Where abouts on the rim? Is it a wheel off job? Just crawled underneath and cant see anything on any of the wheels?

Superb. Thanks guys!

Hi. i have modular wheels and 30mm spacers. i need new tyres soon and want to replace the wheels with a suitable offset / back space to allow the tyre outer wall to remain in the same position. any ideas? thanks!

i agree on the axle. once built the a-frame is being extended for a gas / battery box on the front. also, there is no weight being loaded aft of the axle. fore of the axle will be the batter and gas, water and other stuff. the bed etc will also be 60% fore of the axle leaving only the trailer...

she is coming on! The aim is to have it watertight and painted at least before the Bristol and West show. It will be on the Cheshire Land Rover Club stand if anyone is interested!

Thanks Bump! Look forward to hearing back!

Thanks Paul! :)

More looking at the new lamps... there is a red, black and green wire.... which do these relate to on the trailer wire?

This is the current state. Side panels next weekend and the rear door...then the inside. If you are interested I can start a longer post?

I am building an overland caravan. Designed to look like a landrover. My question is this.... I am using a trailer board to get the main electrics right. But am using defender lights on the trailer. I am only stuck on the stop tail lights. Which 2 wires are the live? On the trailer board with...

Ok. Weird one. 300tdi defender. Intermittent startimg issues. Always starts like the battery is low. Starter motor is 12 months old. Battery is 3 days old (thought that was the problem). The problem is this. Often when on a run when I stop it seems the battery is dead ish. Then if I wait...
