Hi, did you manage to connect up the Britpart motor to your wiring and get it working? I have just bought the same motor to fit to my defender which has a replacement rear door. I have the wiring already in place to the door hinge corner but they have been cut. Did you manage to source the correct connectors for the 2 pin and the 3 pin sockets on the wiper motor? Any help with which colour wires go to which connectors would be great. Thanks.

My March '95 300tdi 90 had EP90 in the swivels when I got it from a LR dealer in Sept '96. And the Dec '96 300tdi that I have just bought has grease in, but still has the level plugs and drain plugs. Of course the grease could have been put in since.

I had a Mantec snorkel and wading kit on my 300tdi 90 when I had it. I got it direct from Mantec, and it came with a sheet of LR fitting instructions. I was under the impression that Mantec made them for LR, but that was around back in 1999. Out of interest that cost £200.93 then. If I remember the Mantec fitted with the metal elbow around the air intake using the 5 or 6 screws already there, and two brackets onto the windscreen frame. The quality was very good.

Luckily I have had a Defender before, and a 1990 RR, and several disco's so I am not blind to certain things. Another he has advertised is missing the heater box and pipework. Fairly major thing not to mention. Item number 230573952480.

Yes, I have noticed that too. And that tends to make me think it might be a tax thing?

As the title, does anyone know why Land Rover stopped fitting the small side windows in the rear of hard tops? Is it a security thing, a tax thing, or cheaper manufacture? Or something else?

I too have been insured with the NFU, for more than 10 years now (Several discos and a defender over that period). I have stayed with them because of their excellent policy and the great service from the broker. My renewal came yesterday for my Disco 3. Last year, £789.71 - this year £1115.14 odd ! Thats a 41% increase. The policy has three named drivers plus lots of bells and whistles that such as only £100 xs and full breakdown cover etc. I have started to shop around also and have got down to as low as £630.00 but for a poor spec policy with an excess of £600. Add the extras in and up it goes. I spoke to my NFU broker and by increasing my excess to £500.00 like most other policies and removing the business cover that I do not use, it came down to £910.00. Still a £140.00 increase over last year! More checking needed of other policies small print needed before a decision is made.
