Lol. Strangely I've had a lot of Messages on other forums saying the opposite but also a lot agreeing with you! I reckon it would look good on a black 90.

I've just put an RDX bonnet up for sale in the sale section but then had a few people tell me it looks really good. Any opinions? I'm guessing old hands will hate it and new Defender drivers might fancy it. Bit Marmite!

I bought this a month ago and had it professionally painted black but since decided it doesn't suit the silver 110 and would look much better on a darker 90 so its going up for sale. I'm told it makes mine look like a HUMVEE and I'm not having that! Constructed from very good quality Fibre Glass complete with correctly threaded holes for the striker and safety catch. Very easy to fit. It came in grey gel coat and was professionally painted less than a month ago externally and internally. Comes with a black mesh grill in the bulge vent. Transforms the look of your defender!! Fits Land Rover 90/110 1983 to 1991 (Including 2.5 N/A, 2.5 Turbo V8) Land Rover Defender 90/110 200 Tdi Land Rover Defender 90/110 300 Tdi Land Rover Defender 90/110 td5 Land Rover Defender 90/110 Puma/RDCI engine, on which it has been fitted. Its going to go on ebay in about a week for £325 so reasonable offers in that area as it is mint and freshly painted which cost me £100 alone. You can collect from Northwich, Cheshire near J10 of the M56 or we can try to sort out something else if required but postage is out of the question.

lol. It gets very confusing doesn't it!!

I've got a 2010 Defender 110 XS which I have been kitting out for expedition rallies and as a result I've got a load of kit from the OEM veichle that I want to sell. Its only got 10K on the clock and prior to these bits being taken off had never been on a rough road in its life so all the bits are in excellent nick. This is the stage one sell of with the interior kit following after Xmas. All I can tell you is the kit came from this car, you will need to suss which other models it fits but I'm fairly sure everything here fits 110's, 90's and TD5's.

I've been working for a while on a 2010 Defender 110 to get it ready to run a few rallys like the Help for Heroes one's across europe but also to be my shooting truck. I've found myself with lots of spare kit thats virtually new and surplus to requirements. Is there a market for Defender 2nd hand kit or is it bargain basement and not worth selling? For those who are interested this is how it looks after stage one of its makeover

Ah I see got it now! Interesting!

I'm familiar with the lamp and obviously the fact you can get filters for it but I dont know what you mean by remote handle? Just done a quick search and coudlnt find anything. Any other info on that?

I want to try and side mount some decent quality spots on the side of my 110 Defender, which has a roof rack fitted. In theory then I can dispense with my small gun mounted light and just flick a switch or scan the hedge line as I drive by. The wires from the gun light are starting to bug me and there isn't much room in the old defender to move about. ANyone done this and recommend a setup or a light that has good mounting options and perhaps can have a red or amber lense?

PRICE REDUCTION TO £550. ALSO ON EBAY I've just bought a Defender 110 to be speccd up to expedition level so the boost alloys and General Grabber TR's are surplus to requirements. They are virtually brand new. The alloys in particular are mint and the tyres have done a maximum of 500 miles and are in excellent condition. This includes the spare so there are 5 virtually brand new defender tyres and wheels lying in my garage waiting for a new home. Sizes are 235/85R/16 I'm after £650 collected but I'll listen to reasonable offers. I'm in the Manchester area.

OK mate. Sold then pending the usual.

Hale mate. I work in Knutsford during the day though if that helps.

I've sold the Rangey and have this rubber boot liner for sale. Its only ever had kids buggys on it and is a bit dusty but otherwise unmarked with no rips or tears. They go new for about £150 and I'll give it a good scrub before sale (you can see I started jet washing it so I'll finish that) but I want £60 for it, collected near Manchester.

I've been in your exact position. Ive tried the Cobra Merlin mentioned above and thought it was rubbish. I had problems with getting a scope to like it and never really got it running properly. Got my eye on the N550 next but again its all based on reviews of people flogging them although you dont see many 2nd hand N550's about which might tell a story.

Well un-scientific test completed and I've myself exactly here as well. No audible difference really. I kept telling myself the DM80 was better but at the trigger they were identical. My brother positioned 150 yards away over a flat field claims the Crack (I assume going supersonic) was slightly less pronounced with the DM80 with the SAK and a-tec being identical. DM80 will stay on the gun purely because of the quality, look and feel and because it makes the overall length slightly shorter. A litle dissapointed but softening the crack of the HMR seems to be a bit of a Holy Grail thing!!

Do they do them in silver? I've got a black one and I can make you a big flag with 'bunnies look at me' on it!!

No mate. I'm applying no science to this and it will be simply down to my judgement and interpretation of the sound. I'll try to put that into words. Not forgetting sound will bounce and absorb differently in different places. Where I plan to test its fairly open fields with some scrub woodland and some dips and hollows in the land. I plan to put a mag through each mod and go by my gut. Seen a lot of reports quoting decibels for mod's and from experience of just the SAK and the Wildcat I'd say thats not to be trusted! Just for additional info, the LEI was rubbish, expensive but rubbish. People bang on about them being military grade and dont get me wrong it was the same diameter as my rifle barrel and very short indeed but it gave a very pronouced crack at the muzle.

I've been swapping and changing moderators on my HMR for 6 months. I love the gun and its accuracy and punch but was struggling to live with the noise shooting at night. I started with a SAK, went to a Wildcat then LEI and I now have an A-Tec and a DM80 to try. Still got a SAK so hoping to go out into the field this weekend and give them a comparison test to see which is best to my own ears. Have to say I'm a massive fan of the DM80 from a looks and build quality perspective and because its an overbarrel type its actually shorter than the SAK and A-Tec. Ive place them on this picture where they would thread onto the barrel to illustrate. Anyway, test results to follow.

Why? Is this just going to be a repeat of the .17 .22 debate or is there something different with those calibers at FAC?

In my case I have a Dutch mate who is an engineer. The plan is (based on advice received above) apply for 2 slots for PCP FAC air on my licence, he brings over an airforce condor he has fettled and refined and possibly fettles my BSA Ultra to be FAC. I guess I just then fill in a registration form and send it off? How much are variation snow? Do I need one per slot or just one variation for the 2 slots?

Yeah well thats about as much as I'd guess just from a sense perspectuve. Just wondered if anyone had any real experience of doing this?

I've got a rifle that I want to tweak the power on but I'm a bit unsure about the legality and best way to proceed. I'm a bit wary of approaching my rfd after I saw them keep a gun last week that they chroned at 16 ftlb when it should have been 12 ftlb. Admitedly it appeared to be on purpose and not a mistake. Basically I have a gun that would make a great FAC rifle. I already have my FAC which doesn't include air. Do I apply for a variation to add on say a few air rifles,tweak the power and then register it as such or does my RFD have to be involved? I've been told once an air rifle has gone FAC they will never let it be considered as anything else? Any hints or tips would help me!

Ah I see. Great. Thanks

Normal bullet? What would I search for? It would need to be a large calibre bullet would it not?
