    L E D Light bulbs

    If it's like my 110 you have a single Bulb in the dash board that flashes with the indicators, this effectively shorts out the LEd indicators. You need a couple of diodes added in the circuit to stop it. The circuit is on LZ somewhere. I have boltonbits NAS stop tails they worked perfectly. ..

    Defender Gearing

    Assuming you have 285r16s as 285r26 seems a bit extreme... I have 285R16 ATs fitted ( did have 750R16s. ) and a disco box, on a 200TDI 110, I've also towed a boat with all up weight including trailer of 1 ton. I've not had a problem. It is vastly better on motorways /dual carriageways ...

    Steering Locks - do you use them?

    For parking in the supermarket the discloc will stop most ****s even trying to get in . It's obvious and takes time to defeat. Ignition cut offs mean they need to tow it away. If you leave it for longer periods then you need to prevent them spending time defeating your security. In my case...

    Weller wheels or similar.

    Scotland / wild camp / camping sites?

    Your route looks fine, but almost all you seem To be doing is driving. Many roads are narrow or twisty, and slow. You'll be concentrating on not finding the ditch or sheep in the road. You won't see the country, personally I'd reduce the objectives by a third.. .

    detroit locker or air locker in 90 defender?

    I fitted a rear lsd from Ashcroft a couple of years back, it really paid off in the snow this year. A great improvement in grip in previous snow . I actually fitted it to help pull boats up slippery slipways .

    Rear led lights.

    Most LEds them selves will come out of the same factory whatever the unit you buy. The difference will be in the assembly into a unit. Wipac are likely to have set a specification that is good. They are a well known brand over many years. If you were to buy something similar from China it...

    Rear led lights.

    I've got wipac LEDs except for Bolt-on NAS stop/ tail, fitted easily, and have been perfectly reliable for some years.. Good LEDs cost, no way round that.

    Previous owners bodges

    I had a triumph 2000, that had vast amounts of black wiring all over the place for a home built by previous owners security system that didn't work. It took some time to remove and find where it intercepted the ignition system. I have of course done the coke can on the exhaust. The important...
