have told police what can i do now to get him for it (p.s will try not to do anything stupid ) i would put details up but i dont want to compromise the chance the police finding out who has done it so not sharing anything yet sorry
  8. i wont be buying a second for now anyway no way i can afford to build another one for a bit, future plans for a Td5 hard top, standard ish for laning is the way i'm thinking or disco td5, but wont be untill the insurance goes threw etc. me mates who went 2 weeks before mine is doing the same problem with all this is insurance is now doubled, £420 for me landy everything declaired, now just shy of £800 for a £650 golf diesel just have to wait. i advise everyone who has a truck to do anything, wrap a chain tight around the steering wheel and pedals, at least it may slow them down and make a racket as there removing it. i've been asking around and a friend of a friend had both his v8 trucks nicked, one at 2am ish got fired up and driven off they went out searching etc called police but it had disappeared, went back to bed at 4am ish to be woken up by his other truck being started and driven away. i've heard 10 a week are going locally
  9. there was no glass, plastic or paint on the floor around mine so i'm guessing a simple piece of metal between glass and door to pop the button up on the inside is how me mate thinks there getting in, mine had new barrels etc as they got buggered in the salt threw winter but mine was definately not driven away it has a straight threw pipe that wakes me mum up every time it is started, so pushed or towed away till they could drive it i guess
  10. cheers for the kind words everyone totally gutted there have been loads going round here recently me mates got took 2 weeks ago just one of the grim facts of life
  11. hi everyone just to ask every to keep there eyes open for my defender 90 truck cab was stolen last night from outside my house very destictive truck. 300tdi truck cab galv chassis 8274 twin motored front winch on scorpian racing tubular bumper simex jungle trek, 34x10.5 scorpion 3" lift kit security box in the back recaro seat inside loads more that cant think of now so few pic's i know slim chances of seeing it again but worth a try 07739342965 cheers dave
  12. thinking back now paul when i was over there and we went big mama's (very nice indeed and the food was nice too ) we came back to the truck and it wouldn't start did this to start it when you went to borrow a battery was this the same or another reason? dave
  13. without sounding rude as i'm not sure best way to word it all but, i dont see how a faulty alternator problem can cause now dash lights/no starting/no power, yet it has been said there is power when the truck is turned off but not when it comes to restart it. granted there is a problem there with the alternator charging but i dont see how this can be the starting problem
  14. it also rules out the alarm/immobiliser you could disconnect the second better completely for now while you test as long as the other is earthed etc
  15. is it not worth trying the alarm/immobiliser set up? go to a place far away from people sit in vehicle arm alarm wait, usually 10 secs, then set it off, make sure no keys etc are in the ignition until its going off. and before disarming it try to start it if you have no dash lights thats telling us its wired in to the ignition and could be the source of the problem, if you get dash lights its time too look else were. another fault could be the ignition barrel on its way out maybe, only guessing here as not sure what they go like when there going out.
  16. IIRC the winch, ARB's and power inverter are connected directly to one of the batteries and i think but not 100% sure the CB is too. everything else is connected to the defender original wiring loom, connected to the other battery. if it happens again it maybe worth checking these other things to make sure they work to rule out the batteries, also keep the multimeter close and check voltage of both batteries next time very very long shot but if its down to lack of voltage you may have one dead battery once stopped then the 10min allows the battery to save enough power to bridge the split charge allowing starting off the good battery(i know i know very long shot but may be ) also split charge is x-eng so doubt any poblems there. the only damaged wires that we found were the ones going to the wiper motor, these were re-insulated all other wiring that i could get to was fine, including IIRC engine bay.
  17. hi yep we did do it an noticed there were plenty of off pisting going on and someone had tried to stop it with tape and signs but these had been flattened and people now carry on regardless river levels were sinilar to the summer levels so was all good only wish i hadn't done it the way i did as it left us with no more to do from the end we finished at altho lovely scenery driving out
  18. Cheers Paul all I can find says it is open but just thought I would ask the question as it is a fair drive to do it
  19. Does anyone know if the Strata Florida is open, me an a mate are looking at a trip down to south wales for the day to do, it plus a few others while down there.
  20. i have a laptop off ebay (£50) and also have memory map (which i bought new but you can load it up to your computer if you know someone with a copy) and a GPS receiver (£20-£50 worth spending the extra getting a decent one) and last an inverter which was £20. an jobs a good'n you can also get mounts to mount it or you can make it your self then gives you pin point mapping
  21. cheers western and part1cle there just the bits i'm after i had been searching devon and people but couldnt find them never heard of LRS but about spend a few pounds on nice new shiney bits i remember when i was going get some last time from scorpion that they were 80quid ish which was why i didnt get them now i have folded my rear quarter i might need them

  24. in wales in the van i had to keep a constant speed of 30-40mph to be able to get up the hills after having to reverse down three due to spinning out going up them sp kept a steady speed light on the foot an luckally got up the rest altho was a mer of a day after asking the boss why were we out in this his answer is if you crash thats why we have insurance if you dont then we had done are job, one lad phoned in (the only person that did) an said he wasnt coming in, so the boss told him he would get someone else do his job. nice
