complete radio silence, on our Terr, i am going to ask mam to chase up, for the sake of updates on here. they are looking at possible suspension upgrades, maybe you lads can offer what you lads run. its used for towing. they had the terriafirma stuff on at the moment, and they are not going to use that stuff again. My experience from my 300, was practically not much different from the standard Britpart stuff. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Land rovers are designed for towing. Just go with standard suspension parts, there’s no benefit to spending more on ‘upgrades’.

^ Agree but also slightly disagree with the above.

My 110 towed our horse box far better with Blisteins and ARB's fitted.

I like the look of the new Alive Spec Bilstein Advance dampers

well i did a bit of digging, and found the companies Facebook page, that is rebuilding this. By the looks of things the rear tub was refurbished and was in grey primer. That was the 4th of feb. Also when they said about the house old wiring been used. Well after seeing the photo, my dad said, that's the bloody AUX wiring for grey towing socket!
They still not gotten back to them on progress, and they have had the defender since back end of December. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

My dads bought a NAS bumper, nicked the idea off me, as that was what i was going to fit to the 300 tdi and Beatie.
Sadly they have not heard any progress on Terr. He is a miss, i recon i will have to let my mam use Beatie for work. The odd time, just so she can keep her hand in with defenders. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Hope you hear good news soon.
People are sometimes too busy doing what they do to communicate - but it doesn’t take much to pick up the phone or send a text.

Fingers crossed 👍

Sounds positive.

You can’t rush these things.

Hopefully we will soon see the work in progress.

managed to get around to uploading some photos, that mam sent me over, they are as screen shot sadly, but it gives you lads an idea of the state it was in behind the scenes and how far they are on with it.
