It's worth carrying a foot long (or so) jump lead so you can manually connect the positive terminals on the battery together to jump the starter battery from the second battery if needed.

Yeah relay on the earth side of the vsr should work. With the relay active both batteries can be classed as one battery and any accessory would just run off both until the voltage drop across the batteries goes below the 12.6v and then the starter battery would isolated.

That's one of the problems with the split charge relays over a proper duel battery management system. I've seen people wire in an extra solenoid triggered from a switch ignition live, so to trigger the voltage sensing relay the ignition has to be on and voltage over 13.3v.

I can only see the hand book for the petrol engine ones here http://www.mbusa.com/vcm/MB/DigitalAssets/pdfmb/ownersmanual/2001_ml320_ml430_ml55.pdf page 293 has the roof weight limit listed for the ml320 ml430 and the big Amg one.

Last time I camped at Loch Lomond (few years ago now) we stayed at some caravan club camp site right on the lake side I think is was luss because we weren't members there was a minimum say of 2 nights and it was over £20 a night per person to stay in a tent and had we needed to rent a pitch per...

I've seen an old advert I think it was a series 3 with a powered trailer running off the pto. Edit 8 mins 4 seconds in

Mmmmmmm King billies.

little more info than "." Required. Are you planning to go on a driving holiday, Leave at airport/port At home on the drive???

Yep, mine doesn't have those holes either.

Headphones. Storage space in a defender is at a premium, half a cubic foot is a lot to loose.

Every diff guard I've seen for the puma has those holes in. Has your diff been changed is it the original one. I'll check mine to see if there are holes in it when it's light. I would do it now but it's dark and nearly 5 to 3.

I'm sure the coopers is what the rugged guide fit on there defenders. They seem to be big in Australia.

Have you not got a power flow near you, they would just make one up for you.

The guy that play's checkov in the new Star Trek films has died, he got crushed between his drive gates when is jeep rolled back on to him. Poor fella.

This stuff is supposed to be really got, I know a few people that add it to old lister stationery engines they feel it makes the engine run quieter at shows and just keeps the engine internals cleaner. I've not used it so I don't know, I've got the 2.4 tdci with all the engine management stuff...

Last time I was at the garage there was a written off 90 in there, a farm yakker had been tending his sheep stopped on a hill rover still running got out, opened the iforwilliams back and took three hay bails out filled the feeder ring with them, when back to the rover dropped the canopy grill...

Radios that tent to do fancy things like work for an hour after and turn on when the ignition is off and auto off are usually linked into some form of cambus. In a defender with out going that fancy stuff stuff the only way I can think of doing it is a 5 pin relay and a manual power switch for...

10 x 21w bulbs is 17.5 amps. Even if your indicating and braking so 7 x 21w bulbs is on is still over 12 amps.

Agreed. slept in a 109 and had to lower the tail gate and have my legs and bottom of the sleeping bag out the back, next night slept in a duke of edinbrough survival bag one of those big orange plastic bags with my sleeping bag in that on the ground out side, it was more comfortable, roomy and...
