    Nope. I dont think this is, fog is earthed by the light unit.

    Ok, so , if it gets its power from the head lamp dipped beam on the light switch, how does it also need ignition on to operate? Dipped beam doesnt need ignition on. It has to take power from dipped beam though because when full beam is switched on the fog lamp goes out.

    Defender heater improvement

    The blender flap inside the box has a crap foam seal, you need to replace it. I sealed my blender flap completley, I doesnt have the option to run the heater cold but who even does that anyway?

    Amazon Echo Auto in a Defender, pre TD5 dash?

    I dont have vents, has anyone mounted one in an old Defender? Any ideas before I butcher the mount that came with it and glue it in?

    Wanted Forward facing load space seat for Defender 90

    Look for a 2nd row disco 3 middle seat, cheap as chips, fold down , integral seatbelt. A bit of grinding you can get two in there.

    Strange noise when turbo spools up first couple of times

    Oil pressure. Defo check that, when was the last filter change? also, after a run let it idle a while before switching it off, what does it sound like?

    Probably a fuel issue, right?

    Was, dont do it no more, no fiel, or less fuel would run lean and give white smoke. Could be a filter issue, low fuel pressure , but you usually get white smoke. Only other thing I can think of is the boost diagphram or the damper on the bottom of the pump.

    Probably a fuel issue, right?

    19j, drives Ok, then when its warmed up it lacks power and shudders under load, ok if I tease the throttle, give it beans and it shudders. Thats a fuel/air issue, right? No smoke though. Its the lack of smoke thats puzzling me.
