    Are Puma seats better than TD5 ones?

    Interior Courtesy Light

    Did something similar to my 110 upgraded the lights to the newer type ones and removed the dash switch, if you haven't removed any of the plugs they run into a switch on the dash by your right knee so will also have a black slate (I think) wire with them as well .

    Interior Courtesy Light

    On my 200tdi they are purple which is the live and purple/blue which is the switched earth this goes to the door switches and at the light itself you will also a black wire which is earth, don't know if they differ on newer defenders . cheers Ian

    What would you do with these sills / c-posts?

    Personally I'd fit some new galv rails from yrm , I know the box is ok but can't see the point in galving the bulkhead and b post the putting them on a bit of old box . If at some point that box rots do you really want to be chopping it all up when it's all sorted plus it will be easier to fit...

    You can move the hand brake to the top of the seat box and fit a disco one I've done it with mine as I'm tall didn't like reaching down all the while. I'm at work at moment but think I've still got the thread on my computer at home can post it up for you later if you'd like? cheers Ian
