Sorry guys I haven't had a lot of time to get on here lately
Stiff1: I'll put photo's up of it closed for you tomorrow  The glove box came from 'My Land Rover'
http://www.mobilestoragesystems.net/land-r...s-pgb.html R500DEF: Thanks for the comment 'Great Thread'
I think they had the best in terms of quality and I looked at most that were available. The hinge on this one is the best I've seen it's a full length piano hinge. The metal has a decent powder coating which looks and feels nice and the lid has a flush fit. I'll put some photo's of it up tomorrow
bpman: I like the sound of fitting power and USB within it - any photos?

RRUK: Welcome back mate I've been emailing Alive re-full suspension set up, remap, (thinking about Stainless sports exhaust mines a little rusty here and there so good enough excuse as long as it isn't load! i'd like to hear one before I make a decision) Black roof lining fully fitted £300 I'm very interested to see that! They want my 90 for 2 to 3 days to complete everything so that would mean either driving it there, train back or getting it delivered there and getting a train up to pick it up.... We are still in talks regarding total coast 
Have you got the window deflectors? Do you like them...?? 2010 Defender 90 HT The longer I live..... The better I was! |

Not as flush as I thought from the side view I might tinker with it but looks ok from the front seats and is very handy - I'm very pleased with it & would recommend as a top mod

Mine also isn't flush but is at least straight, yours looks a little wonky on one end? 2016 D4 HSE

Laurence, how are you finding the wind deflectors? I think I'm going to remove mine, they just get in the way mostly.
Might keep them for winter and for shoot days for ventilation of the dog. Any news from Alive?? 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol |

Hi Adam' Yes this a copy of part of an email Alive sent back to me regarding a quote for a list of things I wanted done:
Q:FULL ROOF/HEAD LINING CHARCOAL BLACK ALCANTARA A:-£550 + Vat for genuine Alcantara or for a similar cheaper material It could be done for £300 + Vat Adam Like you Alive want my 90 for 2 to three days! How far are you from Alive? I'm looking at a 3 to 4hr drive from Essex! Alive will collect at an extra cost although I've not been brave enough to ask how much as yet! When I purchased my 90 I had it collected from up that way and delivered to Essex, cost me £350 so I don't think that's going to be a viable option for me unless I thin the work down to cover the cost, defeats the object somewhat! Only leaves me with the option of a day by road and train to deliver and the same to collect! Spending a few days up there isn't going to be cost effective or viable due to work commitments 
CSK Automotive are not far from me they can do the Alive remap for me which I'm going to book in to have done in the next few weeks I'm just not sure about the distance thing with Alive now! 2010 Defender 90 HT The longer I live..... The better I was! |

They are not as far from me.
IF I do go down this route of suspension and remap, it will not be till the summer. I have other more pressing things to spend money on (not my cars for once!) 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol |

One other option is the VB full air suspension......
http://www.vbairsuspension.com/en/page/sol...ion4c.html But at £5,286+VAT although I'd love to have it and it would mean I could get my Defender in to my garage it comes in a bit rich for the likes of me! Somebody with technical skill like yourself Adam I suspect you could fit one using Range Rover air suspension parts a lot cheaper!! 2010 Defender 90 HT The longer I live..... The better I was! |

Yep that would drive me mad aswell. I fitted one to an old 90 and that never sat right I ended up converting it back.
Nothing wrong with OCD mind. 1998 90 50th Anniversary 4.0 V8

Going back to your post on DRL bumpers - did you go ahead with the pre-used bumper and ebay lights? How did it go and turn out?
Thanks Chris |
