It looks to have two connections one in each corner. Although the metallic strip that runs along the bottom of the screen is broken in the middled, but it’s meant to be this way. I‘ve checked the continuity of the screen and it is good.

I have a 2013 Defender XS with a factory fitted heated windscreen which doesn’t work properly. When l put it on, it only partially de-mists the screen, l get uneven vertical lines across the screen and on the passenger site there is a 300mm area that doesn’t de-mist. The screen looks ok and...

Should the numbers on the headlight adjustment switch, illuminate when you put the dash lights on?

I have a bracket on the back of my tow bar. Has anyone got any idea in what it’s for?

I have a 2.2 Defender and when l pull away in first gear l get clunking slightly juddering. It doesn’t help that my main car is an automatic and lm forgetting how to drive a manual. However, l can easily and smoothly pull away in second gear with no juddering etc. Will this cause damage to the...

I had the same issue with a Td5 10p, it had been remapped with a 15p file. Had it remapped with the correct file, which fixed it.

Hi an update, after taking it to an air-con specialist and searching for two hours we finally found a leak on the low pressure filling port, (sorry l don’t know the correct word for this). The systems has good pressure and doesn’t look to be leaking, but l have to monitor it. After driving home...

Wimblowdrive, that’s really helpful, thank you.

l was thinking that, but where is the evaporator ?

No, it doesn’t hold any gas, there is definitely a leak on it but it’s not obvious, Halfords recon it’s leaking internally but they cannot find it.

Hi, l’ve just bought a 2013 2.2 Puma with aircon which doesn’t work. I’ve taken it to Halfords as they offer a diagnostic service that checks for leaks. Basically they pressurise the system with nitrogen and check for leaks using soapy water. They’ve done this and checked all the external items...

Hi, stripped it down and l look to have the bearing type swivel housing with a Raiko top pin bush, the drive shaft looks to have 24 splines. My question is, l’ve bought a DA3178 swivel kit, the top bearing type, will it fit the swivel housing?

I emailed the previous owner and he tells me that the axle is off an 04 110. But if this is the case, would the swivels be Teflon coated and there wouldn’t be a drain plug and level plug in the housing?

And the swivel seal retaining ring is held on with 6 bolts.

I’ve taken some photos, l apologies for the quantity. I think the axle number is 7CLA96S?A although it’s hard to read.
