    T-Max wireless remote conversion?

    The plug and socket on my T-Max 12500lb winch are getting corroded, so I'm thinking should I replace with new replacement parts or splash out and fit a wireless remote control arrangement? Any advice on wireless remote systems that are available will be gratefully received.... Timpo.

    What are the brexit implications for overlanding in Europe?

    We will not be made prisoners in our own country.... ;-) In fact, I think it will make it easier to travel to EU and non-EU states (which we will then be). UK insurance suppliers at present loath to use the green card scheme, that will have to change unless they have a better idea. Having a...

    Certificate of Conformity.....help !

    Where did you get the chassis from? If this chassis has been used before, then it will have an index already. Also, the vehicle can be dated from the chassis number if it has been used outside of UK already.

I am struggling to find the TF229 as i am told there is a supply issue with the long shocks. The alternative is the Britpart yellow spring/Supergaz shock kit part no# DA5007 at...

    Defender Headlight woes

    Has the truck had high powered headlamp bulbs fitted? If so, check the rivets that feed the stalk to give the hi/lo switching of dip and main beam. The higher load of high wattage lamp bulbs (eg 100w) burns the plastic around where the rivets join the cabling and switch contacts on the stalk...
