Order a 57cm hat & you'll get a 57cm hat. We now avoid the S/M/L type ordering to try & keep returns down to a minimum as margins are fairly small & postage can get expensive. Nonetheless, the company fully observe all distance selling regulations, as you would expect. If you're going to the...

Hi, I'm responsible for the unbeatentracks website (the bad bits too, working on that). Anyone concerned about the sizing, please note that the website allows you to order the cm measurement rather than S/M/L etc. For your own confidence avoid using the more general sizing when purchasing, the...

some odd responses here. Had a 300 disco, build was poor but it never broke. Moved to nissan patrol 3.0 tdv6. Good build and never broke but it got stuck and got me 18mpg. And if u roll one the roof is not well supported. Now back in a disco, td5. 4 years and 65k miles, 35mpg and has not broken...

:offtopic: ....but the dab of yellow paint doesn't indicate if any damage was done, nor how much. I know pure landy nutters wouldn't worry about it because they can (or have a mate who can) sort any ongoing issues. I suspect the different dabs of paint could well mean different things. My...

Have read through this thread with some interest. My wife has a 3 door 50th Anniversary model (98) with the 1.8 litre petrol engine. Cost us £22k with no ABS or HDC. Beautiful looking machine though. A couple of things to consider. The three-door is actually slightly lighter than the 5...

Yes, I especially like the 'beer gut cut' option in the measurements! :o

I wore one for my wedding, in Jukkasjarvi (Swedish Lapland), -4C indoors & -18 outdoors (it was quite a warm night). Not a plaid, just the kilt. Surprisingly the only bits of me that were cold were my toes, fingertips, & .....my, er, rear end. The sealskin sporran helped keep the pressure (and...

For that money you'd be expecting Strome!

Aye, & wot no sporran! Isn't it the sporran that makes it a kilt? Still, at least we can't see the knees! :p

Or, for that matter, hitting the munros, at any time of year, on your own & covered in cotton. Such an easy place to die, our world. Mental.

Wierd innit. I hated my first Disco when I owned it. Sunroof leaks, smoky engine, fuel economy went through the floor at 45k miles, seemed to be a damage magnet (would fill a page to cover the list of things that happened to that landy), but about 3 days after I traded it in for a new Nissan...

Freelander IS a real landrover, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It may not get up killimanjaro, but put it on snow over ice & watch the defender drivers flounder. Chatting to the guys at Trailmasters, they've observed the easiest LR vehicle in deep sand is....Freelander, because it's easier...

Should've read all posts but managed to miss one. Willow bark contains aspirin (as already mentioned) & oak bark contains tannin. "These forums are excellent and I love reading them. I wonder if it's possible to build into it some sort of database to hold all this info, rather than...

Sorry, haven't been on a while & in any case etiquette suggests I couldn't really direct anyone towards a company I'm involved with. However..... Unbeatentracks buy direct from the SA manufacturer in bulk & import them into the UK. We ARE a wholesaler. PM me or drop us a line if you want to...

I've no experience of either, but my tuppenceworth is this : You've already got some idea of how cold it feels when the north wind blows in from the coast, but if you're thinking of winter camping in the northern cairngorms your biggest worry is not so much being warm enough (yes, I know it will...

Maybe I should trade in my Discovery for that - weighs 2.8 tons & the turning circle is 12 metres!

The logicold minus 40 fridge/freezer unit is the one most often found at the landrover shows. We use one on our stands too, though they are extremely heavy, and rather expensive. They can run on mains or 12v, so a reasonably powerful generator will work just as well as the car battery. Footloose...

I started typing a response to this & after the 5th paragraph realised it was getting a bit long. I did a run from Stirling to Athens & back this year (to watch the olympics). Didn't take a haynes manual, and only one spare tyre (which was never used). We DID, however, have 5 litres of engine...

This side of hogmanay I'm fairly committed to other things, but next year I'm game. Be warned, my bushcraft skills are virtually non-existent, I just like to walk in the woods. The view out my office (back bedroom) window is of Dumyat, I'm only a mile away from the Ochils. For places to go...

Jake, sorry it's come to that - I'm sure we could fix it with quicker comms though!. Anyway, the relevance of that file is indicative of a deeper issue than just the firewall. I hope your PC man knows what he's about!.
