That's the left and right side light circuits.

I've just ordered some 1 amp and 2 amp blade fuses from ebay so I can cover the 2.5 glass, so I'm going to start by halving the blade fuse rate and see how it goes, the 12 amp is still the problem so I'll just try a 7.5 blade in that circuit I think the 5 amp may be too low. Alan.

I was hoping to hear that someone used the same rating and everythings OK, though it seems the lowest rating I can find is 3 amp to replace the 2.5 glass and I was going to use 7.5 to replace the 8 amp glass, the problem one seems to be what to use for the 12 amp glass, I was just going to use...

I'm in the process of upgrading the fuse box on my 25 year old 90 getting fed up with bad connections, the brake light and flasher circuit I changed to a blade earlier this year. I've got all the bits from Vehicle Wiring Products but when ordering from them on their website the blade fuse...

It's bold cause being an old gimmer myself I can see what I'm typing and I'd just discovered that I could change it, amazing, the things they have these days.

Just saved myself a load of money, the catch spring broke on the rear door lock of Defender didn't want to pay out for new mechanism and was looking on ebay and found someone sells spring kit for the the mechanism for £5, so I got one. Half hour job and it works perfectly, highly recommended...

Are these for handed rear doors or side doors on some model of 110. Or is this the left hand door of a series Landy.

The label on the box reads STC2872.

I've been having problems with rear door handle recently and the other day a genuine brand new in box one came up on ebay, I bid and won it. It turned up a couple of hours ago and went out to fit it. I opened the box and held it up against the existing one and couldn't believe my eyes it's the...

Thanks for the info, I will contact HMRC I want to know the facts and go back to that dealer if he's wrong to put him right. I'm no longer interested in the Disco3 now, I thought about it and can't bring myself to part with my Defender, I don't know what possesed me to even think about it, what...

So I bought it privately and no vat was paid, and I believe that was the case with the previous owner, so on that alone that dealer does not sell it with VAT even though it shows light utility on the registration papers. Is that correct.

I thought it was not so clear cut, I think it's the usual salesman knock the price down technique. Fact is I've got people wanting to buy this Landie anyway I just don't like being on the end of bull**** and want to know the facts.

I was talking to a local used Landie dealer today thinking of trading my defender for a Disco 3, he says because it's a side window conversion and not an original station wagon he would have to put VAT on it to re-sell, so reducing the trade value. Is this correct, I assumed once converted it...

I'm gradually going over everything on my latest landie, yesterday I checked the valve clearances and was expecting to have to take up slack on the adjsters and was amazed to find 4 of the valves too tight. I've no idea when they were last done or by who, my son reckons someone set the gap and...

The paint is for sale, definitely not the Landy. Alan.
