    D90 Rear Light Cluster Question

    Hi All, after some time abroad, now getting round to fitting NAS LED lights to the rear of my 1996 300TDi. They're a mix of new and second-hand lights but all residing in new, standard height, plinths. The issue I have is that the two reversing lights (Le Perei) have a long extended inner rear...

    Vehicle Tracking: A Beginners Guide

    That's a big point in this whole debate. The high-end units have a supplementary transmitter to assist in the locating of the vehicle, if within close range and other anti-defeat options. For most of us, we make do with a unit that can be 'blanked' from mobile and GPS signals, etc, but I...

    Rear Inner Arch Mud Slinger

    Thanks for that and should be easy enough to source; out of interest, where did you buy it and is there any particular type, etc?

    Rear Inner Arch Mud Slinger

    I'm looking to put some sort of rear inner arch protection on my D90 to help deflect mud and water from the multitude of orifices, traps and shelves that make up the chassis and tub. Experiments with heat-formed acrylic have had mixed results, so anyone experience of commercial systems (Lokari...

    LED Headlights

    Love it when someone finds a bargain! For £90, why not take a punt because Inspector Knacker has zero interest, knowledge or notion to check anything like the back of a headlight and ditto for MoT guys, just so long as the beam is the correct profile and spread, etc. For £500, I'd certainly...

    Landy Security Advice please?!

    Some great advice both above and in the other posts. I would just echo the point above that the locks are the weak link; without going in to detail, there is very cheap kit out there (and I mean cheap!) and, even in the hands of the unskilled, will 'probably' defeat what's out there for us...

    6-Wheel Drive Discovery II - Am I totally mad ?

    I confess to having had to resort to Google in order to "seek a little clarification" on some of the terminology, but then I find I have to do that to decode some of Lord Hippo's ramblings...@Hippo;):eek:

    May I introduce RollsRoyce, the new family 1982 RRC

    Looks amazing! Health to enjoy, my friend! If you ever get to drive it to Ireland, I'd love to meet up!!!

    6-Wheel Drive Discovery II - Am I totally mad ?

    That thing you describe is something totally alien to pre-1998 Defenders in particular; that said, I'm actually using one of them there beasts disguised as a Raspberry Pi to monitor temps et al. Watch this space!

    6-Wheel Drive Discovery II - Am I totally mad ?

    Jeez, @dieseldog69 you've just let down probably most of the forum members here.... For your info, FPGA is the Fuel Pressure Gate Attentuator; this works in a very harmonious way with the HDL, the High Dash Light and the resident flux capacitor. Now you know.. :)

    D90 eBay Ad - Suspicious?

    Just spotted this ad and, although I'm not in the market to buy another Defender, this TD5 looks great, but I'm a tad suspicious for some reason. Cynical or what! eBay Post
