    Quick wiring query.

    Afternoon all. The nice weather today has inspired me to get out and do some bits on the 90. I'm in the middle of fitting driving lights as I'm sick of not seeing at night. Especially now as its practically dark all the time. Anyway: I've wired in everything bar where you splice into the...

    Recommend a garage, Liverpool?

    You could try Lr centre in hunts cross. Landy specialists and good at what they do. Can be a tad on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for I suppose.

    Arc/stick welding Merseyside.

    Hi all. As most people on here my chassis has developed a few new holes recently. I can't weld but I have been given 2 arc welders by a friends dad. Just wondering if there is anyone local to Liverpool who knows what they are doing and could show me the ropes, for beer tokens ofcourse, rather...

    Does this mean its broken?

    Nope, don't have any of that in it. It's coming out behind where the wheel attaches if that helps.

    Defender insurance at 17???

    Try lancaster. I'm 21 and it's only £250 a year fully comp. I think they are trying to get the land rover market as the companies that previously supplied most people are putting their prices up. Good luck.

    old defender advice

    If you are looking for a fun and practical family 4x4 that is as capable as a defender but a little less rough have you considered a jeep wrangler? Especially great in the summer with the roof and doors off. Much better with a family in my opinion, good seats all round but the rear ones are...

    Headlight problem on High beam

    I had this problem but in reverse. High beam worked fine but driver side Main didn't work. Turned out it was a fuse, last thing I checked too after stripping down the wing to check all wiring and earths.

    Earth location for drivers side headlight.

    Thanks for the responses. I did all those things. Checked and replaced all fuses just previous to the problem occuring, hadnt driven at night for a while so didnt notice the problem straight away. Swapped light with other side, problem stayed. Cleaned earth, removed push on connectors and...

    Earth location for drivers side headlight.

    Altnatively, how would I wire in an extra earth? Do I just run it from a terminal on the bulb (which one?) to a screw somewhere? Cheers

    Earth location for drivers side headlight.

    Where is the earth for the drivers side headlight? I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find anything. Headlight works on full beam but not on regular beam. Seems it will be an earth fault unless tree are any other ideas. Gt the wing in bit and it's driving me nuts, can't seem to find it. A...

    Attempted theft in Widnes last night, protection?

    The first time mine was stolen they pulled out the rubber around the small rear windows and reached in to open the rear door. To prevent that I've got grills on the rear windows and a dog guard so they can't get through to the front. No broken glass or damage other than the ignition barrel...

    Attempted theft in Widnes last night, protection?

    No such luck I'm afraid. Waited up all night, not a single person around. I was really looking forward to catching them and not having to worry as much in future. Fingers crossed that's the end and they have given up, will be doing everything mentioned in this post. Has anyone tried fitting...

    Attempted theft in Widnes last night, protection?

    I like the fuse idea. I know it's easy for them to carry some spare fuses but doubt they will be that organised. Which fuses are best to pull? I'll eventually figure out a way to lock the fuse box cover so they can't get to it to replace/bypass them. Once I pick up my welder I'll also be making...

    Attempted theft in Widnes last night, protection?

    Can't really remove the battery as I have fitted seats without a removable base so it's a bit of a pain (I will do it tonight but not practical long term), and I'd give anything to have a garage. I'll be walking to my nearest halfords now and hoping they sell a disklock, hopefully a clutch claw...

    Attempted theft in Widnes last night, protection?

    Hi guys. I know this isn't the place for a stolen post but I need a quick answer. Someone tried to pinch my 90 last night, cut through the steering wheel and removed the wheel lock but must have been scared away just before they got it going. What can I do before tonight that will make it...

    Attempted theft in Widnes.

    Came out this morning to find the steering wheel lock removed and the steering wheel cut through. Don't know why they gave up after doing all the hard work but I'm guessing they will be back soon, or go after someone else's. Watch out around the WA8 area.

    Headlight issue

    Just added a set of halogen headlights to my 90, only problem is one doesn't always come on with the other. It always comes on with full beam, but it is just a dim orange glow when on normally. The other headlight is fine and the faulty one works sometimes. Any ideas? Thanks guys

    Anyone wanting to swap 90 sides with windows for van sides?

    Not sure if I can post this here, but I'm sure someone will be along to sort me out if not. Looking for sides for my 90 with sliding windows in in return for van sides or cash Thanks Ben
