Thanks, hoping its a cable, will have a look at threads on rest of pointers, tho after 20 years of marriage I have a workaround for siezed flaps ;)

Sorry to revive an old thread, but was wondering, hiven I have a read heasted screen can I not wire a new heated front screen to the existing rear screen heating switch and have them both on the same switch? I cannot right now think of why I would need them to be independent?

Thanks for this, I shall have a look for this on mine, as winter is just around corner!

on a serious note, with a 300 tdi, when driving through a hot spain this summer, all I could get was warm air on cold... driving back through france in September at night with heater on full heat, most I got was a faint dechilling... and a smell of wet dog... so any hint of a solution to this...

hahahah... I find you can double the average heat output by putting an small espresso on the intake ;)

I agree re electronics that can go wrong and cost a fortune, but a tracker gives piece of mind and is pretty simple. There are loads of places to hide a tracker without carpets or lining that can get good signal - within seats, dashboard, lights, vents, bumpers, spare tyres, accessories, etc...

hahaha

Mine came with an OBD2 port somone had installed and so I put put a v-auto Vodafone tracker plugged into that, and another one hidden elsewhere, so she now has two trackers. If you do not want to get a commercial one, get one from ebay but make sure its 3G / WCDMA at least (2G has been...

this may help in meantime, you could use a hairband or other if you want a less conspicuous colour than leggy band brown ;) but holding that up fixed it fie me. did need to keep key in unlock while opening catch tho

Have bought a 1 DIN brand new pioneer stereo to replace the clarion with casette plus cd changer under driver seat aftermarket (circa 2005???) setup ... any adpators / looms, two cups and a string, etc I will need to be getting from experience out there?

From what I have seen, the tornado / freestyle wheels have a 30mm offset... I would have assumed I needed the spacers where it not for the fact that 265 comes up as a standard option on tyre websites???

I have just worked out from reading this forum that the weird alloy bits on my hubs are spacers... I have what looks mostly stock 110 300 tdi CSW from ‘96; would the Tornado alloys have been standard (they seem an option in brochure but read somewhere else they were 90 only??!) and do I need...

My view would be to put the carbuildersolutions unit in the heaterbox and rip out the heater matrix in heaterbox... the old matrix may even make a condenser with right fan?

Sorry to reopen an old thread, but a) have spent 4000+ miles at 30C to 40C and surprised some of my personal bits did not fall off... and b) driven in moderate rain and even with heated front and rears miss things like, you know, being able to see out of the sides, c) whether £1500 or £3000 the...

1000 miles and nearly 24 hours later elastic band bodge still in place! thanks for everyone’s help, spring will be replaced properly shortly. Did try and secure bands under one of those screws but could not make them budge with the screwdrivers available!

thanks, yes the keeper is slowly falling down either trying door or with vehicle moving - will use elastic band or something to keep in place (up) while travelling until I can fix properly, thanks!

Thanks, have ordered that, is there a fix from inside / other in meantime that arrives and is fitted? was thinking of a piece of metal behind that phyisically stops latch going up? Have to go through France and Calais port later this week with a fully loaded defender so it’s find a solution or...

Have seen this: https://www.lrparts.net/da9018-billet-transfer-case-sump-with-cooling-fins-by-roamerdrive-fits-defender-discovery-and-range-rover-classic-diesels.html which also says you can fit an oil temp gauge, something I have been thinking would be better in the 300tdi instrument dash than...

thanks, will do thinner oil when back and do another service, any recomendadtions? will google coolwe sump plate now ;)

anyone have any experience on which “silver backed foam” works best? just done 3000 miles in southern Europe, and when it was 45°C outside has to keep leg off of handbrake as it was “f. that’s hot temp” and water in cubby box was somewhere between fresh hot steamy pee and cuppa soup temperature...
