Thanks, I'll give it a go.

Here, RX8 seat wiring diagrams Thanks V8250. The wiring diagram took a bit of interpreting but I think I follow it. The +ve / -ve are clear but no reference to the supplementary brown wires I have. Was hoping you could tell me what you did with yours.

Hi, Very impressed with the standard of this installation. I'm in the process of doing mine now and was intending using 20amp wire with a 15amp fused relay for the heated seats but will upgrade this now. I have run into a problem though and wonder if you could help. I have posted this question...

Thanks, really useful for the rest off it and encouraging high standard installation and safety but it doesn't explain the Brown wires. And the YouTube link seems to have disappeared.

Thanks. Intend putting a switch and relay in but the way the Browns are separated, 1 each to the Red & the Black seems odd for them to also require 12vs. Have other come across this when doing theirs?

I know there are a number of threads on this mod and I've read them all and also posted this question in one of them without response, hence as fresh thread. I'm trying to wire up the passenger seat heating element (supposed to be the easy one). All the guidance I find just says Red +ve/Black...

Thanks. Next Question: What are the brown wires for and what do I do with them? (realise this is 2 questions) I've go the passenger seat in and trying to wire up the seats heating element. All the guidance I find just says Red +ve/Black -ve (obviously) but no mention of the brown wires I've got...

Appreciate I'm bumping an old thread but it seems to be becoming the definitive thread for fitting RX8 seats, which I am about to do. My question relates to the airbags and whether they should be removed or not? Trawling around it seems many say you just need to cut back the yellow wire and...

Hi, I'm trying to wire in a Raptor Dash comprising of Stereo (no problem), CB, roof bar spots, rear work light ..... To be honest, I don't know what I'm doing but I'm giving it a go. Problem is I have a split charge system put in by previous owner but can't trace what's powering what. I've found...

Looking at the Paddocks site again, there are 2 - 1) Stainless Steel Utility Link Pipe - Def 110 - 300Tdi £41.89 Ex VAT PART NUMBER:DA4302 and 2) SS Silencer Replacement Pipe - Def 110 300TDI £43.98 Ex VAT PART NUMBER:PM958 I paid £41.89 + VAT so assume I ordered the 1st one but the...

The mild steel straight-through (no box) centre exhaust pipe on my 1997 300tdi 110 CSW rotted through so I ordered a stainless steel one from Paddocks (Prod. Code PM958), billed as a 8a-45 100TDI Replacement Pipe. When it arrived it looked identical but having now taken off the old pipe and...

Thanks for the input. By the sounds of things to get a good finish it looks like the first thing to do is strip all the existing plastic coating off, either professionally or self. Think, I'll have a go first with blow torch and scrapper and see how I get on.

HI, I've been gradually improving the important bits of the 1997 110 Defender a bought last year. As the weather start to get better my thoughts are turning to the cosmetics. It has a full external roll cage that in a number of places has had the plastic coating scraped away and the metal...

This is the winch - can't find out anything about it, never used a winch so don't really want to go fiddling without an idea of what I'm doing. There is a remote control that plugs into the side. It probably needs a good clean/service before use unless the consensus is it looks too risky. ]

Update: Took it to a well trusted LR independent to give a health check. The good news is that fundamentally it's sound but it has only done 3 miles in the last 18 months so a lot has seized, perished...... Decided to get everything practical sorted so after not having seen it for 3 weeks I...

Thanks for the vid, really good.

Mt newly acquired 1998 110 has come with a Maxtra 13000lb winch on the front. Despite various searches I can't find anything about it. Does anyone know anything about them? Never having had or used a winch, I'm looking to find out how it works, how it should be maintained, if it's any good and...

My fault, was just browsing and came across it - I've been in Insurance for over 35 years and take a professional interest in this stuff. I know more about insurance than fixing up land rovers but love both so thought I'd try and give a bit of guidance in something I know because as I'll be...

anything thats different from when it came out the factory should be considered a mod. I don't mean putting Britpart filters in but pretty much anything else that's different. the point is, its for the IC to decide whats relevant. tell them everything, if it doesn't make a difference the cost...

And that's, what I've done. 1997 110 CSW on galv chassis, full roll cage, winch and other stuff :):). First job is a major clean starting with jet wash and degrease underside and engine bay, then find out what I've bought and draw up a list of jobs. It seems pretty up together other than clutch...
