I've had a play in a few defenders and you cant beat the 90's for sheer manouverability. I could go into much more interesting places than my mate in his 110.... But if you need load carrying then 110 it will have to be. I had a TD5 with ABS/Traction Control/Electric windows... all mod cons... In th...

No I dont agree... and anyway, the stone has had its licence suspended now :p

PS: My new screen looks sooo clean.... and its laminated... Went up the snow farm 3 times this week, covered it in mud and with one wash of the wipers its clean with no streaks.... I'm sure that wont last tho ....

Just a note about recovery points... I was an unfortuante witness to a tow hook breaking last year (the bolt heads sheared off) so I would reccommend you take your truck to an Engineer and get them to make sure all Tow Points/Hooks/Bolts etc are rated at a minimum of 10Tons... why 10Tons, well the s...

Doh, Turns out I forgot to grease up the stoppers.... see what happens when I try and fix problems in the rain!!!!

Hokay.. .first problem I cant seem to locate... When on full lock and going over bumps, or the kerb, basically whenever there is large suspension travel on full lock I get a banging noise from the front end.... have just had new ball joints fitted, so I dont think its those... have checked all the b...

If in doubt I usually just phone the local DOC office.....

To laugh, well I did, it's happened to me before, so I was quite calm when my windscreen shattered. 1. The film I'm talking about is clear, without a tint. It's legal in the UK... but here well you'd have to answer that ;) 2. My car is a 1986 model Datsun/Nissan so it is possible it was imported, wo...

Hey guys, Just had my windscreen shatter at 100km/h from a stone.... so I have two questions: 1. Do you know anyone who sells window film, ie the clear film you put on the inside of the windscreen so glass doesnt fly everywhere when the screen shatters. 2. What do you use as a temporary windscreen? ...

If only I had cash...

So the others wont get one?!??!?!

wjw

I've got one, well actually its a Datsun... but I haven't needed help with it yet.... unless of course someone knows how to tilt the window (in/out) as it catches on the top of the door when trying to close it at over 50kmh

Unfortuantely now... I only have monday of Qbday free.. am doing a chauffered type trip somewhere around Alex on Sunday for a group and on Saturday am hopefully going down to Laurence for a Forestry trip...

Trip Time: 2 hrs + Distance: 30Km's ish Obstacles: 4 or 5 creek crossings and 26 gates Note: Tons of livestock so make sure you leave the gates as found, if in doubt close them.. From Wanaka, heading south on Highway 8, turn hard left after the Lindis river bridge, easy to miss this one so slow down...
