Give it a good scrub over weekend not been washed for months! Think half of the farm came off underneath! Now the Mrs can't use the excuse of it being filthy and making us go in her Jap crap!

New Stainless headlight rings tomorrow and add the steps that have been in the garage for 12 month! 110 Hard Top - Izmir Blue

It might be a fair bit extra but with the hassle of pressing the old one out and pressing a new one in, an extra £20 saves a lot of time and hassle.

Plus this new one has more articulation, not really going to see the benefit of it with the ARB still fitted but also liked the fact it's adjustable and has a grease nipple.


Mite look into getting one of those then as mine is well past it Wink Graham

Hi Brian

After seeing your Noldens and comparing them to Evo 2 lights fitted to a Jeep Florida I decided that the Noldens had a better spread and reach of light Shocked Rolling Eyes 2014 110 2.2TDCi XS Station wagon

Hi INVSBL,
Yes, had the cage (SD from Defender Tuning) finally fitted last week. So far I had no troubles with the law but I will declare it as a roof rack system. Having the small cargo bars over the rear part should hopefully help. Regarding the internal bar I will fit some webbing and put it down as 2nd cargo barrier for the insurance. I want to have it engineered sooner than later. Not really the way to do it but was no longer willing to drive around with a cage. m

Went through its MOT - no advisories - a result.
Might spoil it to some paint soon - it is currently a number of shades - grey primer, black primer, white and original Green.

Belgium 2013 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 SW Barolo Black
Finally had a free afternoon to finish some electrical work:

- Installed extra fuse box in the under-cubby storage safe along with a number of relays to switch extra electrical users. Initial trigger is taken from the auxiliary below the radio.
- Installed 2 switches near the cup-holders in the cubby box: one to activate the front and rear cameras, and the other to switch on high beam of the Lazer RS4 lights. Cameras were initially switched on by the reverse light, but when maneuvering back and forth it is much nicer to have the image on all the time. Really easy to do now.
- The Lazer lights are enclosed in a new Zunsport grille. I really like the looks of that setup and also the fact that nothing is protruding and the lights cannot be removed without also removing the complete grille. One drawback: fine-tuning the direction of the lights is not so easy Wink
- Installed and wired 3 switches in the under-cubby storage box. One is now used to fully switch off the Lazer RS4 lights (so also DRL is switched off/on). Other switches are already wired to relays for future users like rear working lights.
- Also wired a double USB and extra auxiliary power socket from the fuse box.
- Installed a heavy 5-core and a lighter 3-core cable from under the cubby box to the front bumper. For now it is used to power and switch the Lazer lights and a device to scare off some martens that are terrorizing our neighborhood (and already did some severe damage on 2 of our cars).
