I have been struggling for a while now to find the right headlamp units for my defender this is the type I have / want i also would like the numbers for the relevant backing bowls if possible many thanks James

i have the protection and performance truck cab cage on with a single diaganol bar across the rear hoop http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4068/4404196046_6552183e2f_o.jpg crappy picture taken on my phone its awkward to take a picture of the cage in situ on the body at the moment as the body is just waiting for paint i was thinking along the lines of welding a length of bar from the rear supports the the back of the truck cab and making a plate to bolt it to the cab and then the harness to this plate also mostly just looking at ways of doing a neat job on it without dropping the 500 quid that devon 4x4 want thanks for your time James

I am going to be fitting 4 point harnesses in my 90 truck cab and i was wondering if anyone had come up with some neat solution of fixing them to the roll cage preferable one that doesent cost the earth from D44 And also where should i fix the lower points ? I have been told that the mounts must go to the chassis or the cage is this correct ? Thanks James

Really hope this happens and hope I've finished rebuilding my truck in time to partake I initally started my build with winch challenges in mind but then the more I read about the gear needed and the expense to buy most of it along with me not really wanting to get in the way of the " big boys " I went off the idea so this to me as someone totally new to this event sounds fantastic ! James

I'm thinking about fitting some small twin headlights to my truck but don't know if I will run into any legal/mot issues if I do i was looking at this set. http://motorcycleproducts.co.uk/catalogue/dominator-twin-round-headlamp-set-matt-black-p-17142.html Thanks in advance for any advice. James

what made you decided on the nanocom rather than the hawkeye ? if you dont mind me askin Thanks James

yes i saw that but from reading the blurb on the nanocom it only comes with settings for one vehicle too does it not ?

hi A mate of mine asked me to post up and ask which is the better between the hawkeye and the nanocom devices would be for his disco 2 defender and range rover any advice that i could pass along to him would be great many thanks James

I havent even started thinking about the ducting for the heater yet was going to see how dodgy the smell was without one fitted out of interest how did you make your heater fit in I had to cut a bit out of the top of mine and then a few loving strokes with the hammer to be able to squeeze the wing in currently looking at diesel heaters so i can throw the stock one away James

hi thats almost what i need just one that sits a bit higher still have tried ones like yours on and it looks a bit daft having the bumper then a 2 inch gap then the bottom of the wing i would like the bumper to run inline with the wing bottom thanks James

http://www.ppcages.com/gfx/extras/lrwingkit.jpg is the style of wings i have looks like i may just stick a cradle in like you say thanks James

I have fitted protection and performance tubular wings on my 90 but cant for the life of me find a winch bumper tubular preferably that sits in the right place to match the wings it looks like the only way to go is to make a winch basket / bumper in between the front chassis rails? would prefer to have a full length bumper that is the right hight to run inline with the bottom rail of the wings if you have any pics of what you have done or where you have purchased a bumper let me know! Many thanks James

hi sorry for lack of detail ... its a 90 with a 200 tdi disco conversion that im currently rebuiling after a lil falling over incident it will be having a winch on it and a fair amount of lighting once its done. Its a bit of a mare to just measure the old wire beacuse its parked at a workshop about an hour away from where i live i usually only go up at the weekend thanks for your help much appricated James

I'm after moving my battery into the pick up of my 90 but i dont have a clue what rating the new cable should be after copius google searches hopefully one of you helpfull chaps knows Thanks James

Thanks Mate saved me a journey there James

hi wondered if anyone here might know offhand the size of the bolt that holds the front radius arm to the axle ive gone and left the one i had for reference at the workshop Many thanks James
