Got some of these pivoting ramps, very pleased rated for 5 tonne, I use locks and chocks with them, perfect for defender work.

Outdoor charging cabinet (IP66) I finally fixed to my garage wall, fed up of trailing wires when charging vehicles.
I have hard wired a CTEK hook up to the def batt, but can use CTEK croccy's for my other vehicles.
Ctek charger is great, works sub zero etc.

Finally getting round to wiring up small fused distribution buzz bar box. (with LED blow indicators)
Have too much coming straight from the battery, not happy with lots of connections at battery terminals.

Heated seats and windscreen, numerous lights etc, decided it was time to use my OCD wiring skills to good use.

If you have not worked it out yet I have a weakness for LED's :p

A couple of these arrived today, going to flush mount in front bumper to replace the tiny button leds, not sure if I will use as DRL, or may use a front fogs on separate circuit. They look like they will fit with just a gnats cock of clearance (2mm) top and bottom, so going to have to get surgical with a grinder and a file, shame I don't have a plasma cutter yet, but will have some day maybe!

Those Rhino heaters are awesome. I used to be Duty Manager at Rothesay Pavilion (Large Multi Purpose venue on the island) and we had these as a back up for when the old heating system broke down. Two of these heated up a 1000 seater hall in about 20-30 mins

Yea well pleased with them, I like a toasty garage / workshop means I can stay in there during winter months, nothing more miserable that freezing cold spanners!

I got my ones a couple of years ago on ebay, £30!!!!
Then when a bulb went and whilst looking for a replacement I spotted one again on ebay for £40!!, with both bulbs working considering a new bulb is £15 so I bought another one, they are both 240V.
Lent one to a pal for his static caravan and while we refitting it, left it down there bloddy site closed for winter so just got one in garage at mo, to think have had fan heaters, stupid gas heaters, and a couple of large lpg torpedo blowy things over the years and all along I just needed a Rhino.
Bonus is they are perfect for drying filler or paint!
