    For Sale Slotted & drilled brake discs

    Yes, I believe so. My mechanic rang me at time of fitting to tell me they didn't fit, I had to nip straight out to Paddocks to buy a different pair, I'm sure I ended up having to buy vented, I shall have to dig out my receipt to check.

    For Sale Slotted & drilled brake discs

    Bought these for my 1996 LR Defender but I ordered the wrong size. Never been used, just tried to fit and then put back in box.

    Alarm relay rapidly clicking?

    Lately when I press the left button on my alarm fob to deactivate it before starting the ignition (standard factory alarm) it clicks rapidly for about 10 seconds, as if the relay is faulty, then stops. The alarm does deactivate just fine, but is this a sign of a problem? 1996 110 300tdi.

    All round off-road tires

    Great idea. Will putting the flat bit at the top enable me to dive off road?

    All round off-road tires

    Most tyres I've ever had have always been 'all round'. The only exception to this has been when I've had a puncture which means they still remain round in shape, but have a small flat bit at the bottom.

    Battery @ 12.7v - fully charged?

    Thanks, nice to know its ok then:) Great photo by the way:D
  18. LeadFarmer

    Battery @ 12.7v - fully charged?

    Correct:) With engine running at idle whilst stationary its 14.1v, thats without any load such as lights etc. So 12.7v when parked on driveway, and 14.1v with engine running.
