    Recovery snatch .. 110 td5 ?

    Use some proper off road recovery points, the small round eye is for on road towing and not upto the stresses a snatch recovery exerts. Also use a snatch rope for snatching as it has some stretch in it and uses stored kinetic energy to move the vehicle. A none kinetic strop is brutal for snatching.

    Disco 4 (LR4) Bluetooth Pairing Issue

    I think the D4 can only store 4 pairings, if you haven’t already, you may need to delete the previous stored pairings then try to pair.

    HELP- Defender 90 performance break discs and pads

    If you’ve fitted bigger than 16” wheels there are bigger brake upgrades available, which give much better stopping power

    Defender Temperature Gauge

    I don’t know if it’s right or wrong, I prefer mine to run a little cooler as it’s only really used off road So not much air flow through the rad. I’ve fitted a switchable electric fan to help things cool.

    My 200tdi reaches about 82’c then the thermostat opens, which equates to 3/4 of the white band

    Rib launch with Puma

    I think the puma engine defenders have traction control so wheel spin shouldn’t be an issue if fitted.
