I was indeed Steve...
But the most telling element is the 'palm difference' - how surprisingly rough the bonnet felt immediately after washing and drying compared to the smooth as a baby's after the clay treatment... 
I am suitably impressed and didn't drop the clay once...  Rog...

Flat surfaces such as the bonnet and roof are always the worst.

Fitted my £20 RX8 leather and heated seats in today. Made the driver seat so it will tilt back so I can get at the ecu etc. I'll make some more riser rails so the passenger seat will do the same.

Strongly thinking about a set of these seats. Do they recline back fully, ie until they hit the rear seat?
Also, is the back thicker so reducing the rear passenger space or no different? Can you measure the max seat width as also have ideas for the cubby box and concerned about the space there? Of course, how are they for comfort/ support? Apologies for all the question and thanks in advance. |

Got back to her after a long days work yesterday to find that she had about 10 small dents on either side, almost looks like it's been caused by a BB gun or similar. BMW on one side and Freelander on the other side totally untouched, and in a farm yard, so not exactly got random people passing by.
I'm not seriously bothered about the dents as it's a working vehicle, but I wish people who had a problem would come and tell you face to face, rather than be a total pussy and target a car. Trying to work out who I've upset. |

After several months bought back some of the tools that were stolen from around the house, so finally had everything back to install my WIPAC LED number plate light. And as after the theft I had to replace my stolen SVX wheels and bolts/locking bolts, the new set of locking bolts is a different code letter, so today I also undid with the new tools the old locking wheel nut of the spare wheel, and replaced by the 5th locking wheel nut of the new set with a new code.
Here is a pic of the WIPAC LED number plate light with its nice crisp white cree leds. Click image to enlarge You never actually own a Defender. 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 |

Big day! Installed the arches on the 130's tub and then bolted in and wired up the winch

That looks hench Ronin. Did you decide to get rid of the white lettering off the tyres or are they just on the other side? Or am I thinking of someone else with phat wheels on a 130 ?! (I easily get confused
