    What have you done on your 90/110/130 today?

    Thought about fixing tow bar electrics, but then it rained. Who ever fitted them used those cheap crap squeeze on blue connectors. I'm going to solder the wires together and use heat shrink sleaving. So all I did to the 110 today was remove a model railway that was at a show yesterday.

    Having blown the 40amp fuse in a split charge relay unit I'd agree with a flat battery taking more than 40A given the opportunity.. . One of my DMMs has has 6.5 digit resolution and is accurate to +-28ppm is that enough? :)

    The most miles out of one tank.

    Since the fuel tank is about 17.5 gallons and I get 32mpg from the disco transfer boxed 110. I think that means I could get 560 miles from a tank full. But I never run it below a quarter so I've not measured it.

    How "fast" is your defender?

    Mine will go a little faster than most due to a disco transfer box, it just takes a long time to get there .It will cruise at 70mph, but I won't drive faster because the tanker for in flight refuelling that I'd need running alongside, wouldnt be able to keep up. .

    living with the 5th gear higher ratio

    Ive a 200tdi with a disco transfer box I seriously doubt you'd need a raised 5th gear as well. With 235/85 R16 and the disco box you don't normally get into 5th until 40mph anyway..
