I just paid £198 for 4x Insa Turbo Special Track with free shipping. Took a week to land from EU, and will probably set me back £60-£75 to get them all fitted. www.tyreleader.co.uk

Well the new shoes have arrived, Parcelfarce subbed out the delivery to a strange man in a white van. So Tyreleaders.co.uk are pretty good, competitive pricing and good stock, it's just the couriers that let the process down. Saying that, 6 day turnaround for 4 shoes ain't too bad, just ropey...

After my email to the French courier office, the tyres are due for delivery to my office today. It looks like their system didn't register a few scans here and there, so hopefully with me today and fitted over the weekend... The ParcelFarce depot is half a mile away, so they still have a good...

Due to the mrs needing new shoes on hers in a few weeks, I've had to go for Insa Turbo Traction Track (235/70/16). Needed 5, but had to get 4 for now, so the spare can wait another fortnight. Paid £50 a corner with shipping, however possibly the slowest shipping known to man.

They are only contactable via an online ticketing system, and will not entertain enquiries until 8 working days have passed since ordering. I've tried emailing the courier, as the difficulty seems to be with them. It should have been scanned at another depot yesterday morning, but hasn't yet...

Morning folks. I ordered four tyres from these guys last Friday. Got a pretty good price, but the domain is a bit misleading. It is a UK registered website, but based out of Germany. I have a GLS tracking number, but the parcel has been "inbound to GLS Location" for around 30 hours. I could...

As much as I had caravans and children, some people just need a slap on the back. With a pick-axe. The image on Twitter does look like the towing car finished on the RH side, so pretty impressive amount of force to do that. Lucky for the Freelander that the towing mech did shear, or the...

Greetings, people of the Internets. My T2 is running standard height, with re-indexed torsion bars. Currently on standard 16" alloys, tyres are 235/70/16. I've just had a puncture in one, so looking for a bit of a tyre refresh across the board, but on a bit of a budget. There aren't a great...

Rear discs, manual hubs as standard, solid jacking points in every corner, ad more importantly, whoever designed my particular interior, will be shot at dawn.

I've used the PRC-320 with a military phone-patch service, some 125 miles away. Have also sent data over 150 miles on one. Great bits of kit if you've got patience, masts, and a few hundred metres of copper cable!

With it being 27MHz, it would still be classed as HF band, meaning you could construct a half wavelength horizontal dipole for it, giving it epic range. Wouldn't work too well at night though. I used to do voice comms in the Army, so HF was one of my favourite mediums to experiment with...

I don't use CB (yet), but design wireless data networks of different kinds. Would that would be four watts EIRP, so the total output from the final point? The antenna could add gain, so as a result you'd need to down-power the transmitter. Then the feeder cable (from radio to aE) will add...

I've just seen how much the wheel-mate strap is, so rock sliders might actually be cheaper... It's a shame the sidesteps are so weak, they'd be great jacking points.

I have a couple of 3 tonne axle stands, so if I was changing a wheel I'd lower it onto the stand before pulling the wheel off. I've not dropped a car yet, and don't intend to start now! So the only way to lift a T2 would be via a wheel-mate strap thing... Are these alloy wheel safe?

It is mainly for recovery use, and for domestic tasks that involve violence. I'm thinking a base plate, wheel-mate and axle stand for wheel changing?

Hi guys! Me again, with another (possibly stupid) question. My Terrano original bottle jack doesn't actually lift the wheels off the ground, even without the truck being lifted. I purchased a 48" high lift jack, which weighs the same as the truck itself. Whilst I've no doubt it is up to the...

Nice, I'll keep my eye out for a Berlingo rack. Do any of you kind chaps have a picture of the inside of the roof where you've bolted through? How should I approach the weight distribution thing?

I had steamy windows, then changed the cabin/pollen filter. Never misted up since.

That's along the lines of what I want, but for a LWB. Looks sweet. Did you have to pull the headlining down and put bars across to spread the weight? I'm toying with the idea of putting my spare wheel up there, but it's heavy and I'm not 14 feet tall.

Hello, greetings, and good day. Here is how you will assist me. I have a very bog standard T2 LWB, on a W plate. It doesn't have roof rails, just a plain old boring flat roof. I want roof rails, so in future I can build a safari style roof cage. I am also incredibly tight, and don't like...
