    Defender wind deflectors

    Hi all, I have wanted some wind deflectors for some time, and picked up some Terrafirma ones for the defender. I am somewhat disappointed to see that they... stick on the outside of the door panel!? I was hoping for some that fitted into the window and were seamless. Save me wasting any more...

    Range Rover Classic - Is it worth it?

    Range Rover Classic - Is it worth it?

    Hi all, I have a defender TDCi which is awesome, but I kinda have the bug now. With interest rates at rock bottom, I thought it might be worth 'investing' (LoL) in RRC - at least I can enjoy it! Anyway, that aside, my research seems to indicate that they are even bigger rot boxes than...

    Help with Split charge - been let down right before trip!

    Thank you all - It might have taken me 5 hours, but it is connected and works (and the car has not caught fire!) The only thing I have not done is put the 100 amp fuses I have in place as per the first picture. The Tmaxx one doesn't show any ... so I think I should be ok (unless you tell me...

    Thank you so much - that looks really helpful! I saw one that recommended 100A fuses which I have got - will they be too weak and blow?

    Help with Split charge - been let down right before trip!

    Hi there, I had my defender booked in to have a leisure battery installed with a split charge set up. I have purchased most of the bits, battery, T-maxx controller, but have been MASSIVELY let down by someone who was supposed to make the battery tray, and this has meant that the electrics guy...

    Dead Puma

    Have you checked the basics? Fuses & relays? I would also want to check all key connectors and that they have not come loose. I had one that just worked its way loose over time. Blew the dust out and connected it - all fine :) I am no expert but that would be a good starting point. Also this...
