  1. Thanks for the info; I'm now saving my hard earned pennies for a VDO gauge (with green back-light).
  2. What thread does a standard defender 200tdi housing have?
  3. I'm also interested in an after-market temp gauge as I've a similar issue - can you recommend one? Presumably I'll need some sort of adaptor to fit in the defender 200tdi housing as the threads will be different? Pictures would be good if possible.
  4. Thanks all for the comments. Need to find the four missing legend stickers and sort out the heated seats.
  5. I measured it very carefully before I fitted it. It's an inch shy of the gear stick
  6. The previous full length combination wasn't meeting all my needs. So I removed the rear storage cupboard and pushed the drawer further in. Next steps are to make another shelf in line with the bottom of the window blanks and put some carpeted panels on the sides. Also intend to have a water tank made that will fit between the shelves.
  7. Took a bit of time but really happy with the finish. The TD5 dash console was good but not as good as the raptor one. Need 4 carling legends: 2 x heated seats 1 x heated rear window 1 x radio If anyone has any spares?
  8. I spoke to Phil at Raptor yesterday at Donington 4X4 show. He said that he intends to manufacture the clock housing when he gets some time; he has had a lot of requests for them. I'll be in the queue to get one.
  9. I have a TD5 bulkhead and dash but retained the earlier clocks. And as of today have removed the centre console and fitted a full raptor. Pictures to follow...........
  10. I hope you took a bank loan out to cover the price of the lager!!
  11. Mine are hinged at the bottom and bolted at the top. To line them up I placed an inch thick piece of wood on top of the H/light surround then centralised the guard on the wood. Once happy with the position I drilled all the holes.
  12. Firstly spray wd40 or similar into the bulb holders. Secondly check the earth at the back of the landy - mine fell to bits!
  13. I've been for the last two years - it's a cracking bash and I always bring loads home!
  14. They still owe me a spare wheel cover from when they swapped my chassis. Still waiting..............
  15. Good luck to you and your fellow travellers Jason. I'm already looking forward to the pictures on your return!
  16. Mine are shop soiled seconds from John Craddocks - the extra dents just add to the character!
  17. My 1988 110 CSW has four holes (two on each rail). I had TD5 seats in at first. Is it worth fitting the raisers so that you can move the seats further back?
  18. Build your dream landy and sell everything else as your building.
  19. Whilst I agree with the above comments on using a second alternator don't forget that, as long as you are prepared to get your hands dirty, a heavy duty split charge can be made for around £30. In total, my 80amp set up cost £31, albeit 3 years ago.
  20. Why not grab some cheap ones off fleabay and repair them - that way you'll always have doors fitted and won't have to drive around with constant A/C!!!
  21. I have a TD5 bulkhead and both of those small holes have plastic bungs in them.
