I am looking to wire up an auxillary fuse box to a second battery. Should I install a circuit breaker from each of the battery terminals to the fuse box? If so, what amp rating? 30amp? I currently have one battery which is physically quite big and I don§t think I could fit a second one in...

Has anyone here fitted air suspension to their Defender? I am intrigued more than anything else and wanted to know your experience. I don´t think I will be fitting them as they are probably worth more than the whole Defender :)

If you are happy to share your route that would be very kind. I have been looking at ferries from Genoa to Tangiers Med to save me the drive through France and Spain and it seems like a good option. I live in Slovakia so I would be going from there.

Did you go solo? Or did you go as part of an organised group. I have been considering booking a space on one if the Ardent Ardent 4x4 tours but am a little hesitant as it costs 2000gbp with not very much included. I am researching whether to go alone with just me and my brother taking two cars...

I will definitely try that...

Mine has a rear tank (td5) but I'm not very confident reworking the seat box.

I am thinking of doing a mini overland expedition to Morocco in the autumn so have been thinking. I am quite tall (1.87m) and the seating position in my 90 isn't the most comfortable. I don't particularly mind but this could be more of an issue whilst overlanding. I have removed the rear...

This is what it is like currently

Does anyone have a suggestion what to bolt up first? Roo to windscreen, sidepanels, bulkhead? I have my bulkhead tightened with a ratchet strap on one side. I don't think the bracket attached to the footwell alone will keep it in this position.

Perfect mate! Really appreciate it! I've just sent the whole evening loosening everything up...roof, side panels, bulkhead, doors. I seem to have it lined up nicely. The right hand side has wider gaps than the left on mine. Must be a tolerance. For a moment I thought the chassis may have warped...

I saw those and they have helped a lot but I could only find ones where he does a 90. Unfortunately he doesn't mention the gap for the second row doors.

I will give them a call on monday. I have a dash console sitting around which I intended on putting in my 300tdi but that project is taking much longer than anticipated. For one, my lower dash/heater duct on that is completely rotted out so I will need to get it repaired before I can start...

Hi, please could someone measure the distance between the tub and the door pillar/b-pillar? Perpendicular to the b-pillar. Effectively you would be measuring from near the hinge to the tub.Not the bit on which the rubber sits. Also, is this distance the same as from the top of the b-pillar to...

Do you still have this? I have bought but not yet got an identical P38. I don´t know which parts I will need but definitely the front bumper and more likely a lot of other bits.

Hi, I am looking to get a dash console from raptor engineering and they apparently only fit pre TD5 vehicles. I swear my 2000 TD5 defender has an absolutely identical dashboard to my 1998 300tdi. When I google "Defender TD5 dash" some look quite different to what I have. Am I missing something...

I saw his videos but I could only find a 90 truck cab. Still very helpful. I didn´t know you could tip the bulkhead for example so will need to try that as well.

Does anyone know where I can find dimensions between a-pillar and b-pillar as well as b-pillar and c-pillar/tub?

I've spent the best part of this afternoon trying to align my doors and various body panels (110 station wagon). I have got them ok-ish but not perfect. I then realised it is possible to alter the bulkhead using spacers/washers. There were two on each side, which i thought was correct. Now there...

Get some sound deadener as well. I have use silent coat and its good. There is dynamat and various other brands as well

sorry....186 pounds for just the heater control...OMG!
