Can't answer that directly, though if you came to make a claim and they found out you'd done more than 5k doubt they'd pay up. We used Campbell Irvine for our expedition also from various recommendations. Campbell Irvine Good Luck Jonnie

Hi Grff, was just answering this guy's same questions on the Defender 90/110/130 forum.... Covering all bases! J

I'm afraid they don't come cheap. Ours was £400 from Simon at MPS. You might pick up a second hand one on e-bay for slightly less, or a National Luna, but for a serious trip like yours don't even touch the cheap ones (they wont keep your food cold and consume all your battery power). As far as...

Hi Jack. Looks like a great trip and a fine vehicle. We spent 6 months in and around W Africa last year and would have been very uncomfortable without a fridge. We have an Engel which was great (make sure you've 2 batteries though + isolating switch or relay). You won't need a freezer, but...

Don't do it Woods! These are exactly the tents I was talking about earlier on this thread. They are very cheaply made. Everyone I know who has bought one of these has got rid of it soon after. Spend a bit more and have yourself something strong like yer Landy!

OK, Thanks all. looks like I need to test the plugs and relay. It's an under the bonnet job, so will leave it for now - blowing a gale here now! Cheers

Thanks Sean - I'm in Bristol and it really hasn't been all that cold down here yet - God knows what will happen in Jan! What is the GP timer light? Hi Discomania! Where is the cold start relay situated? Can't find it on the circuit diagram (Haynes manual) - got all the books out! Jon

Hi Bob We returned from a 6 month trip around W Africa earlier this year - spending almost a month in Morocco. I was going to buy a cheap roof tent from e-bay, but my partner insisted we get a decent one. She made the right decision! We bought a 1.4m My Way Evolution for just under a grand, and...

Handbook says: On Diesel models the amber warning light will go on when the starter key is turned to the heater plugs 'on' position. The light will go out as soon as the engine is started. If the light remains on with the engine running there is a fault that should be investigated...

exactly! But the light on the dash has got a bulb in it which has taken to coming on randomly! In the little green handbook, Land Rover calls it the 'Cold Start Warning Light'. But it's got the choke symbol on it......wierd!

Recently, I've noticed the choke light coming on whilst driving. It's a 110 CSW 200tdi. It usually happens as I'm pulling away with low revs. As soon as the revs build up, it goes out. The engine sounds perfectly normal and there's no less power than usual. Any ideas gratefully received! Thanks...

Hi Neil We've just returned from a 6 month trip around W Africa in a 110 CSW - Met up with Griff in Morocco too, but that's another story.... We also did everything on a budget, and I reckon our storage solution was pretty darn good. Well, it worked for us, and the only things not immediately...
