easy enough to use? how was reliability overall. i see lavor units but easily 1000 quid below other new units so wary.

So on the edge of landrover related here but used on them so hope ok thinking of buying a electric powered with diesel burner heated pressure washer for use between landy, log splitter, tractor see karcher - mac international - lavor often on sites like evil bay new only for warranty. what have folks used/recommend?

tiger seal for sure - got some on 90 bodywork around 9 yrs ago and its still there so safe to say sticks well.

try calling local nfu office. usually very helpful folks

about 360 with nfu for a lot of stuff business cover voluntary use for red cross voluntary use for ambulance service first responder had 5 points for careless driving - conviction expires in aug fully comp for me and partner on a 2003 td5 defender with modifications declared inc chipped, suspension work, roof lights, rear work lights, heated screen, heated seats etc theft cover for trailer recovery added having made a claim i can honestly say nfu are great to deal with and wont be shifting unless they go mad on renewal.

cheers folks - didnt end up buying but did do some looking around for led bar - not sure whether to stick with Cree or go other makes?

Hi so maybe a well asked and discussed topic but just heading to bed after 12 hr night shift so search option isnt something my brain can do sorry! for a light bar to fit 2003 td5 defender can anyone tell me which bar would fit - 50, 48 or other inch option. gutter mount option. local guy has an offer on and i fancy a cree one thanks folks davie

second that, i have the boomslang one for about a year now and its spot on. Plug and play so no point in making own up.

this is set i have and they are amazing, just need a box. although mine came in a t stak so may be found available. http://www.bigredtoolbox.co.uk/dewalt-brushless-drill-driver-twin-pack-18-volt-2-x-5-0ah-liion-dewdck276p2

i did this to my defender years ago, declared with nfu and cost me very little. year or so later i chipped it and again very little. They do seem like a good company and certainly i wont be moving in next years renewal.

from what i know 300's just wont tolerate boiling so doing a gasket is wasted time. Turners seem to be popular place for a new head. or find a known good 2nd hand engine for sale

i know of a virtually perfect disco chassis for sale, right now its got 300tdi engine, gear box and axles on. Was in storage dry for years. been painted. just outside aberdeenshire scotland.

x lites the e x eng ones are well enough done on a defender no bonnet issues, and combined with some bumper mounted spots give amazing light all areas.

As somebody much wiser on wiring than me always reminds me, never good practice to see bare copper wire like that, trim end to fit connector and perhaps heat shrink to make tidy.

i hate to say anything good about britpart, it hurts! however i am a lazy guy and never bother to take boilersuit off at work when getting into 90 unless really really bad so i go through waterproof seat covers at a set a year or so, and thats with washing them. for fit, washing ok and being functional the britpart ones work fine

that work ok on td5? know westerns one is older but not sure what you have mo?

so kit has arrived, looks nicely made. another question before i get into fitting tommorow if weather is nice, did you find a live feed under bonnet or run live all way back to battery?

just ordered the boomslang kit to resolve this, will pop up thoughts on kit when it comes

cheers folks yeah saw they came with instructions, know what like always nice to see if somebody else has used first. Aware the bulb wattage is issue so figured see if can protect switch a bit better. do you think the loom will be fine with the 90/130 bulbs, i have no idea how to work it out on current draw etc?

Hi, Hoping for some advice here from wiring knowledgeable folks. 2003 td5 defender issue. Keep melting headlight switches, i know this is a known issue as such and its not helped by the bigger headlight bulbs i have in, 90/130 Have heard of folks putting in relays etc but i suck at electrics so need a pre made kit to lessen the chance of burning car down! did a little searching via google and found some hits related to here using the boomslang kit http://www.paddockspares.com/boomslang-performance-headlight-loom.html has anyone used one of these that can comment, how easy to fit etc would be good. Do have spots etc but they are all wired via relays so shouldnt be adding to switch woes? many thanks davie

set of bfg muds ordered today, piggy bank well ruined.. get fitted pre xmas hols i reckon that be mine well worn out

big hammer and the tightest fitting irwin you can beat on there, should work perfectly

interior light was issue on mine, its linked to alarm system. typical defender water leak into it and corrosion

having bought a new winch bumper at peterborough many years ago off an seller i wont name, i can honestly say some folks dont test bumpers at all before selling. the tray for winch was off square - a fair bit! had to have it cut and welded once home wasnt seam welded all over, and no re enforcement so when i had a tiny bump with a car last year the bumper twisted upwards and inwards and did a ton of damage to 90 so i would say if you can get square, make it solid and not insane heavy then theres a good market for them.

Way better than the milwaukee i had
