  1. I got me an extra tank for my 90 made up by Safari-Equip out of Aluminum http://safari-equip.co.uk/index.php?page=4 Had it double skinner so I don't have to add a guard (in theory), I guess this will not rust and 'should' last for a long time... I am sure you could get one for the 110, I bet you could even get one made bespoke to give you more fuel storage if you wanted, might cost a bit more than a plastic tank though?
  2. yeah a roof tent is on the list, (I have a tent though) I think this summer im gonna head out that way, there are a load of organised ones that frogisland do but they seem so expensive... gonna do a few weekends in wales to iron out all the bit's that need looking at. Just been here (see image)
  3. hey it's like the apple panther / tiger / leopard A badger riding a Puma is a bit weird...
  4. • Bolted on an ARB winch bumper, this has additional indicators built into the bumpers bit, now can I wire these directly to the existing indicators? I would connect to the existing front indicators via a relay for each side, otherwise the existing indicator unit might decide it has a trailer fitted & show the indicator light on the dash when you use the indicators. try it & see what happens, if the trailer light shows use relays. thanks western, just thought I would run this by, a friend of mine said that I could go directly to the existing indicator line, and then up the indicator fuse to 7.5 amps, and the hazards to 15amps? what you think?
  5. yeah it has cost a bit, year's ago (like 12) I had a series, it was a load of fun but I was too young / spent all my money on girls / booze etc no time to keep it going so I gave it to a friend of mine. He sold it, it has gone Anyhow, now I have time (and some cash) to fully go for it and have some fun, with emmissions laws it kinda made sense to get a new one as it will last longer (I hope) and has better emmissions (no im not a vegan), and my thinking was I getting something to last for long time. When I have more space im going for a re-build of an older one... anyhow, thanks for the info
  6. Best place for nut's and bolts is Clearkenwell Screws, it's a family run business in the middle of London town and they have everything. I know this because in have replaced every external facing bolt into a stainless steel one? Call me a bit of a geek but I thought in years time some archeologist will find a collection of shinny bolts and workout it was a landrover, this will be put along with the rest of the dinosaurs... here is the link - http://www.allinlondon.co.uk/directory/1100/15422.php
  7. Hey Tris, thanks for the info, will have a look later on this week. Got me a 90 CSW, attached is a picture or two. (it's in the next reply) As instead I uploaded the twin battery tray and weird battery connector that comes attached to the standard battery, doese anyone know if I put the isolator in-between the main power line or between the battery and the weird black box? As you can see I have the solonoid / isolator in place just making up the cable and connectors.
  8. Hello forum land I am new to this land so hello to all, this forum has been a great help as i have recently became addicted to landrover (my girlfriend is having issues, well more than usual) and have been sneeking in on all your advive posted. So, recently brought a Puma and since then been bolting on. Im fine with bolts, but electrics are a bit of a mystery to me so here comes some questions: • Bolted on an ARB winch bumper, this has additional indicators built into the bumpers bit, now can I wire these directly to the existing indicators? • lightforce lights bolted on too, got the loom off devon 4x4, would it be best to run this additional cable along the chassy to the battery box, and wire up directly? (just a general question as it sounds logical, right?) • warn 9.5xpi / dual battery system, got my head arround the duel battery system (ish), adding the winch in, question is do I place the winch positive directly to the battery or the other side of the battery isolator? My understanding is that the battery isolotor goes inbetween the battery and the main engine feed, right? so you isolate it when using the winch, right? Or am I stupid (this is proberally true, but at least you can't see the look on my face when breaks) On a more, what has been bolted on: Body Sliders, Tree / rock sliders, rear tanks guard, stearing guard, lights guards front and back, spare wheel carrier, rear step bumper (the mantec one fits real nice with the rear step), chequer plate bonnet, rear chassy cross member, lockable cubby, full size patriot roof rack. i have more bits to add, CB, mantec snorkle (seen the post on that one, next weekend it is), 4 spots on the roof + more stuff (as i said, gone a bit crazy) Anyhow, if anyone has so advice it would help, and I can let you know about the puma (only one thing has broke so far the bonnet pull which was swiftly fixed by Araldite) Right fo now that's it. Any takers on the above?
