  1. I seem to recall buying mine through Rimmer Brothers but have been unable to find them.

    The only one I could find now is

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LAND-ROVER-DEFENDER-HEATED-CONVEX-WING-MIRROR-GLASS-NEW_W0QQitemZ330362074054QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090923?IMSfp=TL090923148004r3623

    I might try it as I need one for the drivers side I have smash the mirror a few time and element no longer sticks to the mirror and there are issues with the connection to the element.

    I recently purchased a convex heated mirror from this very same ebay outfit. I will say the mirror itself is the WORST I have ever seen. my previous convex mirror (which broke) was very clear without blurring on the outside edges. For whatever reason, the convex mirror from these guys is not clear (can't think of any other way to explain) and anything viewed is definitely not uniform (when you take the "convex" effect out of this.

    Anyway, I recommend finding someone else. I'm attempting to find another one as well.

  2. Does anyone have experience running one of these on biodiesel? Specifically a B20 mixture? I wanted to put a D2 hyrdronic air heater in, but read in the manual that they don't cover bio above a 5% mixture. Which has me wondering if that is just covering their butt or is it really a problem. I have to think the truckers and such that use these are running bio with them...

  3. "I am Wolfgang turns and you am well served."

    LOL :D

    NASDiesel - nice pic, where was that taken?

    Thanks. Maine, here in the U.S. a few years ago. We have an annual event up there in Feb. with nightly temps at -20 F. Makes life interesting... :wacko:

  4. OK, dragging this back to the top but I now have a nice new TD5 bulkhead to play with :D

    Chadler did you get yours?

    This one will need things like wiper mount cutting off but it is a wide saddle type and looks like my lt77 panels will bolt right up to it. Maybe there is more than one type of TD5 bulkhead?

    Don't want the 90 off the road but will start stripping any unnecessary bits of so I can do my best to compare them. Anyone near Pompey got an old gash early 90 bulkhead they want rid of that I could use to aid this fettling before galv?

    And has anyone successfuly (or not) galved a bulkhead?

    You can galvy a 90 bulkhead, seen it here many times and plan to do the same myself in the next year. The important thing is not to let the shop quench the metal in a bath after being in the galvy dunk tank. It has to air dry. Otherwise, the thin metal of the bulkhead will warp from the rapid change in temps.

    So does a td5 bulkhead match up to a v8 bulkhead with auto? :huh: That's my big question...
