    Carling Switches

    I would say the same, just wire them round the other way. personal preferance about which way you want them. All of mine are top depressed for off but thats just the way I wanted them. they will still light up when on either way.

    Exmoor trim load area seat

    Cheeper than the last ones, they were over £500 or is your figure less VAT. Total ripoff, not that the saftly of the wee ones isn't worth it but I'd rather just not take them then speand that kind of money!!

    Which exhaust?

    Quick update Have now got this sorted, I couldn't find and easy solution that wasn't going to cost anything less than £100 until..... Stainless Creations in Falkirk Love these guys... Once I took the silencer off and fitted the down pipe properly not only was it too long but it also...

    Which exhaust?

    Thanks for the replies folks I'll have a look at where the hangers are and hopefully get something sorted. The part on e-may is going to be to short from what the guy has said but worth a look. Engine is fairly far back hence the pipe being too long. One more question, I’ve never got my...

    Which exhaust?

    Thanks Stu Worth a look. The first front pipe bit might do the job, will send the guy a message and see what he thinks to matching up up the rest of my exhaust. Dunc

    Which exhaust?

    Hi All As per usual someone needs help. I have a 1984, 90 with 300tdi engine. Originally would have been a 2.5 N/A I believe. Front down pipe has totally split just by the flex and is/was hanging off making a hell of a racket. Got a new down pipe, no flex no cat. Took the old one off at...

    New suspension + rubber advice.

    How the new setup going? Looks like a hell of a lift but think I may be in he same boat with regards duff springs! Have you managed to get it all completed yet? Hows she handling, firm? Keen to hear any advice / feedback you have. Looking really nice though! Dunc

    New suspension + rubber advice.

    Sam Thanks very much for that, I have bitten the bullet and gone for 285/75s, yet to order the suspension but will follow shortly. The picture you sent is it before or after the lift, also what’s the ride like firm or hard?? And last but not least, as you seem to have done pretty much...

    New suspension + rubber advice.

    decisions decisions if 285's fit then I'm tempted to go that way for the extra hight. Don't mind about the steering stops, easily done. do they stick out past the arches?? would I need wider arches?

    New suspension + rubber advice.

    the reason I was asking about the 285/75 is the 75 is he hight in relation to the width. 265/75s are about 31.5" and the 285/75s are 33" From what folks are saying I think 265/75s may well be the way to go and standard suspension. Want to look good but want it to drive well even more. The only...

    New suspension + rubber advice.

    Thanks for the advice. i was going for the 285/75 for the extra hight. Local specialist is going to give the engine a tune, well play with the pump turbo, so I shouldn't see to much of a difference with the big wheels. Eddy - do you think these will fit under fresh standard suspension?? I'd be...

    Raptor Engineering Dashes, any good???

    I got one of these a few month back and totally love it. Very easy to fit, very sturdy and I think it looks much better then the MUD one. Wireing was pretty easy, I have never done it before but managed it without any fires so far. Also fitted carling switches and took a feed from the headlight...

    New suspension + rubber advice.

    1984 Defender 90, 300TDI So I have finally got some cash to go and buy some new rubber and maybe some new suspension. I’m looking at a set of General ATs 285/75/16 , yes I know they are big and some people like them and some don’t. This is what I fancy, if anyone has some...

    Cheers Griff, yes going to get a new relay and see if it does the job. Want to take the fuse box off and have a look behind any how. Got the glass fuses still and want to upgrade them to blades at some point. Thanks Jason, tried that one as well but will give it another shot tomorrow morning...
