What I wanted to do was head off at the pass various emails ending up in the USA asking about these parts and mentioning Mobile Centre etc.

We want customers to be happy and offer the best level of service we can, the best bet IF you have a problem is contact me just as K9F did and we will do our best to resolve the situation via whatever means we have available.


Good advice! Unfortunately it was me that opened the stable door and let that horse bolt ages ago! It goes without saying and without wishing to blow too much sunshine up Tim's crimper the goods and service he supplies is excellent. I could always cash in and stick my spare lens up for sale at about £200 by my reckoning.
Needless to say knowing my luck the day after it's sold I'd experience another breakage so I daren't.

Switzerland 2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SVX Station Wagon Santorini Black
A bit off topic but not entirely.... Next week my just arrived Speaker 8700s will be installed, replacing my standard H4 main headlamps on my SVX. Those are wired now directly via the switch I know, which understand is far from ideal for the risk of the switch overheating, power loss/sub-optimal light output, etc....... This has been covered many times here.

My question is if it would be a good idea to ask my dealer when he will change the H4s for the LEDs to also rewire them via a relay? I don't think with the 2.5 instead of 4.5 Amps consumption per headlamp there will be much risk for the switch to overheat in the future, but would getting the power directly from the battery as opposed to via the switch mean that the new LEDs will also give more light as would be the case with halogens?
Or with LEDs which seem to function on anything between 12 and 24V maybe it makes no difference?
Let me know pls. Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

There will be no difference to light output using relays with the LEDs, the lower current draw will reduce load on the switch so I would leave as standard Thumbs Up

Off Topic Paddocks are the most reasonable I believe..... but they don't do colour coding unless you have Java, Brunel or Zambezi.....Thumbs Up
