I can beat that Very Happy I changed 17 bulbs today Very Happy Admittedly, none of them were on the Defender, they were all on trucks with very easy access Whistle


Its much easier on a Defender than on the lorries I drive, they all need the cab tilting up just to change a head or sidelight bulb...utterly stupid design.

Oh tell me about it! Some trucks have great access, some on the other hand must have been designed by somebody who has clearly never had to change a bulb! Evil or Very Mad We look after mainly petrol tanks, and because everything electrical has to be petroleum regulated, it's even harder to change bulbs in certain places Rolling Eyes An engine to TDi for!

Attaching the connection at the wing was a bit of sod (getting the fixings to all line up) but otherwise was quite straightforward Thumbs Up Darren

It's the polyurethene version of their traditional type - the same as fitted to the G4 vehicles. Darren

That sounds like the one I'd like - I couldn't see it on their website last time I looked, I'll check again. Cheers Thumbs Up John

HERE YOU GO. The specific model is 116-RAIDEF, which says for 300tdi and TD5. It's a complete external fitment though, so can't see why it wouldn't fit a Puma. Darren

I've spent today replacing my hub bearings! All the bearings fell out and one welded itself to the stub so had to file n sand it down! All sorted now though. Broke a brake pipe too while doing hub so had to make a new pipe n bleed brakes. Next on the list is to empty the mud out of the heater and fix the broken bonnet pull and replace both rear shocks. Getting there with fixing it for the Peak District laning hopefully with greeni 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold)
