Thanks Roger
Thanks Roger, I very tempted by the cheap dics and pads set as I reckoned the rear end didnt need to be as powerfull as the front (and I'm not one for driving fast), conformation they work well on the front of yours is reasurance ), will be ordering a set.

Ermm
A little bit worrying ) Since my new ride is on a Q plate and made up out of bits the VIN is probably no help at all. If the weather is good this weekend or I can get a few days off I will take the cover off and do a visual inspection, the edge of Kingsons belt was all chewed up (the edge towards th...

And please feel free to snipe the thread, its all good technical knowledge that people can refer to later ) I rang Maddison 4x4 about my gear issue, they suggested it may be something as simple as the bi...

Thank you
Thank you to Rod for the the Defender arches, very much appreciated. and a big thank you to Kingson for spending most of his sunday changing my timing belt, I reckon I could probably manage it on my own now but I dont think i would have figured it out working from the Haynes manual. I did find one s...

All going well so far, but the foot wells of the new Defender have some holes and I am weighing up the pros and cons of getting the welding done or buying a mig and doing it myself. Again i need some advice, about 10 years ago I had a job as a sheet metal worker, with only Arc and gas welding experi...

Old School
I must admit evrey time I use a torque wrench (which is seldom, erm only once) I then normaly check afterwards by hand to see if it feels right.
Torque settings seem to be there so they can advise the man in the street what to tighten to )
