That Web page was written in 2016 so "new" at that time was 16 plate. It's not confusing when you realise that it's a 9 year old article.

We exhibit our dash and AC systems at the LRO show every year, feel free to come and look at what we offer and make up your own mind, or pop into our workshop in Lincoln and look at the build process. We have a demo vehicle here for you to test and evaluate. We make a nice brew as well, but...

Brilliant, that's what I was hoping for. Thanks James!

It's a 200tdi engine. I'm fitting a slightly bigger heater matrix if I can make it fit which already has a flow valve that I was hoping to utilise. A bypass valve would do the job though... Thanks :)

Evening guys. I'm looking at adding a bigger fan to my Defender's heater box and doing away with the hot cold flap thing, but this means that it will be blowing air through the hot matrix all the time. I'm therefore thinking of adding a flow control to the hot water inlet pipe so that I can shut...

OK, thanks. It starts off as normal, but shoots up to red once it gets up to working temp, so I assume it's not jammed just over reading the engine temperature without the glass cover on. I'll buy some new glass, hoover it out to remove any dust and see what happens unless there are any other...

The glass cover on my temperature gauge broke recently and ever since then the needle has been showing as red, even though she's running fine and dandy. Does the glass act in some way to create a vacuum for the needle to work? In other words, do I just replace the glass or do I need a new...

Had a hose blow out on my 2006 L322 a few days ago. Changing the hose was the easy bit. Trying to get the cooling system to bleed properly has been a nightmare to the extent that it has left me stranded pulling my hair out twice thinking that the engine had blown up. From cold I added water...

Pictures are better for those of you that can't read... :cool: We did a few using the genuine Tdci dash but they're a pain, so we now make our own to fit any model from '83 onwards.

Yep, that's from when it used to be a Police 90 in Manchester and someone shot an air rifle pellet into the side of it just missing the bobby stood next to it. Can't take out those bits of history, they make great stories.

Driver's side and passenger side air intakes are Range Rover Sport. I also moved the indicated repeater underneath the intake as well and de-seemed the wings into a single piece. Puma Updates is my profile name because we do a Puma Dash conversion for the Defender, but I didn't say that just in...

Hardly the same thing is it? Mondeo and Sierra are completely different cars. The 90 and the Defender are exactly the same, just called different names when the Disco came out. So a more accurate analogy would be the Pajero / Montero / Shogun - All the same, just different badges. Pedantic.... ;)

Oh, no......... You're not one of those guys are you? This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put. - Winston Churchill
