fitted a HD bar set cause my balls were giving up, kept wheels on floor so I didn't have to adjust any tracking. gonna check it all the same, small question-does the steering relay point straight forward when in the neutral straight ahead position?

have you tried grounding the case of the relay (through the tab at the top) The above wiring diagram is for a series2 lightweight by the way.

hmm, I think it might be item 47, flasher unit, can you get a pic of writing as it looks more like a relay than a capacitor chief http://www.land-rover-lightweight.co.uk/Images/Wiring%20Diagram%20New.jpg

have you got a hazards switch?

thanks chaps, I cut the standard bumper and mounted them in as fogs :)

I have a 12tonne press but tyres to wide to fit in.. I'm intrigued how I would use my farm jack to break bead though? :)

how do I get the tyre off of a defender rim at home? I've chopped through it but can't get the inner bead to release.. any tips?

got one :)

cheers chaps, I'm not sure who would be open on Good Friday hence my request to fellow forum members to raid their stash :) I'll call said companies in morning and try thanks
