I finally wired up my Defenders DRLs properly. They now light up with the ignition on and go off when sidelights are turned on. Had to do it before my new Warn winch is delivered tomorrow as the winch will reduce access to the DRL control box and wiring.
Looking forward to fitting the Warn tomorrow!

Got around to doing some wiring today, got dash sorted with all panel lights working.

I had my dash out and found a bunch of in-line connectors in the rear fog light wiring. It hasn't worked for a while so need to go back in there again!

What pedal lock? I've ordered an 'ardcase' and am waiting for delivery. Not cheap but if it slows the pikeys down long enough for me to load my shotgun then I will be happy!

Looks good but where do you put it when driving? The ardcase has a tidy stowage but it ain't cheap!

I use this:
https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/picture-posting-for-dummies.47795/
It's a little different with the 'new' forum software but more or less still works.
I find Photobucket to be the most Landyzone compatible place to put my pictures and I use their 'IMG code' in my posts and the pictures show up as if by magic.

Are you using a phone, or a puter? If its a puter it will work if you do as Brown suggests.

Today I've looked at the Defender as I walked past.

That's it.

I bled my brakes after new callipers, discs and pads had been fitted. i also sorted out the earth on the temperature guage so I stand a chance of knowing if the engine's overheating...

This evening I have put new bump stops on the rear. Sounds simple but by the time you've got the seized bolts sawn off and found some more the right size, plus washers, it takes a while. On the old ones the rubber had separated from the metal, and had completely come off on the driver's side. I'm gradually doing little jobs like that so it's not a mad rush for the MOT which will be due at the end of next month.
