Cheers, I haven't indulged much into electronics before, i am quite happy tinkering around with the mechanicals which is partly why i got a 90 but always love learning new things. I had a D3 for around 7 months before getting the 90, if im honest i loved it, it did everything i needed it too...

Cheers blue beasty, pretty much exactly what i will be running too.

Thanks for all the information, will read these over the weekend. pretty sure the split charge system is the way to go, sorry last question, will i need an uprated alternator?

Cheers, That sounds exactly what I'm after, I think the Durite kit must be this Think I will need an inverter too to run a laptop and charge drone etc.

Cheers dieseldog69, I had briefly read about fitting a second alternator, didn't expect somebody to have made kits, looks fairly simple to fit. With regards to the leisure battery, so a 100ah battery will last 100 hours pulling 1 amp an hour? Is it as simple as that? I think for example the...

Good evening, We are in the midst of planning our NC500 trip in August, we have our roof tent fitted but yet to be used, just waiting for a free weekend. We plan on purchasing a dometic 14l fridge/cooler to run while away, this way we can keep drinks cool but also keep things like bacon for...

So sorry for the mega slow response, thank you for the suggestions. I went straight and checked the vacuum system. The T piece into the servo had broken clean in half, replaced this and all is well again. Cheers guys.

Evening landyzoners, I hope you all had a good Christmas. We have a land rover 90 with a 300tdi, We spent the day modifying our roof rack and fitting our roof tent. We fitted some MUD UK sun visor covers/storage and all was going well, until.... We were heading out for dinner and i suddenly a...

Yes that was my thought too, both fuses did not blow, one had a 5 amp and the other had the correct 2.5amp fuse. We acted very quickly using the emergency isolator so maybe this stopped it blowing, not that knowledgeable about electrics yet, maybe it should have popped quite quickly.

Replacement switch fitted and has solved the problem, £17.00 + VAT for a Lucas switch

Thanks AI203, looks like a replacement switch for now then, i have the MOT this month so will get her through that first.

Evening everyone. Had a bit of a drama today. Heading out to the shops after walking with the dog and we smelt a strong electrical smell, after wondering who it was we then saw smoked and grabbed for the isolator. After a few quick checks on the side of the road I found the sidelight wire...

Yep after this video i am swaying hard towards the Tuff-Trek soft top for me too. I would however like to know if anyone has had any dealings with Front Runner - https://overlandgear.uk/collections/camping-storage/products/roof-top-tent I have heard good things about them and is quite a chunk...

Personally i like the look of the soft top tents, yes we had a look around the Tuff-Trek stall, dont remember seeing the TT02 but could be wrong. Are you happy with the build quality of yours? I think that is what i am after the most, a well made quality tent. Did you do the off road course...

Thank you, I hadnt looked at this company before, just had a look at their explorer, looks well priced too.

Love the picture by the way. Yes settled with the rectangle shaped ones. The terrafirma bar allows for 4 spots to be mounted and def plan to mount them under the bar and not on top. Hadn't thought about getting halogens to be honest. Not much difference in price between them. Would you think...

Thanks, sounds like a tidy option. I have also seen that some people run the wiring down the snorkel and into a relay in the engine bay, might be an option if i don't fancy drilling through the roof. Thank you for the Ebay link too, going to order a couple of pairs of these.

That was my worry too. I guess once the wires are tucked up away you don't really notice them anyway.

Yep that's exactly the sort of things I was looking at. 4 of them across the top would look spot on. How did you wire them into the car? Hole through roof?

Have you considered LED bulbs, at work we fit the LED bulbs from https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/ There are other people that make them but the bulbs from here have the best beam pattern.
