Tried the crocodile clips idea, Bobsticle, but just couldn't concentrate on the welding. :eek:

We found a very large hole in the chassis, so it looks like my newly re-found welding capabilities will be put to use. I think I have attached a photo of the offending hole, but if it's not there, I'll try again.

Hi all, I have become interested in Land Rovers recently and was looking for a Defender. I did some research, went to look at some, and ended up accidentally buying a discover 3. I am really enjoying it, but still have a yearning for a Defender. In the process, my son has also become...
