  1. I am thinking of fitting some of these to the front and rear of my Land Rover Defender. I only very rarley do any sort of recovery so they would not get a lot of heavy use.

    What do people think they are more for towing race cars but would they hold up to a recovering a stuck Landy.

    I don't want to put a steering guard on my new Puma these seemed a nice alternative.

  2. Ever since I have owned my 110 the heater has been rubbish. more like an asthmatic blowing on the windscreen than anything.

    So when the heater fan stopped working it didn't make too much difference.

    Now the Mrs is complaining and I could do with a bit of heat on these cold mornings, but looking around there must be a better product than just replacing the old fan.

    How much heat does the eberspacher D2 kick out, could I use this instead to warm the car up and defrost the windscreen.

  3. I have a 1985, Land Rover 110, which has been fitted with a 200tdi from a discovery.

    My exhaust has decided that it needs to be changed. as part of it fell off last night. I might as well change all of it in one go.

    Is there any difference in the down pipe from a discovery 200tdi and a defender one. I can't work out which one will fit the car.

    Any advise would be welcome.

  4. Went for a drive last night in my E Reg 110, everything was fine until the throttle peddle started to stick, It wasn't sticking on the mats, I could lift it up with my foot but it made no difference.

    As it was getting dark and I had my daughter in the car I headed for home quite a scary ride.

    Once home I found a touch, it looks like the reset spring on the throttle cable under the bonnet was not resetting, Quick squirt of WD40 and a little wiggle and it freed up. Although it's not acting right.

    Is it possible to change just the Spring, or do I need a whole unit, The spring on the throttle is not so good either I'll have to give that a good clean as well, or replace them both if its an easy job

  5. How close does the roof rack fit against the roof of the 90, is there anyway the surf board could fit in between.

    (never seen a surf board up close so no idea if this is a stupid suggestion).

    As for the fishing rods, could you not use plumbing pipe, in 2m section collapsible when you are away to store in the car, but easy enough to add together to store the rods and attached to the roof of the 110,

  6. I have a Landrover 110 fitted with a desco 200tdi engine. I have a small leak on the cooling with is coming form the bottom rad hose where it joins the engine.

    Is there a difference between the disco and the defender engines when ordering the hose and if so which one is best for my car.

    Want to order the right one to save the Mrs having a go at my again.

    Many thanks

    Neil

  7. Went a few years ago, with the Mrs. Agree the Blue lagoon is a must, for anyone. Also have a look at the 4x4 tours we took one to the top of a glacia, had a great time, not something I would have attempted in a hire car.

    We also did the whale watching, which was very cold and we saw nothing but that's just pot luck.
