I'm with Nodge, plenty of space around the spare wheel.

Several of the major suppliers do these for Defender so worth asking them.

How about AC Motor Services ? :D 🤔

Yep, hate those electric handbrakes. I said that to the salesman when we test drove the wife's Zafira. He said, after a while you will never want to go back to manual handbrake. Well, I hate them even more now ! Especially since Mrs borrowed daughters Citroen and drove home with the handbrake...

Removing the gear lever is a case of just pulling it up and off ! But, if it was only that easy. The gator should pull down away from the knob. Then the lower part of the gear knob has two plastic prongs which grip a recess on the stick. It does pull up, but needs a firm grip and very sharp pull...

Start as above, check boot trim all around for security and nothing is obstructing the tailgate. If any parts have been changed, start there. One point I came across recently was that the green connector had been connected the wrong way around !

If you really want to advance the miles, practice on the old one. You may end up with digits misaligned, then all who look will think you have tried to turn it back ? Could be you have dry joint or two in the solder, it may well be an easy fix, if you know what you doing ... 🤔 As for keeping...

I'm not sure you can put 12v through the Disco' circuit board without possible damage ? The later models are set up for 5Volts I believe. Check earths and connections for security and damage.

Had a similar issue with my D2. Took it to B&B Garages Wavertree, they used some sort of socket which bit into the nut to loosen. If you can't get down there, maybe a similar socket can be bought ?

If it worked with a bit of fiddling with the bulb it would suggest the problem is at or near the holder. Check connections and earth are clean & secure. Buy a second-hand unit, or how difficult is it to remove otherside to slave on to test. Don't exclude the other lamps on that side, check they...

I've posted this elsewhere but I'm so please with myself thought I would do it again. Finally fitted the swivel gators, and insured the 2A. Renewal was £153, a comparison site got me down to £77, and. I bought through Quidco, so £36 Cash back. Result ! 😁

Can you remove this post please. Every time I read, I ask myself WHY did I sell mine. 😢

I've done the cable change on D2, it is not to difficult, just use the string as has been suggested. The Disco' Sport has a 2 piece cable, joined in a plastic sleeve next to the battery box, is Freelander the same ? If so check there. To check yours, latch them manually and have someone pull the...

EP 90 is the recommended but many folks use the one shot, though not sure it really is one shot. 🤔

The pitting needs to be filled in to keep the swivels spherical or I guess oil will leak around lower bits. Point of note, check how thick the casting is for any replacement parts some are thinner than they should be.
