Great that it passed, as said before I need to get mine booked in for new rear brake pipes, on a brighter note I replaced my headlamp bulbs today with the Osram night ones recommended on this forum and took the opportunity to have a good look at my front cross member, it is solid so guess either...

Alex will be along soon working out he can put 44" tyres on it and massive bumpers and even carry a spare wheel to get him home after a puncture.

I only drive autos but they are expensive as they do go wrong often, a lot of my previous vehicles have had problems with the auto box, small little £350 for a new pump thing in my Vectra to 4 replacement gearboxes in my transit. But so much nicer to drive when they are working correctly. Kind...

Closest metric size seems to be 265 85 15 which makes sense as slightly narrower than my 285s so he has a chance of them not rubbing to bad, I hope.

Are you sure that tread pattern is aggressive enough for your needs :) So you keep saying 33" what actual size are they. Kind regards Russell.

Taken out the ashtray! so now where you going to keep change for car parks etc... Kind regards Russell.

It's all about tyres when it comes to ruts, this is my Patrol beached on 265 70 16 but the Defender about to pull me out is on 285 75 16 that extra inch made all the difference. Mind you my next job is to sort my towbar out as you can see I was ploughing most of the way down that track. Kind...

I had the grill etc off as was fitting replacement headlamp washer pump so could see most of the cross bit, I will replace brake pipe as mentioned on mot and also the garage that lifted it said about a section on the back so better safe. Kind regards Russell.

Had a look at my rad bit the other day, perfect no rust so that made me happy, however last mot mentioned corroded brake pipes so will get them replaced in summer and also need new front pads but will sort in july time for mot. Kind regards Russell.

Not just any old picture but a picture of the recovery point if possible, what ever one of them is !!

CBs are much of a muchness really but would say make sure you get one that does all frequincys ie am/fm believe there is uk fm and another fm also. Kind regards Russell.

Adrian Flux do good prices and allow mods but be aware they will do everything to get out of paying a claim. Kind regards Russell.

We had our windows done a couple of years back, got a quote from Everest so funny only wanted an approx. price but they will not give that they have to come out and measure and take full design details, good couple of hours work then did the quote another hour later he gives us an exact figure...

Buy a Patrol as suggested above live axles 35" tyres with nothing more than a 2" suspension lift and one of the best off roaders out there. Get the 4.2 and you can even run it on what ever yo u choose. Just please do not put bad bumpers on a Patrol. Kind regards Russell.

Ian, Used 3 m12 nuts on mine, it is held on with 3 long m10 bolts so I put wound a small piece of masking tape on the bolts thread this allows you to put bolts in wheel with nuts on the back that do not fall off as you lift wheel then just lift on and tighten. Cost pennys Kind regards Russell.

We have it very light here in Hertfordshire but hopefully now its started it will continue. Kind regards Russell.

Love the receiver hitch on the back of the patrol, that's what I want on mine. Kind regards Russell.

How strange I ordered a tap a couple of days ago to clean out the threads as they are full of mud and I planned to put something in there as the other day I got towed on ruts but my recovery point was on the other side to the towing vehicle and it kept pulling us out the ruts causing lots of...

My Headlamp washers did not work and the bottom had fallen off the pump, still made a noise but no water. Kind regards Russell.

Alex, I use this website for tyre sizes as gives both imp and metric. http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp also the yokohamas I suggested are muds and I be;ive are better on and off road than kingpins. Kind regards Russell.
