Found that the splines were worn on the Britpart arm and boss on the spindle so. bought some DeWalt 'Extreme' bits and tried to drill right through and use a SS bolt and nyloc nut but, could not drill through the shaft so put a SS selftapper in and it's done the trick! 'Clack' exorcised from my life!.....

Hi Mickey, well spotted! Its not split, its the full door lifts up on rams.... Will try and find a link/pics for you... Cheers Gary

Shared mate....

I got mine made to measure from a firm that does glazing for horseboxes, motorhomes etc... Think it was about £50-60! For example http://www.vehiclewindows.co.uk/windows/index.php

Good thinking m8! as long as your sure the clamps are a tight fit!.... Cheers Gary

Hi TetsuOsan, probably done by the previous owner? Its usually the first thing people suspect when their roof leaks....

My set up..... Strangley enough, I can see my Nato hitch!!

Have you tried any of this Dioliahary?

Hi Bernie, have you been on Ashcofts site and used their ratio calculator thingy? What mpg are you getting?

Thanks lr110katy! See you have just joined LR4x4, welcome to the forum!

7 pages of reversing cams! Brilliant when hitching up to to the Sankey..... and something else to worry about while driving lol!

I put an insert of 15mm pine behind the drawer front, the base and both sides screw into this!

Hi Ballcock, today I decided not to fit handles to the drawer fronts.... It came to me that if I fit a stop at the back of the drawers to stop them going under the top, I wouldn't need handles! See pic, the drawers are as far back as they can go now....

Is that how they're staying in power? I thought it was just the British public being stoopid! Would you Adam n Eve it? Silitek spray (we use it in work)

Thought you might be interested in my thread Jim, I needed space for storage but still wanted the 6' x 4' sleeping area! http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=86567

Is this any help JR? http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=57712&hl=weasel_110#entry507098

I have been using the £10 fan heater option for years now, with a time switch from the garage... But just been working out costs and it would be the same (12p) for 30mins using the 2Kw fan or the one Tom's found...I know which one I would prefer!

I hold my hands up...I am a dumbass! Was looking at something else on the same site Doh!

Hi Tom, its Not an engine Pre heater..... This is an engine Pre heater! http://www.kenlowe.co.uk/pre-heaters/cars/diy.html But a very interesting find though mate! Will be very interesting for people looking to boost the Defender's poor de misting! http://stores.ebay.co.uk/The-Heater-Store/Heaters-/_i.html?_fsub=1403169014 Cheers Gary

Keeper, My 19J had 253k on the clock when I changed to a 150+k 200 TDi.... What are you worried about?

Hi Ballcock! That's reassuring! The reason I'm doing this is because when I was in Argyle & Bute (lovely!) I was climbing over two plastic chests every time I needed to let the dog out! Oh and, the whole drawer frame slides out too (Mission dependant you see!) Without it, I can seat 5 Ninja's in the back!...

Hi Ratty! What are you thinking of carrying in there? I'm planning to just use them for food and a light basic selection of tools! I'm sealing them in and out with a couple of coats of varnish then if they do stiffen up, will spray some silitec on the drawer bases....If that doesnt work, maybe a thin sheet of PTFE? They are a vey snug fit! Thought of runners but the cost skyrocketed to get some that came out this far.... Just trying to keep it cheap and simple (for Camping)...

Landowner, thats good news then...Mine overheated recently as I had removed viscous fan and had a second hand Saab electric fan fitted... This went to heaven mid traffic jam on the Runcorn bridge, and engine temp went way up! But I'm sure Iv'e read on this forum to change them once a year just to be sure?
