    Retrofit heated seats

    I have been offered a 110 utility at a good price (new). However it comes without the climate pack (ie heated seats and windscreen) I'm not so bothered about the windscreen being heated though I would like the heated seats. Is it possible to retrofit these? Ie is the wiring already there, and...

    110 and towing

    Sorry been away on holiday Utility Pack means hardtop sides ie rear side windows deleted on a SW 110. Classes it as commercial (Though you are charged full wack for road tax) Great for keeping tools in the back cause you can't seem them, but gives also the flexability of folding the rear...

    Aux fuel tank on a 90?

    Safari equip are quoting £305.00 plus VAT for a mild steel 50 litre tank and they can't fit, secondly you have to have a separate filler (which i'm not keen on) further your fuel gauge wont show the amount of fuel combined for both tanks and they also reckon it will take 4 hours at least to...
