As nice as this product may be I would never order from them. For the simple fact they won't ship to BFPO address'. To cut off all serving military overseas is daft. They must have their reasons but as a veteran myself I will support my fellow wearers of uniform by boycotting this firm. Not a big issue for them to lose 1 potential customer but it's not about money for me it's about principles.
There are other companys who sell the same goods they do and will ship to all customers around the world.

FYI. To ship to any BFPO address anywhere in the world is the same price as shipping it first class within the UK. Unless it's going to Afghan, where for pers packages it's free if under 2KG 110 D250 SE HT

You can fit a separate, adjustable relay just for the trailer. Combined with an adjustable LED flasher relay, this will allow any combination of LEDs /Bulbs, and allow the correct dash indication

2013 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Corris Grey

How have other people found the flash rate with this relay? I started off with the mobile centre one but it flashed far to fast. Bolt on bits one arrived today, installed and set up as per instructions, but the indicators do seem to flash rather fast. I'm getting approx. 100 flashes per minute. Whilst this is within the range come MOT time, it does seem a lot faster than most other vehicles. Any ideas welcomed!

Wonder if it's slightly variable dependant on vehicle?

It's possibly related to component tolerances inside the relay. It would be interesting if 2 different owners could swap relays to test.
I plan to purchase one of these in the next few months (along with LED indicators), so I'll see if it's possible to make a modification to the circuit components to change the flash rate.
I've know idea what the circuit looks like at the moment, but will investigate once I have one in my hands. http://defender90xs.blogspot.co.uk/

If you know your electronics well unlike many of us (myself included) pictures would be good if you can.

I have a wipac one. On its own the flash rate is the same as standard, with a trailer attached it speeds up. I assume this is the prevent the electronics in the relay getting too hot? 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 USW Corris Grey

I tried a Mobilecentre one in my previous Puma which had a set of RDX LED's but the flash rate was only just within the 60 FPM rate plus the trailer tell tale was on all the time so I went back to the RDX with its slightly quicker flash and adjustable tell tale. All now transferred to the new motor. Steve.
