Very interested..... you in frodsham Graham?

Once again you're spouting nonsense Shayne. Trading standards always give fair and impartial advice, and in genuine cases of fraud or misselling bring the full weight of the law, which is never a quick process.

Nonsense. Foers take the best bits of a defender, and use them as a basis for a superb off road workhorse. The defender is more of a kitcar.

Try here: http://www.leylandfabdesign.co.uk/ Give Chris a bell. If you come to an arrangement I'll let him use my 120 for taking measurements.

I rconise that KA from an issue of tor!

Near where I work! If i can collect I'll give this a go!

I've had an rv 3 for the last 4/5 years.... imo a superb tent for car camping I've used it all over the UK and france, and had no issues. Pefect for daily moves, roomy enough for longer stays. I also have an ozbed i got free with a landrover mag subscription, good bed, but aldi et al have...

Good point, when I'm towing I try to keep the revs around 2000 rpm for hills ( manual 120 ).... My lorry driving grandad used to say labouring an engine is as bad as over revving.

My tree surgeon mate uses alcohol handwipes to get pine resin off his hands / clothes. Could be the solvent to use!

Superb write up! Thanks.

Jesus Graham, are you for real? For a start I can't see a 120 making 110 mph, secondly that's absurdly dangerous and thirdly who is going to let someone drive anything like that on a test drive?

Go for the annual service, obviously numerous short runs can be more damaging than a few long runs. I service ( oil and filter) my 120 every 6 months, which is roughly 4-5k. Everything else ( diffs, fuel filter, air filter) gets done according to schedule.

Looks a good campsite.... any chance of a link? Great photo's btw!

I'll be interested in this, my mates 100 series does the same!

tough call for crispin to make! I am a subscriber on another forum, and that gives me certain privilages (use of classifieds as a seller, hidden forums) but It's a much larger, more active forum (not car related) with thousands of members. The owner tried numerous ways to fund the site...

looks good, I love my van, almost as much as i love my cruiser!

interesting read. I ve been using fully synthetic oil im my 120 for 6 monthly oil changes (4k miles ish). I've been concerned that I'm overservicing,and was toying with going to an annual change with full synth, or 6 monthly with a decent semi synth. thoughts? Does the same theory hold true...

brilliant mate!

+1, great website mate. God knows why you'd move here though!

Good video..... I'm going to plug a great forum of the back of this, British Blades: http://www.britishblades.com/forums/forum.php It's a knife forum, but has a number of other sections, 4x4, camping, gear...... Basically loads of good advice for outdoor types / gear freaks. I've been a...

Best campsite in lakes for laning: http://www.grizedale-camping.co.uk/?Home 2 mins from the start of the fox, great for all the south lakes lanes. Even better, the owner (Arthur) is a genuinely friendly farmer, and you're allowed camp fires. The pods and yurt's are reasonably priced, and...

great pics.... I saw you southbound on the M6 last week, at least i saw a 90 with a roof tent and snorkle!

my 120's due a service.......I usually use 5w 30 fully synthetic ever 6 months:may (summer) and november (winter) due to the mileage (110k) I'm thinking of changing to 10w 40 for the summer change, my logic being the lower viscosity isn't needed in warmer temperatures, and using the 5w30 in...

Me!!!!!

I've got the faffy solder to the throttle wire version, and yours is a definate improvement. It's a shame you can no longer adjust it though, I have mine on low most of the time, and get another 30 plus miles from a tank, and just turn it up for towing.

great sitecand town, we've stayed there in the past too. definately need to book in season though, we went in2011 and it was full, with a massive queue to find out there was no room.

interesting theory, my 120 'feels' slightly down on power now and again. It's got a lindop box fitted, and i thought it might be an intermittent fault with the box/ bad connection, nothing serious though, just maybe 5/10% less power, but it could be my imagination. I might start changing the...

I've got a buyers guide / review of the cayenne in 4x4 magazine somewhere. From memory they were quite impressed. Might be on their web at www.4x4i.com, failing that i can send you the mag (in ten days when I get back from Tenerife!!!)

Smart new motor!

i took them off my disco 3 ;), so iirc they are 245 70 17's, same dia as the oe tyres but thinner.

you'll find that while the speedo is always out, the odometer reading will be just about spot on relative to a gps on standard tyres. I get 28/29 mpg out of a tank, steady driving and a lindop box on low. towing my 1600kg hobby caravan it's 22/23!

120 series!!!!

just round the corner from me too, shame I only need one for the spare! as gg at2's are discontinued I might put a low bid in anyway!

Thanks for being objective!

have a look at the oztent, expensive, but very good!

I wish I was in the position to make you an offer: that is one cool car.

very informative! my 2003 manual 120 is noticably harder to shift when cold, plus it's due a change: what would you recommend as a high spec oil to use?

how you finding the 120? I had a D3 3 or 4 yrs ago, 80k, fsh 1 owner (54 plate) and had noend of trouble with it. I had it four months, and got shut before the warranty expired. when it worked, it was superb, but there was no way you can have one long term, which was my plan, so i px'd it on my...

It'll buff out.....

very nice truck! more pics!!!

:icon-rolleyes:

God knows how long they're been in the shed, but fitted these on Sunday... I guess I'll have to take it out eventually. They came vis crispin, and were reasonably easy to fit: but I had access to a pit, and a mate who's spent 20 plus years welding / fabbing / messing about with cars!

I've got a set on mine, they are very good, but i can see why other drivers dont like them! I passed the mot in nov with mine, but admit to getting twichy when behind the police! I have my lights adjusted 4 on the mway to cut down on dazzle! Your vosa comment is interesting! I carry spare oe...

remember, if you're not covered by the recall, dont have fsh, or have any other problems getting this sorted it doesn't cost much privately. West coast did mine ( unnecessarily i may add, but i only knew that after they had been changed) for well under £200 , a small price for piece of mind.

TBH I'm with OG on this one. Lane after lane is being lost due to people going off piste. OK, sometimes you might have to do it, but please don't put it on youtube. Come on, use some common sense!

Kinetic recovery= recipe for disaster. He was so lucky.

I'm getting a tractor! What are they like on fuel? I commute 40 miles a day, but red's cheaper :icon-biggrin:.

OG, I was of the same opinion about only locking the cdl when really necessary, but after a bit of reading there is a school of thought that cdl can be locked on any low grip surface: there in risk of wind up, as wheels can spin to unwind, and traction is improved due to the locked centre diff...

IIRC there's 60/40 drive rear-front on my 120, 50/50 with CDL. Lock that centre diff if there's any degree of slip in the surface you're driving on accodring to this guy http://www.4xforum.com/category/who-is-4xforum/ Saying that I've just nearly swung my rear end into a lampost 'practising'...
