if you're talking about a dixon bate affair, the 4 holes on the slider want to be closest to the ground. As in these pics http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LAND-ROVER-DEFENDER-90-110-ADJUSTABLE-TOW-KIT-1984-98-/280503534402?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item414f504342
Tachographs are required for any vehicle over 3.5T that are being used commercially. Eg a 3.5T transit towing a trailer needs to have a tacho fitted.
There are a few exemptions such as emergency services.
Another reason why I can't understand why landrover do not offer Tachographs as a factory fitted option.
Woken up this morning and I've lost one mudflap and the others about to follow! Seems to have broken off the rear tub
Can I have part numbers for both rear mudflaps and mounting brackets please!

I saw a traffic cops program where a woman got booked for it, Driving with incorect license and obviously no insurance as she didnt have a proper license to tow...
I stuck my head out of the window on my test, examiner had no dramas with it
Other thing you could consider is doing D1 and then D1+E which will upgrade you to B+E too? Depends if you ever have to drive minibuses.
Chris
I did my B+E two years ago using a family run business in Portsmouth. Its well worth doing, but be aware they expect a high standard of driving.
Managed to pass with only two minors first time though.....
I've heard of issues with changing gear ratios and the cruise control, does it work with the standard speed sensor?
The CC does use speed to some extent, as it wont engage below a certain speed
The incomming line looks ok, its called MICC cable and lasts forever if installed properly.
Hopefully you should be able to have a consumer unit installed on the end of the micc cable, but all depends on how its fed. You might have difficulty finding a spark whos good enough/old enough to deal with MICC.

Just trying to make sure my defender is prepped for driving to Spain with trailer, getting stuck with the headlamps.
What do people recomend for adjusting the headlamp beam on my defender? Do those stickers work / can they be fitted to defenders?
Chris
My defender is still shiney... hasn't stopped me walking on the roof, seems to take it ok.
although i use the spare wheel to get on, rather than dent the bonnet!
Evening all, just in the process of installing a webasto fuel burning heater (thermo top C) into my defender, and trying to gather the bits I need!
Anyone know the landrover part number for the two heater hoses, one from the engine to the heater, the other from the heater to the heater matrix?
I'd rather use the genuine parts rather than join lengths of hoses....(but only if the price is right!)
