    New Door locks! Grrrr!

    What Paddy said; just spent a few days trying to figure out what was wrong with me dooras locks after being locked out of the drivers door. Don't lock by pushing the external button and pushing down the internal latch. This causes problems when trying to unlock with the key. No idea why, but...

    defender door adjustment

    The hinges only really adjust the doors position within the frame. But moving it around does help with closing. Or you could remove the foam and adjust the door to close the gap without it. It may be that the door tops need bending back like mine do.

    If you had a choice

    Epsom Green is my fav. But there are some nice Blue Land Rover colours around.

    Leisure Battery

    Lesuire batterys are for extended draw applications such as caravans where they aren't always under charge. With the small number of items you noted which will be fairly small might not be worth the bother. But on the other hand the lesuire battery is a better option for longevity. Car...

    OK will do. Thanks. Shouldn't be, SU's are renowned for being good on inclines - and if it were it still wouldn't explain the high rpm splutters in 3rd, 4th and 5th?!?! This is frustrating!

    New seals required -all round Advice Please

    Yeah I found out how expensive they were recently, that's why I opted from some Britpart ones! But its easy to notice the difference between the two. But as you say going from No seals to new britpart seals will be a huge improvement.
