Just read through this whole thread - really great work - love the colour of the engine, and the raptor on the underside - something to think about me thinks! Can't wait for the next update!

Thank you - this was the reply i needed - Ugh same adage - buy once, cry once! I will get some of them. PS - That defender looks awesome! Thanks to the other replies about stick on - I am sure it is strong, but I really did not want that , I was sure it would last well, but I like the neat clean...

Hi all, I have wanted some wind deflectors for some time, and picked up some Terrafirma ones for the defender. I am somewhat disappointed to see that they... stick on the outside of the door panel!? I was hoping for some that fitted into the window and were seamless. Save me wasting any more...

haha I know right! I really didnt want a green one, and I know I can just retrofit a leather interior... but hey! beggars cant be choosers. There was a lovely black one on for £7k - I dithered too much. Problem is... of course you never know what is hiding! Insurance was £166 on it fully com...

Thanks all for the replies - some very interesting reading for sure. I was curious as to what was wrong with the soft dashes as well! I will keep my eye out - so hard to put aside a days traveling to see something that could be a complete rot box - but needs must ! I will keep my eye out This...

Hi all, I have a defender TDCi which is awesome, but I kinda have the bug now. With interest rates at rock bottom, I thought it might be worth 'investing' (LoL) in RRC - at least I can enjoy it! Anyway, that aside, my research seems to indicate that they are even bigger rot boxes than...

Ah good! Yeah I will, and I also have a small fuse box for the other things I plan to hook up as well! All of which I can sort on my return! I am Maidstone way, so not a million miles from you. :)

Thank you all - It might have taken me 5 hours, but it is connected and works (and the car has not caught fire!) The only thing I have not done is put the 100 amp fuses I have in place as per the first picture. The Tmaxx one doesn't show any ... so I think I should be ok (unless you tell me...

Thank you - I am going to try an tackle it tomorrow - hopefully all the bits will have arrived... fingers crossed!

Thank you so much - that looks really helpful! I saw one that recommended 100A fuses which I have got - will they be too weak and blow?

Hi there, I had my defender booked in to have a leisure battery installed with a split charge set up. I have purchased most of the bits, battery, T-maxx controller, but have been MASSIVELY let down by someone who was supposed to make the battery tray, and this has meant that the electrics guy...

Looking very good - and toasty and warm!

Potentially silly question, but I am going to be fitting a leisure battery to the defender on a split charge. It will be for running a Weco fridge and charging phones / running LED lights etc. Could i Get some advice on capacity and physical size - I want to fit it under the passenger seat with...

That is useful to know! I have done a change with no reference at all to said handbook! :(

Have you checked the basics? Fuses & relays? I would also want to check all key connectors and that they have not come loose. I had one that just worked its way loose over time. Blew the dust out and connected it - all fine :) I am no expert but that would be a good starting point. Also this...

Hi all, I have had a good read of the threads here regarding insulation and ply lining. From that I feel the best way forward would be to insulate the rear arches, windows and roof. I still don't seem to have a consensus on what to do to firm up the base of the rear. Would it be worth just...

and on one switch :) haha

That is supremely helpful, thank you! Interesting Bearmach only seem to have 40a ones - But i will get a 30a one as recommended! If i don't make a hash of it I will put some pics up to help other members out in the future :)

That is very helpful, thanks - (embarrassingly) Could you let me know what kind of relay and which wire goes where. I have used a relay before, but just followed instructions. I know i can get cheaper switches, that can look nice, but I like the OEM look. Thanks for your help :)

Hi all - I picked up some headed mirrors from MUDstuff and new mirrors secondhand/new. However it has not got the wiring harness. I have done some research on how to fit the mirrors neatly, but would someone be kind enough to make an idiot proof guide to making the wiring for the mirrors. On a...
