I've got some of the Wolf Boxes (frogsisland4x4 - Home and others). They are sturdy and stackable but pricy and don't seal completely so you'ld probably need to stow your kit in dust/waterproof bags inside the boxes. I'm not sure they can be securely locked either (I haven't tried to be...

Found a picture...

I also have TD5 2005 with Visteon 6500 head unit (CD useless with Defender suspension). Mine has a Dension FM link which feeds the iPod in via the aerial input. There is a Brodit brakcet available for the Defender. Also fitted is a Parrot CK3100 which fitted directly into the OEM...

Thanks for the reassurance. The gutters on my 110 are already a little out of shape due to Land Rover's build quality. If I mount a roof bar with a foot near the nearside rear door I can't open the door without the rack leg clamp catching the top of the door frame. So I'm going to...

In your question you asked about centre of gravity. Here is a link that demonstrates the concept BBC Forensic Engineering - Solve the Riddle - Centre of Gravity If tipping of the vehicle results in the centre of gravity stepping outside its contact area i.e. the rectangle made by four tyre...

Agreed £200 is a bucket of cash for spotlights. I put them on the bumper so I can switch them from spot to fog using the filters. I'd put something cheaper and more specific on the roof (although the Lightforce XGTs look impressive there's no way I can justify that sort of money). Any...

Installed a Safari which was straight forward (ish). The discovered my roof was installed by gibbons and the gutters are so low I can't open the nearside doors with a roof rack on (no sign of gutter abuse, just built badly). So, could mount a roof rack on an external cage but this would...

£200 will get you a pair of 170mm Lightforce plus the loom. Fancy filters roughly £28 the pair. V bright and no danger of rust but no idea if they're better than any other decent make. I've used a couple of pairs of Barri nuts to stop mine getting nicked. Had to get these from the US but I...

Problem solved. I've used a micro relay wired into the back of the switch to convert the switched earth to a switched positive and provide a feed to the 'on' indicator on the switch. If anyone is trying to fit the same switch let me know and I'll post the circuit diagram. Cheers

Hi, I have a 2005 TD5 XS with silver rectangular dash centre panel. Planned to fit a YUG000540LNF front fog switch in place of blank to switch front lights (fogs) when sidelights are on. I've searched most forums to get pinouts for the switch and came up with: 1 = earth switched 2 = +ve...

Can't help with the Snorkel as I've got the Safari type. On the routing question: I've added an additional horn (Stiebel Nautilus) which requires a relay, plus two bumper mounted fog lights and plan to add roof lights later. So, I bought corrugated tube and loom fittings from Polevolt and...

Ditto 6'4". I used Mud rails. Easy to fit and work a treat (reduce legroom in the rear though). Cubby box a bit less useful as an arm rest though as it's now too low. Fitted a new one from Mobile Storage Systems and had to raise it and move it back.

Mine's the aluminium version from Forgetec4x4 makers of steering guards, sump guards, jackable sills & ground anchors at £87 +vat which fitted reasonably easily, looks good and ought to be strong enough. Has recovery eyes but no shackles supplied.

Hi, I've had an 05 110 XS for a year or so now and the add-on bills are growing. I'm 6'4" so fitted a set of Mud Rails whihc transformed the seating position. A Dension Ice-Link and Brodit bracket means I can run the iPod through the radio as the CD is u/s given the suspension. Steering...

These guys make an aftermarket rev limiter but whether or not it will work on 5 cylinder engines I'm not sure. ::: Autocar Electrical Equipment :::

Just back from 2,500 miles to Italy and back in my 110 TD5 SW. At 80 to 85 mph on Autoroutes I got 300 miles from a full tank. At 70mph this improved to 370 miles. On local driving I get between 340 and 380 miles depending on traffic etc. A long run towing a small trailer at steady 50 to...

I'm planning to add some additional auxilliary power sockets to the cubby box on my 110 TD5 (2005) and a supply for a CB radio. I'd like to make sure all or some of the supply is available only with accessories on at the ignition switch. I reckon it's easier to add a new fusebox under the...

Got the Rebel4x4 heavy duty alu steering guard and it's the pony's privates. Also got the Safari snorkel. Maybe not such a good move to rush into that as I'm now thinking I should fit an external roll cage to provide extra support for a roof rack. The roof gutters look soft as pudding. Now...

Hi Sounds odd that your driver door mirror is different to the nearside door. I had to replace one of my mirrors recently and it is a straightforward allen key job, took 5 mins. Steve

A steering guard makes the front end look better too.
