For my trip to the Alps, passing through France, Italy and Switzerland (not an EU member), I will so far be taking the following required items. If anyone can add to the list, then please do. Documents Passports Vehicle registration (V5) MoT Certificate of motor insurance. Equipment...

Hi Greetings from a new member. I’m fitting out a 2006 110 TD5 Station wagon XS for Africa. I’m not keen on the standard ‘Boost’ alloys with general grabbers (OK, and neither is my 4x4 obsessive teenage son :)), so will keep these as road spares, and replace with steel rims and...

How do guys and gals. I'm fitting a deep cycle leisure battery to my 90 to power a fridge and other stuff. I'll have a split charge box in it so the alternator will charge which ever one needs it, main or leisure. I've got a battery isolator on the negative side of my battery currently which will...

Hello! My name is Fernando. I'm Brazilian and I've started a world trip about four months ago with a Defender 110 300 Tdi. I've travelled through South and Central America. My next step is reach USA and send the car to England. After that, cross Europe and go South Africa. All the trip is being...

I need to understand the weights mentioned in the technical data of the MOD Sankey widetrack trailer user handbook. If anyone could enlighten me I would be grateful... They are: Weights: Unladen 509kg Laden (maximum) 1190kg then it gives another figure that confuses me: Capacity 0.75...

Hi again, For my next trick, I'm looking to upgrade the suspension on my 110 CSW to Heavy Duty to help with all the overland kit, but don't necessarily want to lift it. Bearing in mind everyone's dislike of britpart, are there any other standard height HD springs / dampers available? I can...

Hi I'm looking for some advice on choosing a fridge. I have a 110 Station Wagon which is set up for camping, with me and the missus sleeping inside it. At the moment we are mostly camping around the UK, but are planning to go on longer trips to Europe later this year, and possibly to North Africa...

Hi chaps. Heres my query, I have a 110 with a fantastic Brownchurch Expedition rack with built-in Jerry holders and platform bla-di-blaa... I also have a Howling Moon/Eezi-awn type roof-tent. Obviously for the tent to fold out it must not be obstructed, but with it only able to sit within the...

guys anyone have any knowledge of the above seen one on net for £150 looks to be a ridge tent mounted on the side of a vehicle looks like a defender but cant see it clearly any views on this thanks

Hi everyone, Can anyone recommend a good set of rear dampers for my 110 expedition vehicle? Bluey has heavy duty springs (Terrafirma) which I am very happy with but the dampers are a little bouncy when laden. Bluey has extra 45 litre tanks for water and fuel under the rear wheel arches and a...

I was just reading a thread about wheel bearings and it got me thinking... I was particularly interested because my CV joints are shot and sound like Perry the Platypus and need replacing, and I have thrown props on both the Range Rover and S2 which made progress 'tricky'.... So... I will...

Hi all, Been looking at all the kit needed for my Africa trip. And today it's snorkels. From what I've found so far, they seem to vary in price from £60 - £200+ Is there really that much difference between them to justify that price differential? Any and all thoughts welcome :) ...
