  1. Thank you very much for your offer. I phoned the parts department at my local dealer and they sorted me out with the part No but at over £3.06 apiece, they can stay on the shelf.

    Sorry but you are either being short sighted or just stubborn?

    Either ask for DIY/easy maitenance using the current/next standards or you have to pay someone to do it for you.

    Of course we can join the greens and go back to living in caves to save the world (oh but wood fires emit CO2).

    I make my life choices and feel no need to explain them to you

    I'm sure the engines can be built to be field repairable, at a cost.

    Use of brass, more modular components, high grade plastics that are UV and temperature stable.

    All possible.

    But when the architect who drew the design, has to tell the engineers who specified the engine to remove the plastic engine cover in order to meet the pedestrian crash standards, I wonder if they really have the right experience to build an African mechanic proof vehicle.

    ECU's are fine, everywhere has laptops now.

    i haven't got a lap top or a cellular telephone

  4. Given how many other noises there are to listen to in a Defender. I wouldn't bother. I have a radio, cassette and a CD player in mine and I honestly cannot remember the last time any of them were used. Now I think about it, I don't think the CD player has ever been used

  5. It should be possible to adjust them. Failing that they were still available new, for an exorbitant price. It will involve drilling the rivets out of the lock assemble to get inside it and see where the worn components are

  6. Obsolete. It is the tiny self tapping screw which holds the shield for the oil seal on the front of a V8 timing cover.

    Does anybody know the size, please? I removed mine, put them somewhere safe and cannot remember where it was

    Hi 

    Hello I am new to this forum. Apologies if I am duplicating a thread. I did a search but could not find an answer.

    My 2003 defender has all round LED lights. I live in the countryside and it gets very dark because there no street lighting. The standard headlights are like candles and therefore useless. The LED lights are really good you can be seen and you can see things running into the road. Problem is the MOT inspector said he could not pass it unless I put the old ones back in. He did not explain the actual problem it is just the rules! So I am in a ludicrous situation where I need to swap headlights for inferior ones to get it through a test which is apparently there to make sure the car is safe. Problem is until I put the LED ones back in I can’t see where I am going.

    Given the number of after market LED lights available I assume this has been overcome by some.

    Anyone know what is going on and if you can put LED lights in a defender without falling foul of the bureaucracy that seems to be contradicting itself. I have found some that say they are ok for MOT but are not CE - which mine are. 

    Thanks for you help 

     

    If you cannot see where you are going with the standard headlights, it might be worth having your eyes checked for any possible problems which might cause this difficulty.

    Whilst the standard headlights might not be as bright as the latest laser cannons fitted to a lot of modern cars they were/are perfectly acceptable for night time driving along roads which are not streetlit
