Also, now I remember -- I pulled into Shell on the way home, and stopped at a station with obvious truck icons plastered on it. The nozzle was wider than those I'd normally use, but still fit the, well, truck. And it filled a half empty tank *really* quickly.

Did I just find my first fast-delivery pump with wider nozzles for trucks? 2009 110 XS Station Wagon

Brian, when I look at these two pictures of the rear of your (very nice) truck, it seems that in the process of fitting the landyglass, you have lost the center brake lamp...
If I see that correct, are you planning to replace that by another one, possibly a LED center brake lamp? If you do, would like to hear/see details about that.

Repaired my rear off side indicator....yet again.......I wonder how long it will last thing time....lol. Rolling with laughter The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

Sorry to 'Butt' in Eric, but from the photos posted by LG on FaceBook, I believe there's still one fitted, but a slimmer one- perhaps LED? An engine to TDi for!

R.E. The third brake light, there are plenty of options for that. Some internal slimline in LED some external even that are flush mounted.
(No for mounting into glass though obviously)

Eric, the rear screen came with a led brake light already bonded in place. And it is a lot smaller than the OEM one,

2001 Defender 90 Td5 CSW Epsom Green
Poor old things been laid up all day. As the Mercedes does motorway in complete comfort at 50 mpg. The disco 4 did that comfort part but not the efficiency. Now have the 4x4 and the comfy cruiser... Light day tomorrow so tempted to take the Td5
Cool 2001 Td5 CSW (weekend and snow mobile) Plenty of lights, M/T tyres EGR delete, roofrack, swing away wheel carrier, snorkel.
