Bought and fitted a new headlight switch because they wouldn't work last night then as they still wouldn't work I found the loose connection that just needed pushing back in maybe I should look before buying parts

Completed the lights height correcting today as per above I only did the Speakers low beam two weeks ago. Today I also corrected the level of one of the aux high beam halogen lights which had been pointing a bit too high. Again, did it the simple way, park the truck on level ground in front of a wall and check if both the beams of the aux lights are the same, if not as was the case here, it just takes a screwdriver to correct the aux lamps up or down.

You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

Trailer lighting issues today, notice the lights going nutty today.
Defender it's self is fine but trailer attached it goes odd. Although fiddled about and it worked fine once I abandoned my trip tonight to get stuff. My guess is poor contact, shall have to clean the plug up Defender side and check the rear fot corrosion. Both are high in my suspicion as suspects. |

Big update for me
Monday fitted led fog lights and wired them to landrover aux 2 switch, also fitted and wired up a 44" led lightbar to the roof and fitted a led work light for my winch yesterday i removed the genuine side steps as they resembled swiss cheese, then set about removing the std sills ( not fun) as they havent being touched in 10 years. after adding to the swear jar countless times. Once this was done i fitted some tree sliders Today i fitted a new xs cubby box from matt, and discovered td5's have a larger cubby box than pumas, also i fitted a galv transmission guard, extended the fuel tank breather 2004 TD5 Defender 90 xs station wagon |

Fitted a relay to the lights. (although my existing lights had 14v across them so doubt I'll see a light upgrade but at least the switch may not burn out)
Did a few more of the SS bolts Replaced the Screen hinge gasket to cure a leak |
