DVLA have issued me with a new chassis number, current chassis had no visible number, this has to be applied to the chassis and confirmed in writing by a dealer .

I've learned today that the DVSA site that offers up suggestions as to where you can get IVA tested is misleading as most of the test centres are either closed permanently or private and do not do vehicles other than their own. However my chassis stamp has been signed off by my local garage...

No, until it gets tested.. then my guess is yes lots. Will be ringing Monday for a pre test chat then probably booking it mid week. my stomach turn when i think about it, I have totally fallen head over heals for this vehicle......

Today I learned that completely rewiring the headlights and tail lights makes the headlights bright as a button.

changed the thermostat and stil 110c ,thinking it's the gauge as the coolant doesn't feel hot to touch I learned today that thermostat change wasn't the answer but had ot be worth a go at 3 quid, at least i've got a good un i hope now, ran it up to 100 plus degrees and turned it off, waited a...

thanks for that, the engine might but the heater doesnt get too hot even when running high temp, new matrix and full of coolant, i'll change the thermostat

Took the thermostat out and tested it,on the stove with a jam making thermometer, :-0 it opens at approx 96 degrees. I have issues with the fan not kicking in to sort but there is a manual over ride for that for now, it is operating in the right direction . There appeared to be no air in...

today i've learned that the gauge reads over 100 after 3 miles but it's going to have to wait until another day to be sorted as its pi$$ing down (cab hardly leaked) btw 200 tdi any starting points for sorting the temp out useful after checking the gauge and sender

first day driving it back from the seller i was pulled by a cop who checked it over as he was 'keen' on defenders, told me it was illegal due to the tyres but let me off due to circumstances, they were about an inch over from the top down,from the middle it was much more.. think its the middle...

not brilliant but no choice , it has to be legal for the test, still got the others. I'm less bothered about its' new look than the wife.

Came as a bit of a shock how close run it was. new wheels were pretty standard the old ones were as offset as i could imagine with huge hankooks on them.. it already seems to handle way better just driving it on the farm.

bloody annoying as it was fine until I put the new indicators in so I had wrapped everything, squeezing the fuse box back into place yesterday could have been the cause but where to start is the thing.. one minute everything fie next some annoying little issue.. happy days, ANYWAY BACK ON TRACK...

fitted the front new ones and hey presto still not working and now my indicator dash light comes on with my main beam dash light.. never a dull moment

ditched.. at the front anyway.. dare say the rears will get done too soon enough

i never mentioned 25w, they are 2.1 amp .... totally loses me all this amps watts volts malarky

this is where im at, the landy had/has leds fitted 2.1 amp, they are in a bad state the indicator covers cracked and screw fittings damaged, they had resistors which had been fitted poorly and didn't work, high speed flashing and regular flashing on hazards, I tried fixing this with a bolt on...

I haven't put anything in my indicators...... i'm peicing together someone elses ideas.. however.. i can still see why people would go LED instead of regular bulb as they last longer?????

what ever it is.. it worked...! :-)

I've learned today that a solenoid and relay are pretty much the same thing. I've learned today that it's a real comfort being able to turn the aux battery on and off from the cab.
