United Kingdom 1998 Defender 110 300 Tdi SW Bronze Green
Squirted some Dinitrol 3125 in various places. Then went and washed the caravan.

Whilst maneuvering around I found that the low range/diff lock lever fouled the Ashcrofts centre console slightly, meaning it wouldn't stay in low range. Half an hour of fettling rotated the lever a couple of splines back on the shaft. Sorted. Didn't even have to remove the centre console Thumbs Up

The new automatic transmission is absolutely lovely, and over the last few days I've been fettling the settings in the Compushift controller. The standard Ashcrofts settings are pretty good as they stand so I've just set the kick-down to be less sensitive and the torque converter unlock to need rather more right pedal. The standard settings meant it was locking and unlocking at cruising speed rather than using the torque of my remapped and VNT turbo'd Td5. Dave Ashcroft has been great at advising me what to mess about with to get it just about perfect. Dave

Maybe, I'm not quite sure in that one.
Could be worth asking Dan @ Duckworth parts again, you can get a quote at least and he will be able to tell you if they are in pairs only.

Northern Ireland 2000 Defender 90 Td5 CSW Epsom Green
Fitted a Maplins central locking kit today to the two front doors (90 CSW). Not tackled the rear door yet but hope to later tonight. As I have a 270 alarm, I have no handy means of attaching the central locking outputs to it, so I'm working with a remote receiver with fob in the meantime, while I watch that famous auction site for a 280 alarm.

The Defender is a nightmare when it comes to routing wiring. I've fitted the genuine rubber wiring gaiters between the doors and the bulkhead but getting the wiring from there to the module was a right pain.

I'm really pleased with the results and pushing a button certainly beats faffing about for a key on a cold wet evening!

Took the soft A-bar and spots off, as I just don't like them. Had the obligatory bolt that wouldn't budge, lots of swearing, all off now, so its pub time

ACF 50'd my trailer wheels / rims.
Slight corrosion starting on them so in the future might think about alloys instead.
Not quite sure how they'd look though..
