  1. Yes, had looked at that kit and if all else fails and I can’t do what I would like to do then that kit is certainly an option
  2. Perfect, thank you, hopefully I will be able to get an answer from these chaps.
  3. This was what I was hoping would be the case but so far no one seems to be able to confirm it. I have a Landrover dealership not 5 miles away from me, unfortunately with the current situation, I cannot even get to ask the question. They are still working, albeit behind closed doors, However, having tried to speak to them, I am asked if I am an essential worker then they hang up the phone. Only want confirmation either way. In the grand scheme of things I realise that it isn’t that important just now ( and I fully appreciate and understand ) so I shall just have to wait!
  4. Gents I have just purchased a 2014 110 CSW in fairly basic configuration. The vehicle has the winter pack i.e heated windscreen and seats and pretty much nowt else. Now I am aware that there are after market fitments and also Landrovers own option if need be so not the question of can I fit or what kit should I use. I have searched the forum ( I think ) and can’t find the answer I am looking for. I have been told conflicting information from a few sources ( Those who deal in Landrovers etc ) that it is not possible to integrate the central locking into the vehicles own alarm / immobiliser due to,the fact that I have the later type alarm / immobiliser system ( Fords own I am informed not the 10as ) fitted from 2014 to 2016. And there again I have been told by another Landrover Specialist that they will fit the central locking and thereafter take the vehicle to their local Landrover dealership who will flash the ECU - Alarm/ Immobiliser unit with the correct patch with everything thereafter working as it would have been as a factory fitted option. To say that I am now confused is an understatement. Has anyone experienced this issues or could possibly add any advice. I have owned Landrovers for years in different shapes and forms but this is my first foray in Puma / Defender ownership. I am aware that Landrover factory builds were erratic at best and things were added / deleted with abandon, often with parts / wiring options fitted to the vehicle that were not connected and left tucked away. Any advice or assistance would be gratefully appreciated.
  5. I have a 300 tdi station station wagon, unfortunately, I don't have the xs loom, I will have to make up the wiring! Would it be possible to have some photographs to look at, might make it a bit easier for me.
  6. Thanks for the info. I bought the heated seat kit from Exmoor Trim, they supply the Waeco 2 stage heating kit or Landrovers original heated seat kit, I went for Landrovers own kit as I already have the switches to fit in the centre dash! I haven't fitted the matting system yet, well other than put it in and take it back out until I have finished the rebuild. I bought the matting direct from Drew, saved quite a lot of money by going direct and he made it for me as I wanted black as opposed to grey. Very fast supply and delivery and a really nice guy to boot!
  7. when i first purchased my 300 ti Defender, I put in a 1.2 ratio transfer box as I mistakenly thought that it would improve the vehicles cruising ability. I found that to be the case when going down hill, very pleasant! A completely different story when approaching anything larger than a speed bump, it was horrendous, never away from changing down the box, struggling to gain momentum. On the few occasions that I tried towing, 3rd gear was the most I could ever manage! My vehicle has an Allisport larger intercooler, modified pump and a variable vane turbo. I took it out and replaced it with the standard gearing. An overdrive is on the cards when funds allow. I know that it is personal choice but I would recommend steering well clear of this option, especially where hills and towing is involved. This conversion is fine for Td5 engines as they have lots more power available, not to mention tuning suitability. Just my own opinion of course
  8. I am about to fit heated seats to the front of my Defender 110 and would like some advice as to how to route the cabling ( pictures if possible ) from the seats to the point of power. I have Wright Off Road Matting fitted to my vehicle and would prefer not to cut or make holes in it if possible! Any advice would be greatly appreciated
