  1. the ones dean's on about certainly are:scared1:
  2. is that the tower brewery dean or magnets? I know it won't be humphrey as he is quite a conservationist.
  3. how d you know it was a bedford, nowhere in the thread is there any mention of a bedford except in your reply?
  4. are you not showing us your shelander then rich?
  5. isn't £3k all you needed for your caterham, john?
  6. for insurance look at one of the specialist firms such as lancaster or footman james, they all advertise in the back of the land rover magazines.
  7. you could try a viair compressor which can pump up truck tyres fairly quickly and they are quite popular in the off roading community
  8. sorry tcd i wasn't implying yours was but i was just warning alasdair that some farmers aren't quite as scrupulous as the previous owner of yours was and thrash the bejeezus out of their vehicles before selling them.
  9. if you do get a defender look into its history ie has it been used on a pig farm and been driven through slurry as pig slurry is corrosive as hell because of the urea in it so check the chassis.
  10. Alasdair, as was said earlier if you want a defender, go for one if you are prepared for a love hate relationship with it. Once you get one, they get under your skin and you'll kick yourself if you don't get one. Just don't go charging into buying one like i did, have a look at a few, take someone who knows what they are looking for with you to look at it or get the AA or RAC to give it a once over. If the seller (if it's a private sale) doesn't like it, then just walk away, they're hiding summat. Here speaketh the voice of bitter experience:mad1:
  11. LRM magazine does two t-shirts which say it all about land rovers really: 1) Existentialism explained- i'm a land rover owner therefore i am and 2) It's a land rover thing, you wouldn't understand long live lode lane:001_tt1:
  12. should be http://www.witham-sv.com
  13. Take someone who knows about land rovers and what to look for when you go look at one, i didn't and bought what looked like a peach but turned out to be a complete raspberry and it is now costing me about £500 to put right what was wrong with it. Also go for one of the tdi's as the 2.5TD is the most gutless engine ever to come out of lode lane. Get hold of a couple of the land rover magazines and have a look through the classifieds or try these websites: http://www.withamsv.com http://www.ljacksonandco.com http://www.exmod.co.uk
  14. like the spauling on the stem nearest the ladder bob:001_tongue:
  15. i was at the duke of kent school near peaslake, probably where i got my love for trees. Do you know the hurtwood inn, serves a very nice pint of hog's back T.E.A
  16. could be why he looks slightly confused:001_tongue:
  17. woodpicker if you look at my profile you'll see i'm 31 so i was 10 (same age as buzz) when the storm hit. The school i was at is near holmbury st mary in surrey and backed onto a huge FC plantation which was mostly flattened and the school was cut off for about three days until the road could be cleared.
  18. what storm? I slept through those breezes we had in the south of england in october of 87:ohmy:
  19. dave, todd's probably looking for some posh kids to hurl abuse at.
  20. i've got a t22 in the north if someone needs it but again it needs a loler check. Pm me lee if you find someone to look after the northern kit.
  21. happy new year everyone! Scottie why didnt you try and make it down to the fox tonight, hogmanay was hoofing.
  22. those gropples must be at least eight foot and nine tooths!
