    Happy Heater thread

    I hope you all roast in hell. :eek:. If my defender ever gets out of the garage, the very first job for me is a new heater matrix. I've frozen my toes off for two many years nowo_O

    New Project Arrives

    I have had mine painted and the finnish is good. I also have the more expensive double skin model which should prove to be much stronger, and will flex less than the single skin version. The quality of the gellcoat was so good that I did consider fitting it without painting. The gellcoat was...

    TD5 "limp mode" and enginelight mystery : What to do?

    I had the same issue with one of those Jap vehicles, which I bought in error:mad:.
