My 1999 Td5 90 has some 5 spoke alloy "Disco" wheels (possibly called Freestyle 90 Choice?), c/w BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A LT 265/75R16 tyres.

Why do the front wheels of the Defender appear to spin more rapidly than the rear wheels (for example at time 00:15)? I'd have thought that they would have been the same?  |

Clear ones should be banned as they don't show Orange when bulb not lit. So only obvious the lamp unit is an indicator when powered.
And the problem with that is? 
PS I _much_ prefer orange! |

Hmmm, seems it _might_ have been a bit low on fuel.  . I knew it didn't have loads in, but never thought it would be that sensitive to low quantity. Still, 20 litres has solved my problem  |

If your Defender is the 1995 300TDi as indicated by your profile thingy, then yes you can.
At what point did the rules change? (Have to say I didn't realise that there were any at all ). |
