Looking really quite good there. Nice. Mine (I bought in Feb.) is very similar overall and I've been tinkering and adding bits along the way. I bought some LED headlights for a good price which goe well with the LED light upgrades you have also.

Another delivery on Friday were the Exmoor trim loc & fold forward facing seats I was waiting for to replace the 4 inward facing that are currently fitted in the back. A bit safer with a full 3-point seatbelt too. These pretty much match the Corbeaux bucket seats that were already fitted when we...

A good day on Saturday after I switched the news wheels and tyres onto the 90. Really made a big difference I think to the way it looks now, much meatier. Wheels 18inch with 285/60 BFG tyres.

Oh Jeez what a pain in the ass. Sorry to hear that. I guess a standard locking wheel lock is pretty easy to come by for the thieves. You don't really want to be chaining the wheel against the car either

Another job over the long weekend I managed to get done was to remove the EGR valve, Ordered a kit from X8R which came with everything and the solenoid blanks once the vacuum tubes come off. Pretty easy to fit as the most difficult thing is removing allen head bolts after all these years.

Paintwork looks great

Another job tackled was the fitting of the Land Rover swing away wheel carrier designed by Mantec and supplied by Defender Upgrades. Very nice and very solid bit of kit. Had to drill a few holes but easy enough to do and just replaced the door plate that was there using the same holes. The...

So over the weekend a bit more fiddling on the Landy to get a few more bits added. Started with fixing the rear high level brake light that wasn't working and one of the prongs from the glass had snapped off but also just wasn't making the full connection either, so I took the easy option and...

And you're absolutely right :) Have you repainted yours, ? what did you use ? Looks like I'll have to drill out the rivets if I want to do it properly, or maybe powdercoat them. Or just mask up all the side of the car and spray it insitu.

Good morning, Another step forward for the Defender at the weekend. Got hold of a crossmember chequer cover plate to match the new side pieces I added a few weeks ago. Helps to clean up the look a little bit. The two bolts at either end were a bugger to get out so had to dremel the nuts off...

I have very recently had a very long chat with the guys at Twisted Automotive about wheel and tyres. I'm ordering a set to upgrade my own from 235/85/16's. Anyway. The BFG A/T 265/65/18's have been the tyre of choice for the street look that lots of companies use. But Michelin (who own BFG) have...

Yes it was, they are very simple units. You have two options with the halo on these, either you connect an ignition live and you get the Halo daytime running light, or you connect to the indicator wire and that same Halo will flash amber when the indicators come on. Nifty.

Got some more changes done to the Defender at the weekend which was good. Fitted one of those clutch pedal springs to make it a little lighter to depress. What a bugger of a job this is, was worried I was going to lose and eye with the spring pinging about. :) Also had delivery last week of...

Ashford, Junction 10, M20.

BeginnerLandyMan, Thanks very much for the offer but I think we'll stay with my plan to buy new ones as we already have Corbeau front sports seats and we'd want to match as much as possible, but thanks

Yes certainly could be. Can you send me a picture and are they folding, which they need to be for space. Cheers

Already got some new wheels & tyres from Twisted Automotive on back order to switch to 18" vs the 16" sawtooth wheels on it now. Tyres going from 235/75/16 to 285/60/18 from BFG. Then on to Exmoor Trim to get some lovely new Loc & Fold seats for the rear to replace the 4 inward facing seats...

So recently joined the forum and already had fun reading through some of the projects on here. Certainly seems like a can of worms in some cases and sheer keen owners doing so much themselves. Never had a Land Rover Defender before but fancied a bit of fun. The list of things to change or...

Many thanks Knappster.

What a great list of changes you've made. Really interesting to see. I'm also Kent was was thinking of a Stage 2 remap from those guys in Margate so will watch with interest when you get round to going that. Are you thinking stage 1/stage 2 ? and will you be changing other components ? Our 90...
