    Defender twin battery securing

    Am looking to add a second battery to my defender incorporating a split charge system,watched a YouTube video showing Flatdog clamp but bit surprised couldn't refit battery box cover unless Optima batteries were used. Is this the norm or does anyone know of an alternative clamping system?

    Steering Damper

    Have bought an old man emu steering Damper for my defender 90,having trouble getting the pivot end into the drop arm. It looks like it has been pinched together when old one fitted.old one comes out ok but new one won't fit. Not sure how much force I can use to widen it.

    Ex mod defender reversing light

    Hi Sp00k The plug is definitely 20mm diameter. My next question is am I looking in the right place to fit it. Looking from the passenger side down between the seats with the floor plate removed it's at the bottom left corner. Will take a pic might be easier.

    Ex mod defender reversing light

    Hi there I am trying to fit a reversing light switch into my landy,and where the switch is supposed to screw in there is just a 20mm plug. Do I need some kind of reducer or with it being ex MOD is it not possible to do? Many thanks
