PM sent - Am I first?

I have a 2005 Defender Td5 110 CSW and am looking to fit an HID conversion to the headlamps. I need to 'pick up' a live under the bonnet to power the(relay) wiring look that came with the kit. In the 'olden' days the battery was under the bonnet and the starter solonoid was also easily...

Probably best to bin the cd player an buy a head unit that has aux input on it already I haven't looked, but I've heard that the terminals/plug and socket on the back of the head unit are not standard iso/din and that you nead an adaptor (something about standard BMW plug)! - not sure if it's...

From information on another forum, it appears that the part numbers for the window regulators are: LH - CUH000090 RH - CUH000080 and someone got a quote of GBP 76 each from: autopost.co.uk I guess it's just some switches, a relay, and some wiring after that. I wonder how much of the...

I have them fitted to my BMW Motorcycle (the simpler H7 ones) and they don't seem to cause a problem (I don't get 'flashed'). Landrovers, etc. use reflector lights, most of the factory fitted HID's use projector lights which have a very accurate cut-off - my experience is that it is the...

Has anyone converted their headlights to HID? I did this on my motorcycle, and it's the best mod I ever did (H7), though I understand that HID H$'s are not perfect since they have a solenoid to move a shield to change from dipped to main beam.

I've just bought a 2005 Td5 110 from a friend [here in South Africa - but not that hot at the moment] (with 71,000 km on the clock) and have to say I'm dissapointed with the air conditioning. Is it usually fairly weak? If so, can it be improved? If not, what it the likely maintenance? Thanks...
