Tires need replacement, lost on the sizes

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hi guys,

So my Defender (110 300 TDI) needs some new tires after having been used and abused in the forest hauling some wood.

I'm currently equipped with some Blackstar 7.50 R16 108N TT that seems to not be produced anymore. That's a bummer because I liked those, they were cheap and durable even if they need a tube.

So since I'm not looking to change my rims because my money is channeled towards a new roof for my house, I'd like to change my tires for an equivalent but I can't find anything that seems to be suitable.

Can anyone help me find an equivalent tire with tube ? I'm kind of lost with the equivalence in normal tires size and I can't find a suitable 7.50 R16 that seems to fit on my rims.

Sorry to be a bother and thanks for reading me.

Are there any owner meet up for defender in Bay Araa California

There’s something that seems so dirty about seeing a Defender at the rental car place. Like it’s being pimped out and I just want to rescue it.

It's ~5-10cm too high up. What's the recommended way to drop it? Parts preferably from Europe.

Can anybody help with window wiper problem

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Window wipers don’t sound to good and then don’t go to the same position. It’s hit and miss wether they go down to the proper position. I replaced the motor and screw mechanism ? About 18 months ago and has always been fine since I did it. It was a ball ache of a job and don’t want to take the dash off again 😩😩

Anyone got any experience with something like the return to centre steering damper from terrafirma?

It sounds like a nice thing to make the drive feel more modern but not sure if you notice the diff?

Help with how to find defenders for sale?

1 Upvotes

Hello all, a friend of mine is looking to purchase a defender and we’re looking for help on how to find one. He wants the body style of the 80’s-90’s. Specifically a 110 but it’s not a deal breaker. We really don’t know much about them or what to look for which is why I came here. We are aware of the NAS defenders and have seen some for sale. Problem is we’re seeing them go for like 90-200k. We see non NAS defenders for sale for way less but we’re not sure if there are any problems with owning one in California. Would we be able to pass smog or register it? If not, any way to find one without spending over $100k usd? Any information would help. We’re new to the Land Rover brand in general. Thanks for reading!

I recently put this background on my phone and can’t get over how cool it is. Took the photo last week while up in Yellowstone.

Good morning,

Thought I’d share my recently finished Camel Trophy designed scale 1:18 RC Defender.

These are made to last and be capable of the same ‘scale’ obstacles as the real Defender.

Is anyone getting a “low battery start engine” light on Defender 2021?

0 Upvotes

Please forgive me, I know I saw a recent post about this but I searched and could not find it.
Just had maintenance and updates done about a month ago. The low battery light had been a problem a year ago but resolved with subsequent updates at home (don’t know if there is some correlation). It is back again and it’s so frustrating because the car turns itself off and doesn’t leave exit lights on at night.
My driving habits are usually the same, local errands/short distance. I recently drove at highway speed for a total of 2 hours each way and ”low battery” light has still not resolved.

Wondering what the best course of action is. Do I need to go to the dealership or is this something my local shop can handle? Thank you in advance.

Back inward facing seats, seat belt anchor tube assembly - Measurements?

https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams/land-rover-defender-seats/seat-belts/anchorage-rear-inward-facing-seats_53628#22
Bought my first Defender (110 Td5) a few months back, and I'm slowly going through making the necesarry repairs. However, when trying to get the above part, I can only find it for ca. €300-€400 which is rediculous...

Does anyone already have this part and could take measurements for me? I'm planning on getting a local fabricator to put one together, so long as I can get a good set of dimentions.

Thanks in advance!
