Resistor was already buggered and was stopping the lights working. Took it off and lights now work fine.

Thanks for advice all. It's a dead resistor now. Bloody hot here to-day, so here's a photo of my back garden for you poor sods in the cold... :D

well, not much to see. Drilled the end caps off. and there you go. A welded bit going into a sealed plastic/resin looking unit.

Re lights, nothing special by the time I came to buy it from Land Rover Centre in Huddersfield anyway. Will go down to garage and have a play with it. Photo to follow...

hmm, you reckon I could get a Yank to buy it an authentic British Land Rover Special Edition part?

Found this hiding under the bonnet of my 110 as part of the head light circuit. Guess it's an add-on. Landy is ex-JCB which might explain the nice backing plate. Anyway, doesn't bloody work any more. A voltage transformer?

Thanks for that too. I've switched them over, but think have buggered the motor by playing with it too much. Tough love maybe? Anyway, will have a go at changing over the gear switches (presume there are 2, just below the washer themselves) at some stage. Luckily, it won't rain here until the...

sorry Julian. Just noticed the other 2 pages to this thread and see you've fixed it. d'uh

The 3.5" lift might have som'it to do with the swaying. Try giving a lift to a bowling team and their balls - might stop the rolling.

PS. Way better than the Brownchurch one!! Sorry ChrisV8

I got a full length Survivor one from Trekoverland (Tim and Claire) which I've had one for a year now and taken on expedition into Africa and generally abused pretty good. Cracking roof rack. Being in the Tropics, everything rusts here - poor Landy - but not the rack. Highly recommend. Survivor...

Thanks very much for this. Will give it a go. Cheers mate.

if you can manage French, have a look at Tourduglobe.org - Bienvenue. Basically, buy a 110, pack some bags and off you go. Nice couple as well. Also, check out The Africa Overland Network if you haven't already found.

Hi Guilio, I agree with Paul. We drove down from UK to Ghana last year (and stopped) in a 300 Tdi 110 and saw plenty of other 300Tdis on the way (certainly the most popular LR model we saw). But also a number of series 3s do the run. There are probably more parts available for 300Tdi though...

Hi Popotla, Re extra fuel tanks, we had a 46 ltr alu additional fuel tank added to our 95 110 by Allisport, which goes between the filler and the fuel tank itself and basically just makes your original tank bigger. Nice and simple, but I did have to replace the fuel hose they added between...

Hi, I have a 300tdi '95 Def. Recently converted to LHD as I now live in Ghana. It's pretty tough to get parts here... most "new" Landy parts are poor quality rip offs from Nigeria and there isn't too big a pile of old Landies to get decent second hand parts from. Anyway, trying to see if I...

Hi, My name is Mark. I have lived in Takoradi in Ghana for coming on a year now, having overlanded down here from the UK with my wife in a '95 300 tdi Defender. Deciding we liked it here, we stopped our trip to set up home. Meant I had to convert the Landy to left hand drive to get it...
