Also I have my Haynes, Land Rover Toolbox on YouTube and Landyzone. And between them so far I've managed to change all belts, change...

    Cab heater for defender 90

    I've got a heated windscreen in my 110 and it's awesome! Got the insurance to cover it when i cracked mine. They took some convincing though. I've got an inverter 300w pure sine so I'm contemplating getting some 2ft 40w tubular greenhouse heaters. Any thoughts?

    Indicators turn on as hazards randomly

    Might sound funny but check for water in your relays. I found water in my washer relay kept fusing my indicators and it was after a little driving when the tiny bit of water in the relay sloshed around over the resisters etc. Occasionally now my left signal flashes really fast but when I fiddle...
