Hi guys .. so today I decided to give my old frame roof rack a clean and a paint , thought id go with hammer right smooth.. Now this got me wondering , what paint should I use to paint the rear cross member and tow bar , and even the front bumper ? was wondering if hammer right would do...

Hi .. I will double check the screw on filter today .. The pipe I was talking about was the pipe under the turbo .. I will see if I can take a few photos today ..

Hi guys .. I have a defender 110 td5 , 1998 , full service history for what its worth .. and about 111k on the clock ..., this is my first defender and just finding my way .. I have noticed that I have a bit of a leak , I have topped up the oil about 1 ltr in 6 months , so not terrible but...

yeah , that was my thinking .. and if it was over heating , it would have stayed on .. im thinking it was water in the connector which was creating a circuit ... I guess I will have to see what happens tomorrow , tho im unlikely to be able to get under and have a look as the snow is...

ok ... I will check this tomorrow.. Im hoping everything is ok . , not had any issues .. i did wonder if it had got wet , as it seemed to fade on , the fade off ... I had this on the diesel sediment light .. and on inspection , it wasn't even connected up .

... MMmm ok Was driving at normal speeds , not towing anything , it was snowing hard , it was dark ... its a defender 110 1998 , 50 year edition , full history , 2 owners .. I am sure I have read that some of the defender didnt have a sensor , and that the loom was tucked up out the...

Hi guys .. I was driving home tonight , and this light came on , it only was on for a few min , and then just faded off then was ok .. everything appears to be normal, cant really see as its dark .. and snowing hard .. what's the normal cause for this , I did wonder if the plug where...

the cable , its listed at 110amp .. ... im guessing maybe pulses upto 500amps , least thats how I read it , tho thinking about it I may be wrong... shouldn't need it anyway , 110 should be plenty .. .. got it fitted out with fuses on both sides everything done and finished , all working...

Sure , I know what your saying .. My cables are 110 amp , I opted for this size as they seemed just easier to work with ... just checked , 110 - 500 amp rating , so I would guess that would be ok ..

I have used a 200 amp relay ... I didnt go for a voltage sensing unit because I wanted to keep things simple , but I wasn't sure if to add a switch so I can manually split the batteries .. ? what benefit is there .. I may just connect it up to join when I switch the ignition on , and...

Hi all . . I have been fitting my split charge system , bit of a basic system mind .. now I could connect the relay direct to an ignition , or to put it on a switch .. Is there any real benefit to have the relay controlled with a manual switch ? or is it just as well to fit and forget ...

yeah , we have added extra security .. its a shame that we have to do this tho :( and will over time be adding other extra layers of security ..

.. I can see a place for dual alternators , but for what im after its a little over kill .. I have done a search , and only found other people saying to do a search as this has been done to death .. but little info .. lol .. I think im prob going to opt for a simple relay and add a...

Hi all Im new to the Landy Zone , and tbh , new to defenders .... I had always wanted a defender and when recently decided we needed a more suitable vehicle the defender was at the top of the list .. So we are a family of 5 and a dog , we tend to do a lot of outdoor stuff, we spend a lot...

Ok I will have a search to see what has been posted before.. Fitting a second alternator this seems a bit counterproductive, the guy in the post said it had been ok for a few years , and then had a problem .. why not just replace the relay ... ? Because alternators go wrong too ? I’m very...

hi all I am planning on fitting a split battery system on my defender , I would like to split a second bat from the main to prevent it from running low , if / when I'm using from the 2nd bat to power accessories / charge cam / charge drone / phones / iPads ... and so on while we are at camp...
