All this fuss about crash tests... Defenders can't go fast enough to have a 'crash'. It's more of a 'low velocity close proximity incident'

^ as above, have an old 110. Cheap to run, cheap to fix, cheap to insure and good off road. Forget about motorways though.

I agree, starving an animal to death would never be deemed ethical. If the outcome is inevitable then what's the point of dragging it out? A lethal dose of morphine would probably be a pleasant exit.

...and wing mirrors for the long-sighted

From an eccentric hobbyist/motorist point of view I'd say no, it'll only get used for shooting so it doesn't matter if it's a thirsty heap. Getting it going will be relatively simple, but getting it perfect will take a lifetime. But other than that I agree :look:

I don't remember that episode of Only Fools and Horses

is the hazard switch not fused separately from the indicator? It is on mine!

I use Island4x4 for Defender parts. It's a good idea to change the oil in everything too - engine, diffs, gearbox and transfer box. Or at the very least top them up. Most likely all the brakes will be seized up and need hitting/prying/swearing to release them. As mentioned above, nearly everything rusts away on old landies. Once you get it looking reasonable give it a coat of waxoyl on the underside to keep the rot out. This will definitely keep you busy for some time

Not much difference between them... but... underlever for me. Purely because my HW97k handles so well. If I had a HW80 I would be the other side of the fence Not sure about the time to cock/load. Doesn't seem slow with the 97k, especially compared with a single shot PCP.

Didn't know anyone had a tape measure that long. Tyre choice will be important if its getting lots of road use. Chunky/agri tyres get chewed up quickly on tarmac.

Wielkie witam mnie i google tłumaczyć. I am lazy with any language

Physics 101: Energy = force x distance ....or as we know it lbs x feet Joules = newtons (force) x metres (distance) So it's easy to convert now: 1 Newton = 0.225 lbs 1 metre = 3.281 ft so... 1 Joule = 0.225 x 3.281 = 0.738 ftlbs

FAC relates to power, not calibre. As long as the air rifle is less than 12ftlbs muzzle power you don't need a FAC. Realistically this means it'll commonly be .177 or .22, and uncommonly .20 or .25 BSA meteors are usually around 9-10 ftlbs I believe.

Try taking the air tank off and putting it on again. If it still leaks get it serviced.
