    Rear window wiper motor, will it fit?

    Is that a Puma rear door? My lad's TD5 rear door is beyond saving and I'm thinking of fitting a puma rear door. I haven't paid a huge amount of attention to the back when we're out in it - is there actually any need for a rear wiper?

    Vehicle Security

    3 of my 4 bikes are datatagged along with alarms and smartwater (1 bike is a parts donor), simple to do DIY and register, any security has to be better than none. I believe Yamaha own Datatag and Honda own Smartwater. My freelander on the other hand for now has standard LR security.... Guess...

    door lock barrel

    The old chestnut: water ingress.

    As far as I'm aware dum dum sealant isn't available any more, we bought this - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Defender-Owners-need-Dum-Dums-water-proof-sealant-tape-that-never-set/202457399140?hash=item2f2366bf64:g:MxMAAOSwszVbxpbH for my lad's 110. Not used it yet so I can't say if it...

    What else is in YOUR garage???

    In the garage - wife's learner legal Lexmoto ZSB125 custom thing, my 'mildly tuned' Honda X11, a Honda X11 for spares, my Triumph Tiger 955i hooligan bike and my project Suzuki TL1000R (a little more than mildly tuned), there are also tools, bits and pieces off my son's Defender, bike spares and...

    How do I find a switched live wire?

    If your radio/stereo/disco system only comes on after you switch the ignition on then it is an after ignition live and you can use that feed. Just a thought - can you use the existing radio live feed anyway? if you have to turn the stereo off after you've turned the ignition off it's only 1...

    flat battery

    Completely my fault! Due to not using my '04 TD4 for a while, the battery has gone completely flat. For some strange reason it has popped the drivers door lock which is very useful, I can open the bonnet! Before I pull the battery out and charge it is there anything specific I should know? I...

    Defender Bobtail

    I like both of those, particularly the Tornado. I've seen a few pics on google of bobtailed 110's but no build details. There are a couple of build details on stretching a 90 to 100", devon4x4.com may be able to give you some advice from what I've read. It would be worth checking you don't need...

    A Frame Problem

    Don't forget to put a rubber grommet round the edge of the chassis hole, probably not needed but better to be safe and not have the edge of the hole cut through your loom

    Freelander 1 Forward Parking sensors... plus. My last. Sniffle.

    I don't normally troll but either you are completely wrong on points 1 and 2 or Suzuki wasted a load of cash developing the COLD ramair intake system on both my TL1000R and my Hayabusa - other COLD ramair motorcycles are available. It seems an awful lot of cars with intakes positioned to get the...

    Show us yer Freelander!

    The electronics were already there Rich, it's where LR put the sub (thanks for the info Nodge) if it was spec'd with the multi cd/satnav. I've not really paid much attention to what is where but now I know it's only the sub I can look at changing it - as the bass is frankly rubbish I can...

    EGR removal and remap

    My lad has an EGR delete fitted on his TD5 (he fitted just after christmas), it hasn't been remapped yet and it runs perfectly fine. There is an electrical connection that needs disconnecting but I couldn't tell you which except it was up under the front wing!

    What are these two wires for (by the transfer box?)

    It's a one piece extension bar, 9/16 6 point socket one end and a 3/8 square drive the other (on the one we bought anyway). It would have worked with an impact gun - if the piece of poo Hawk impact gun I bought from ebay would have actually had some guts, seriously don't buy a hawk 14.4v...

    What are these two wires for (by the transfer box?)

    Not fair - you got your prop off! After going to every place that sells tools on a Sunday I finally managed to get some imperial spanners (japanese bikes are metric so guess what all my tools are?) and still couldn't get the b****y thing off, special tool ordered to try again this weekend....

    Show us yer Freelander!

    Fat ass, more commonly known as Bear, he takes up half a king size bed to himself given the chance! I think I might need to swap my Freelander for a Discovery to fit anything besides him in the back.
