For the cost of travelling and quality of work, you can get one much cheaper with Black Sheep Off Road. Yes he does still do crossmembers, and they are better than any other type you can buy, and the rust traps are sealed off.
The website seems to be down at the moment, but you can contact Clive at the following Contact details:- Tel 07786 995303 Email:- cliverlamb@gmail.com 1998 110 300Tdi White Hard Top |

I was aware of Black Sheep but he closed his business and stopped trading earlier this year. A pity as his stuff looked very good. Blott

It is so confusing about whether he actually closed. He was due to move workshop in September this year, given we are still in September, I will be amazed if he's given up already. It's worth ringing that number to find out. 1998 110 300Tdi White Hard Top

Thanks I will give him a call. It looks as if he has had a change of heart as he had been ill and lost his premises earlier in the year so posted that he had packed up. Blott

Just on the price quoted, thought I'd share my latest experience.
Had some donut run in the back of me the other week, and as you can imagine the crossmember did a sterling job in taking one for the team. Anyway a quick call to the insurance company and the Landy is whisked to the local repair shop. The extent of the damage was mainly bent crossmember, plus some cosmetic work to the rear corner. Total price £4,500!!!! |

So what went wrong this time Clive?
I paid for a crossmember back in October, should have been delivered early November and we stripped my Defender down to the bare chassis for galvanising after the new crossmember........ One broken promise after another, no response to phone calls or emails and finally a one line email to say he is going out of business again. Big let down! Still waiting for that refund you promised Clive! www.AllPackedUp.com |

I wish you had checked your bank account before posting no refund.
Secondly it was a one off prototype that needed mucking about to get it working with a winch, shutting the back door and fitting a td5 tank back in, not make one and sling it in the post |

The refund came through after I posted, it's a shame I had to post to get it!
Secondly, you knew what you were taking on and you assured me you could deliver on time! It's a shame you are going out of business again as there is clearly a demand for a decent product at a reasonable price but communication is key when dealing with customers and people soon see through waffle & ![]() |
