    Anyone encountered these LED headlights?

    In truth, I really wanted you to prove me wrong when I said this - ...but, alas, you were not able to resist.

    Anyone encountered these LED headlights?

    Not even slightly - Legality can be discussed, at length (as is so frequently proven on many many forums). I mean people make their whole lives income from debating the legality of certain issues. There is a whole trade around the area. Sometimes, however, you want to ask a technical...

    Anyone encountered these LED headlights?

    Mostly im wanting to reduce the amps on the loom. I know about localized relays, but ive never found them to change things significantly, whilst LED run way cooler.

    Anyone encountered these LED headlights?

    Disclaimer, I made the mistake of asking about these on another forum, and, despite my best efforts, it just turned into some dick waving contest concerning regulations. To be absolutely clear - my defender is only ever used on a private race track in a pressurized environment on the moon, so...

    Bolt removal - advice required

    At this point, my confusion is - How have you managed to own a landrover for long enough to become a "well known member" without owning a welder?

    Diesel fuel pipes ?

    My 101fc (which is now a diesel) is plumbed with clear nylon pipe. Like the 300tdi era builds, only clear, so you can see any air issues. It took a while as there's so many size variants etc but none of it is "push on" but all done with compression fittings and little brass inserts (so the...

    Bolt removal - advice required

    Irwin things may work on that. Welding an oversized nut (so you can get plenty of metal / heat down the hole) certainly will. Its not so much the ability to give it extra grip, as the proper directed heat doing "somthing" to the bond. Mapp is one level - mig is entirely another.

    Conversion

    The rooves are the same. The chap i bought my 88 sides off (for my 110csw) said he had bought them for his 90 by mistake, so i guess thats somthing to look out for.

    300TDI Disco1, temp sensor locations

    Ive always been told that the issue with 300s is that the headder tank isnt that high, and it doesnt take much to airlock the water pump. Ive had 300s for 20 years or so, and not found this to be an issue, but im not saying some people dont. There are 3rd party alarm things for the headder...

    300 TDI and EDC

    I've not checked but I'm under the impression that the edc pumps look quite different. Much squarer top. But do verify this for yourself.

    Spraying Problems

    Datasheet will give a rough starting pressure for your paint. 2.7 bar seems pretty high for a hvlp, but the datasheet will tell you. You need to set the pressure to give the atomization that you want, and then adjust the needle on the gun to give the flow. A longer hose from the compressor to...

    GETTING SWIVEL TO AXLE BOLTS OUT!! - they are out!!!

    I find that, whenever I actually resort to welding a nut onto a stuffed fastener, it then seems to undo with no bother at all, almost as if it's taunting the effort you went to. I guess it's the extreme heat. I think an induction heater was mentioned earlier, but I've never used one of them...

    Help "breaking in" to a second row door

    Apologies for the omission. I think (not sure) that you may need to sell the regulator with the glass, which would probably rule me out - I think that with that winder (the hex screw on one) the connection between the glass and the runner thing is different. I'm not certain (and I'll check)...

    Help "breaking in" to a second row door

    Some of the winders screw on - the center cap prices out and there's a screw under, but most are the circlip. Again, some amount of inward flex is needed on the card to get to the clip. If you're getting rid of the passenger side winder mechanism (regulator) let me know. The one on ours is...
