    Alternator Upgrade

    Is it possible to get a larger output alternator for my 200tdi Defender? I think mine is 65amps and I dont think it is up to the job. When I run all the lights including my top four spotlights, two spotlights and main beam the gauge rapidly moves to the left and stays there. Can I upgrade it for...

    What no red title

    I donated purely because I get a lot out of the forum which is valuable to me in many ways. I feel a small donation to help the upkeep of the site then I am happy with that.

    What no red title

    I know this may seem petty but I am led to believe that you get your name in red if you donate. Mine is still green, I surely did not donate enough?????:(

    Rear door external chequer plate?

    If you are handy with a welder then you could repair the door yourself with very little cost. It is suprising what you can achieve when you can put your mind to it or indeed if you have a friend that has welding skill perhaps ask them. Since I have owned landrovers it is amazing what skills I...

    Rear door external chequer plate?

    If you just type in defender it will come up with loads of stuff, you just have to sift through the crap. My rear door was so bad I had to get a new one. So good luck with your purchase and the fitting.

    Carling switch query

    It's the Mudstuff one that I have and the red and white wire is for the green illumination yes. Even so it doesnt work properly and I thought perhaps there was something not right. I will call them tomorrow.

    Carling switch query

    Yes the washers were working and still are when I plug it back into the old round switch. Apparently when using the Carling switch all you have to do extra is tap into the red and white wire for side light ilumination. The other thing that is strange is that when you activate the switch and the...

    Dum Dum sealant

    I agree, Tiger Seal is excellent stuff as most of my landy was put together using it. Be aware though it sticks like **** to a blanket, get it on your hands and be prepared either to live with it on or buff it off with a grinder.

    My 110 rolls like a pig in a corner - help

    I have just rebuilt my landy with quite a lot of added weight as I have roof rack and drawer system and mine is the same, the handling is terrible. I have used heavy duty springs and shocks. I have no anti roll bar on either and I was contemplating fitting it back on but I would have to make a...

    Anti Roll bar query

    Yes that and carrying a bit of weight as well, I have a drawer system in mine and quite a bit of storage also a roof rack so it is heavier than some. It doesnt handle too badly but I would imagine if I had to make a quick manouver it would be on its side if not careful. I have heard that people...

    Anti Roll bar query

    My landy has heavy duty springs on which resulted in the vehicle being lifted by about 1.5" I also have DS carbon shocks fitted. I could not fit the anit roll bar as it was a little short due to the lift. She doesn't ride all that well and was wondering if I should make up some brackets and re...

    Window wiper issue

    Just when I thought I had got it all sorted my problems have returned. I changed the wiper motor, the rail and got myself a new relay. Everything worked fine, the intermittent and the park all was good. Now driving home was going to use the wipers and just touched the wiper stalk and this set...
