    Where to find parts (pickup tailgate in particular)

    Hi everyone, I have a TDI Hi-cap pickup that I need a tailgate for. I've tried gumtree, ebay, landyzone, online breaker searchers but nothings come up. Any suggestions on where to search? I'm on the south coast so ideally something I can pick up relatively locally.

    £2K quote for repairs after first MOT/Service - is this reasonable!?

    I read that same article about average labour costs! :) Called up the next nearest Landy specialist and they were ten quid more so reckon I'm going to bite the bullet and go for it. I've got a camper on the back so in the current climate reckon I can sell at a profit if I decide that this is all...

    £2K quote for repairs after first MOT/Service - is this reasonable!?

    Just chatted to the guys at Nene Overland about this. Sounds like their parts prices are identical and based on how similar they are it sounds like they're the same quality parts. They also charge £75 an hour which apparently is pretty bang on average when I look around....

    Defender 90 DRL wiring battery feed pickup

    Ive just bought these: https://www.sp-4x4.com/7_LED_HEADLGIHTS_FOR_DEFENDER_BLACK_p/md-j002.htm and am having the same problem with finding a 12v source. How did it go? I've seen it recomended that you attach them to the sidelight with a SPDT relay so that the DRL switches off at night...

    Where do you connect DRL headlights?

    Hey all I've just bought an '06 110 & am installing new headlights with halo ring DRLs. There is the main plug for the headlight, a wire that I've connected to the indicator positive wire and a wire to connect to a 12v wire that is live when the engine is running i guess - they recommend at the...

    Hi timmy, I've just bought a pair of angel light led headlights like I think you have. They connect to the existing pin with a wire for the drl and indicator. Just wondering how you hooked these up?

    Hi Gazman, I've just bought the same headlights as you from so 4x4. Any tips for fitting them...

    Hi Gazman, I've just bought the same headlights as you from so 4x4. Any tips for fitting them? Where did you run the lead for the DRL and side light & how did you connect them? I've got limited experience with electrics but have never spliced on to existing lines as they mention on their website..
