Hi All, after some time abroad, now getting round to fitting NAS LED lights to the rear of my 1996 300TDi. They're a mix of new and second-hand lights but all residing in new, standard height, plinths. The issue I have is that the two reversing lights (Le Perei) have a long extended inner rear...

Here's a video on yet another Ultimate Defender, the SVX Concept, HERE. It's made by Harry Metcalfe, a veteran motor journalist, past-owner of a car mag, Oxfordshire farmer and all-round good guy. In it, Harry reviews his own SVX Concept and, on selling it, discovers that its gone to a very...

This may have been posted around forums before, but the video is always worth a second look! It's made by Harry Metcalfe, a veteran motor journalist, past-owner of a car mag, Oxfordshire farmer and all-round good guy. In it, Harry reviews his own Series 1 HERE , which as he says, is the daily...

That's a big point in this whole debate. The high-end units have a supplementary transmitter to assist in the locating of the vehicle, if within close range and other anti-defeat options. For most of us, we make do with a unit that can be 'blanked' from mobile and GPS signals, etc, but I...

Thanks; these look excellent and very much what I'm after.

Many thanks for this.

Thanks for that and should be easy enough to source; out of interest, where did you buy it and is there any particular type, etc?

I'm looking to put some sort of rear inner arch protection on my D90 to help deflect mud and water from the multitude of orifices, traps and shelves that make up the chassis and tub. Experiments with heat-formed acrylic have had mixed results, so anyone experience of commercial systems (Lokari...

Sorted!

Love it when someone finds a bargain! For £90, why not take a punt because Inspector Knacker has zero interest, knowledge or notion to check anything like the back of a headlight and ditto for MoT guys, just so long as the beam is the correct profile and spread, etc. For £500, I'd certainly...

Some great advice both above and in the other posts. I would just echo the point above that the locks are the weak link; without going in to detail, there is very cheap kit out there (and I mean cheap!) and, even in the hands of the unskilled, will 'probably' defeat what's out there for us...

No probs. Sounds like you've a great Landy and it's just about to get better! Good luck.

Give Beyond Performance 4x4 at Mallusk a call. They're LR specialists and main man is ex-BLRC. I've used them on several occasions and excellent service and price OK.

I confess to having had to resort to Google in order to "seek a little clarification" on some of the terminology, but then I find I have to do that to decode some of Lord Hippo's ramblings...@Hippo;):eek:

Looks amazing! Health to enjoy, my friend! If you ever get to drive it to Ireland, I'd love to meet up!!!
