    What money should I be asking?

    Agree.. you can buy a 3 k defender and spend 30 k on it and you wont have a 33k defender. Its a given you will NEVER make your money back on it, which is fine as you have built it for your needs/likes etc. Stick it on eBay and keep the address well hidden...and you will get what its...

    Learning to fix Land Rovers like a pro - career advice wanted

    There has probably never been a better time to learn from the internet with hi def videos. You can always set yourself up recording as you do things as well. The degree and education will REALLY help if you need a loan/credit facilities/mortgage for when you go into business if you wanted.

    Electrics Wot wire size

    I like that, the main loom is 43 years old and very weakened so I may well do that as well, wire turns up tomorrow, just hope I can find the new eyes for it. This is the location, its a pig to get to so glad it disconnects.

    Electrics Wot wire size

    Thanks for the help.. I have a load of those connectors, luckily this one has a junction. Thats the wire in question. I measured it about 2.6mm... I only have 2.1mm or 3.3 wire so will have to source some more I guess... Do you think that will be 2.8mm wire ? The fuse is 20a so I suspect...

    Electrics Wot wire size

    Electrics Wot wire size

    Non Land Rover - I have a fuel pump harness which is knackered. I have some wiring from Halfords which is 8 amp. My fuel pump is 7 amp. Is that ok to fit or do I need to go a lot higher ? Is there a chart anywhere for UK sizing amp vs wire size ?

    CHATGPT - Learnings

    So ChatGPT, what is it ? An AI based Q&A session which is free (odly) and often called out for mistakes. So at work we have a director who is very good and she is also very non technical. They have this thing where they have to give a talk on something new they did that month for a couple of...

    Body work getting eaten away on inside - white thick liquid

    Its a chemical process when the ally touches steel, you should be able to put a membrane or anything between, they should be treated but some better than others. Most just live with it.

    P38A What can kill a battery?

    May just be a drain on it somewhere, 5 mins drive wont have added the charge to cover the jump start. Get a volt meter on the battery so you can see the before you start voltage and see overnight etc. If you started the day literally with enough juice to crank it then did 2-3 stops I can see...

    Warranty on a Cat S write off

    I would be guessing but I would be VERY surprised if anyone could stand by a warranty on a vehicle which is written off. There are so many unknowns and risk which there wouldn't be any appetite for.
