--- Quote from: "TechnoTurkey" ---Need to get mine replaced soon as well, I'll add it to the list of jobs!

Mine is a truck cab but i havent seen any cross members with the little bits that the rear door hinges down on?

Thats because the brackets that hold the tailgate hinges bolt onto the Defender rear crossmember...

Matt_H:
well i had a chat with safari, the main guy wasn't there so prices are guide only
£150 for cross member
£300 for heavy duty winch tray version

£300 labour

Ok £300 is a lot, but I know they will do it well, they've got a lift so can get all the access, they've done it a million times and don't cut any holes etc.

I am really tempted to do it myself, but I think I'd always be looking over my shoulder when towing, to make sure the lot was still attached!

Happy to practise on somenoe elses though ;-)

May as well get them to do the timing belt at the same time and just hand over the CC.  :shock:

They appear to be welded onto mine, looks neat enough to be factory I thought.
