Any chance you could give me dimensions or copy the bracket that holds the diagnostic plug to transmission tunnel I have been struggling to find this on Microcat for my build. Would be very much appreciated.

Jury’s out on the Reverse & Oblong Fogs as I can’t find a LED version


Just a thought, but i have these on mine. They are square rather than oblong but are similar to the original. No major changes to mounted either. They do both fog and reverse and are much brighter than the original candles Mr. Green

LS3 in a 50th?.....awesome combination.
Cheers, Pickles.


Hmmm, sorry but I think it is a shame to change over to a LS. A good Rover v8 setup gives you as much performance on the road and a big grin. The LS is for bragging in the pub Laughing Just IMO...
And keep the standard exhaust. The 50th is all about comfy and quick travel in Defender style and not about an exhaust which drives you nuts after 15minutes.

285's (if you're keeping them on it) and the 1.2 transfer box will kill the gearing... from what I read (and driven an old classic V8 manual 90 with 1.2 box) it was gutless.

Still, it's very nice looking... Cool Cool

Did the Naka wheel carrier need modding at all to fit with the NAS step ?
