I think I remember someone on Aulro getting one to test in Aus years ago. They seemed to get a lot of short nose failures
Defender2.net usually has a group buy going on with a 20% discount. Unfortunately, the import duties now cos of Brexit run to about £80 on top because they are shipped from Cyprus. Might be cheaper to get an easyJet flight and pick up in-country 😁
Shielder supply terrain tech so it's basically the same thing
There's a new outfit called Ultra Bulkheads that are creating factory original bulkheads. May not be able to order one yet though https://m.facebook.com/Ultrabulkheads/
Just to confirm, the head seal is the large O ring; as Snagger explained it "the seal between the main case and the square block on the back". I realise the video thumbnail shows the top cover seal, but if you watch the video you'll see where the head (square block on the back) is removed (@ 7:09 timestamp), and it has to be done with the pump pointing down as the springs are likely to fall out
Mines apart at the moment. I measured from the bulkhead face below the fuse box to the front face of the square ridge in front of the cubby box = 427mm

Thanks all. 5 years old so out of warranty. Tried to fix myself by replacing the thermal fuse for £2, but still doesn't work after that.
So I bought a draper one. The lock nut is a loose fit so doesn't clamp the bits, but the one from the end of the Flexi adapter is better so I use that. Thought I'd have to return it but it's working out okay so far
I have a Dremel 4000 that decided to just stop - apparently quite common and unrepairable 🤔
Any recommendations for a better quality equivalent, ideally that's compatible with Dremel attachments?
I would just check out the number of teeth on the GKN gear matches what is on the original input gear

The wing loom will unplug from the bulkhead loom. It's the fat grey connector by the heater box. The wing loom is also normally clipped to the vertical bracket of the inner wing.
