    Essex lanes

    I would love to say yes but in all honesty I doubt I could do a weekend away, a days laning will take it out of me, unfortuantly I am past the point of reasonable health and really am down to a day activity and then a few days rest, I had the pain specialist round today and am having to have a...

    Video Cameras for Off-Roading

    I personally found the camera in the iPhone 4S and above was ideal, the image stabilisation works really well and the colours stayed true even going in and out of sunlight, only thing is it fills your phone up quick...

    Wiring spot lifts with side lights in aswell.

    Definitely do it via a switched relay, the sidelight wiring is made for the sidelights, if your sticking spots on it you will draw way to much current, possibly melt the loom and there goes your truck up in flames! Personally I always keep any additional electronics on a completely separate...

    Facelift Headlight Security Kit

    A patent is not easy, my grandad was an engineer and designer and he had a few, use to take ages and was a nightmare like you say but once they send receipt of your application you can release patent pending. Patents are very hard to get though as they need to be totally unique and nothing else...

    I just bolted a towball and pin (can't remember what they are called) to a pressbrake crossmember, used it many times, even bent someone's standard crossmember right up when recovering him...

    Facelift Headlight Security Kit

    You do realise you can release as patent pending, if your granted the patent then it goes from the date you submitted your application so unless someone has already submitted they cannot copy your design...

    Not really on the mend as such, had a major op on my bowels and getting over that although it's not good news in general as it has been diagnosed as terminal and I have been given 12 months, it's not ideal but I am looking at the positives and have to think it could be worse, I could be...

    Essex lanes

    The guy I sold mine to only lives over the road, he's a good mate and I gave him a hell of a deal as its not about the cash so he said I can have it anytime, I am a bit gutted I never got to use it properly. The problem at the moment is the jerking motion as I had my stomach cut open and it's...

    Hi guys, well it seems everyone is still fixing their trucks at the moment, reading through all the posts it did seem that maybe everyone would have a working one at one point but alas no, that's not how landrovers work! I'm slowly getting a bit better after a major op and am hoping to do an...

    Headlights

    Take it to a garage, there is no way for you to correctly align the lights yourself, you need a beam setter to do it

    Hmm. Convertible.

    complete fail, convertibles should be sleek and sexy, that just looks wrong, screams 'I got money but no taste!'

    Xenon head lights...

    Have a look at the link, they are xenon bulbs not HiDs, it's just a different inert gas in the bulb instead of halogen, allows the filament to burn brighter... HiDs need to have the correct lenses fitted, the filament is different to a standard style bulb and the beam pattern won't be legal...

    Xenon head lights...

    Yep, as he said, these are xenon bulbs and not what is known as HiD which can also use xenon as the inert gas. There will be a slight change in colour and that may make it appear brighter however seeing as they are still on 55w (which, legally, is good) there won't be much more light output.

    Some people! how does he expect to sell it

    Just because it passes an MOT doesn't male it legal, the MOT just states it must be readable, reflective and the font/spacing is correct, it doesn't go into the legalities of construction. the reason they should have a postcode is to clamp down on easily available plates without documentation...

    Some people! how does he expect to sell it

    I believe officially no as at this point it should have had a makers mark on it, MOT doesn't always means something's totally legal, it just checks whats asked on the MOT
