Is it a defender 200tdi or disco? The defender dipstick tube isn't supported at the top like the disco one which means the tube can over time give a false high reading as it slips into the engine. If so undo fitting on block pull up and tighten a new olive is also a good idea.

Easy as buy a gas bottle, regulator and a piece of rubber pipe

£50 digital speedo with a reed switch stick a magnet on a hub/wheel/prop shaft etc set it up and this argument is complete bollocks Or if you really must one for a fiver off a bicycle will do!

No I should have been clearer, I think a previous owner just wired both into the same switch because they wanted the space the rear washer switch sits in for toggle switches or broke the switch and found out how much they cost

Mine has twin pumps and both run off the same positive

For the bigger stuff ie gate and axle get yourself a stick welder for thinner stuff a mig. Got a Clarke mig myself and as said the wire feed is a pain in the arse but after loooots of messing I got it sorted also fitted a fan out of a sun bed into the case next to the transformer to extend the...

Because?

Disagree! 101 was tried and no response gained, the vehicle may have been used in another crime the importance/severity/degree of violence etc of which we have no way of knowing

Just ring 999

When you've gone that far why not the bonnet, roof and some matching hub caps?

Don't reckon you'd notice it that much if it was painted the same colour though.

You are always going to get a mix of threads as they have different properties but some mixes are stranger than others

Re the centre cap how big is the hole and the depth?

That's the problem with ally though, as soon as you take it back to a clean surface it has already oxidised, that's what flux is for

Nah laminated glass will crack but stay in one piece as it's layers stuck together toughened will go into small pieces as a result of the heating process
