Yes. I had the smalller one on there previously ant it fitted the 6 switches I used already. However, I got the larger one to fit the dial for the Victron rather than mounting it anywhere else. The drawback of it there means that at the moment I can't really use the Overlander GPS unit on the...

When I had my Series 3 LR my hazards were also too slow. I ended up replacing the flasher relay I think. Being Ex Military it was a bit more complicated.

Hi. This post is in the wrong place. This place is for introductions. For the L322 RR you can try RR Section. There are also other forums for 'common problems' and stuff like that.

I've had a variety of projects on my 2002 Discovery 2 TD5, and the latest batch have started just after Lockdown. I did previously have a large boot box that could be folded out to make a sleeping platform but wanted something a bit more suitable to my needs, so got something else. A seperate...

I've looked into a few places and ended up mounting it in the nearside seat well in the boot. There was already a power feed there and we* moved the bracket for the FT857 further forward and bolted the compressor to a helpfully placed metal bar that also supported some electrical points and was...

Webasto ST2000 Airtop £1k Fitting & certification from Webasto service technicians £600 These days I value my safety a lot more than I used to, plus also this is a long-term plan and I also don’t have garage facilities to do it myself. I am loosely following the plans and photos from the CZ...

Have finally started the final procedure for getting the auxiliary diesel heater fitted to the discovery. Much planning and back and forth between myself and the garage, and looking at other sources for information to support my plan, and the placement of the heater. It is going in the boot in...

So. Since having it I have added a few bits, and despite the initial model it already had leather seats as extra. So I added to it with the help of friends and a work colleague. Despite some obvious holes in the trim, they have now been appropriately filled back in. The lights are great, to a...

That lifeboat was at Whitby, and you can google about it. It weighs 3.5t including the trailer and is legal to be towed around but they specify by LR. Which is nice considering. However, there had been configuration issues at the time about the layout of the load of which I was not made aware...

Hi Folks I've got a 2002 D2 TD5 with a front metal bumper and winch. It has a second battery in the engine bay on the passenger side against the bulkhead. It has SLS fitted and working, but I am wanting to fit an ARB compressor. I've looked around. There is no room in the engine bay. I am...

Whilst the red one was nice, it didn't last. I did well with it, and got a few ideas. A lot of use, and made good friends around. But it was taken, unexpectedly, from the rear. I stopped at the white line, in the auto, and foot on the brake pedal. It was a small humpback bridge with traffic...

I ended up on regular cars for a bit, as I got into truck driving and needed to do distance work just to get to work. Rover 400 did me well, and on winter tyres it was absolutely stunning. I got places i never thought I would. I would often only lose grip because the front spoiler was lifting...

So. After the cherrypickers, I got a job locally to where I lived on public transport and I helped out a friend by looking after his ex-girlfriends landie. It was bought for her but she decided to return it as it was quite expensive to run and needed some TLC... So for about 2-3 years, I drove...

LR Defender 110 with 14m Simon boom

Range Rover. Although it did not have that much damage, and, at the time had recently had an engine rebuild, I was given bad advice by the insurance company and it needed a lot of underneath work doing to it. I think the sills were bad but I was still learning this stuff so elected to move on...

Drakelow power station, rough ground access in a standard 7.5t boom truck. with 16 engineers around and their 4x4s with winches to support me as long as they didn't have to climb... Being still a 7.5t driver at that stage I was mostly in the MAN and Iveco 5t and 7.5t boom trucks. 14m, 15m, 18m...

Work wise. I tried indoor stuff. Call Centres, offices, admin stuff but... I didn't seem to get on in working in one big massive crowd and usually with everyone trying to one-upmanship of thier work over everyone elses. So I had a rapid direction change and started with 7.5t work with an agency...

So. I started off with a basic series three landie, a 2.25 3 bearing petrol engine with [some] horsepower and mostly on deestone cross-ply tyres. It went quite a few places that I probably shouldn't have done and had traction in lots of places until I needed someone to winch me out... But it...

Hiya Not sure if I've previously created a thread on here. I've owned a variety of 4x4s in my years of motoring, including a lot of 4x2s. Currently drive a 6x2 or 4x2 for work, but at least they pay the fuel. I'm a truck driver living in the Midlands, and I've had a variety of hobbies to keep...
