Not bothered about the hijack mikey
PM PaulMc. He knows every connector known to mankind, and will even help source hard-to-find ones.
For instance before Nige started selling them, Paul helped me find a source for brand new EDIS plug and terminals. No-one in the UK did them. In fact i ended up buying from Paul as he brought a load of terminals into the country..
Havent got all the bits yet mikey. The Sumitomo 090 connectors are the tricky bit. Cant find them for love nor money. Miketomcat is selling me a drivers side td5 wing harness for me to customize. The other side will be coming off the bay. £20 or so for that.
There is an old thread im following that has a shopping list: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=65264&page=1

Completely agree, and i wouldnt do it. BUT. For the guy in the paper to claim it posed a danger to his kid and friends? Hmmmm. They shouldnt be near it anyway.
Maybe the owner had wheels away for refurb or something? Always better up a driveway or garage but maybe the guy didnt have that luxury?
Ah! That explains it. Thanks.
I can do it neater than taping it up as im making some custom harnesses so will just delete those wires from the harness connector
Dont go there.......
Seriously though, all that "stuff" serves a purpose and is needed. Its not even as if you can relocate much into the seatbox as its already pretty busy in there on a td5..
Maybe someone more up to speed on td5's specifically will help. But my question is ......why?
I understand a clean "minimalist" engine bay on a hot rod build, but a defner?
So many times bikers get killed because farmers dont maintain their perimeter fences, but the farmers are never held to account. A friend of mine was killed many years ago when he rounded a corner to find a cow standing in the middle of the road looking at him. Even though it was found the cow escaped through a broken fence, the farmer tried to make out he died because he was speeding (which it was proved he wasnt)
The 1 time someone accidentally leaves a gate open the farmers are all anti-laners.... Double standards springs to mind.

Regarding the above diagram, where is the existing wires for dip beam LH and full beam LH supposed to go? The diagram shows RH wiring but not LH.
In actual fact if the vehicle was insured, taxed and parked legally outside the owners home, wouldnt that make the kids vandals if they were running over it etc?
Not everyone has those kinds of skills.
I know if i attempted to botch that, i wouldnt be able to look at it every day. Especially as panels arent exactly rare or particularly expensive as the link i posted proves.
Horses for courses i guess....
If you want it looking mint again you will need replacement roof and sidepanel.
You probably could get it improved by a bodyshop but will it be cost-worthy?
Id be looking for roof and panel

As above. We really need some pics. Im hazarding a guess that if you've rolled it, the roof will need to come off at a minimum. Its really not hard to do..
