    Replace TD5 Def 110 Handbrake Cable easily

    My handbrake cable ('04 Def TD5) has been sticking for a while, and i'm pretty sure it was on the way out for quite a time. It snapped last Wednesday, so after a bit of checking around, decision was made to get a new OE one. Online price was found to be the same as the stealer price, so...

    Exmoor Trim seat risers - anyone fitted them?

    Another vote here for the Mud Stuff ones, simple and straightforward, and (if no problems with the old seat rail bolts) could easily be done in a lunchtime. Had mine 3 years and *so much* better. Anyone know of a supplier for doing the same to the middle seat?

Others are very simple internally (the very cheapest ones, and some well known branded ones) using SDR - a very wide front end with poor filtering...

    Good CB radio and antenna set-up???

    I have a CB and amateur radio in my Def but there is a problem with TD5's if you site the antenna badly. The most important thing is where you site the antenna, then how you wire it for power, and finally the radio itself. A great radio will be useless with an improper install. The TD5 works...
