Hi! It's possible that this is a dead end request but has anyone out there been able to use the air con parts from a Discovery 1 to rebuild for a Defender installation? I'm using the 300tdi engine and auto gearbox to upgrade my Defender Tithonus. Looking at the $$$ aftermarket air cons for...

Hi, Have purchased three "Rax" roof bars from FlatDog and due to the width of each bar I cannot fit my Maggiolina Extreme roof tent with the original brackets. - Has anyone else done the same, and if so, what was your solution? I have found "x-long clamps" from Maggiolina but they are only 83mm...

I replaced the switch and had the problem resolved. Thanks for the support! Another electrical matter, on one of the rear left bulbs. Is this normal and all I need is to replace the bulb - or is this actually indicating something worse?

Hi Just got a Defender 110 hard top, 300tdi -96. When picking it up the indicator switch wouldn't stay in high beam mode, instead it would immediately flip back. Now the same has happened to the left indicator and not only that, when turning it to left today there was little bit of electric...

Nice. Do you have a picture showing the result?

Thank you, I will do that!
