hi guys. i have a defender td5 with the discovery td5 auto box and a range rover classic borg warner box on. does anyone know if the standard prop shafts will fit as normal or are they different? if so does anybody know which i should be using?
many thanks for your help as always .

I think you are confusing the rating of the fusebox with what you will be drawing from it.
The chances are you won't have everything turned on at the same time (what is the output of your alternator, 65A or 100A?) plus you have to consider the standard items (lights, heater etc). In the electrical industry it is called dIscrimination (AKA common sense).
55W spots = 4.6A each.
90W heated seat elements = 7.5A.
CB & handsfree = negligable.
Its a 120amp on a defender td5
Chances are as it has no roof the heated seats will always be on that been the main thing. An the alpine sound system.

Based on the above calculator you need 50mm2 cable for a 2m run @ 170amps what the hell are you planning to run off this fuse box! I know people that run a winch on smaller cable for a longer run (not that I like or agree with there system but you get my point).

i get what your saying. admittedly im only learning the electronics side of things. but im one of those boys that tries to get the best out of what i do . so ideally im looking for my best options. an as youll see i dont go for the easy stuff haha but i do like the idea of what your saying, and i also like the bridging idea from landy andy.

Depends how much current, in total, you'll ever draw through it. Are you likely to draw more than 100A from all your accessories ever?
well the fuse box im fitting will take 100amp per side and theres 2 sides.
ill be running 4 heated seats 4 spot lights 2 fog lamps 3 work lights cb radio , handsfree kit, airlocker kit etc. theres quite a lot going on it.
-
hope this helps. obviously if anyone has any better ideas they'd be much appreciated. im wiring it so it will come on with the ignition hence the relay. my only problem is whether the cable can be split off to the 2 positive clamps on the aux fuse box.

high guys im hoping to wire in my aux fusebox onto my defender this weekend. i have a fuse box which is capable of 100amp per bank. there are 2 banks. my question is if i was to run a 170amp cable from my battery to my relay then to the 170amp mega fuse then from there carry the cable on . then join 2 100amp cables to the 170amp cable (so spliting the 170amp cable off into 2) then joining the lower amp cables to the 2 clamps on the fuse box. would this work ok?
im trying to save having to buy 2 relays and extra fuses and have them run through 1 . also saving space.
many thanks for your time guys
