Ok to bring everything up to date.

Click image to enlarge Nothing major just a guard to protect the fuel lines that run down by the chassis. It is called a fuel cooler guard but as Microcat says models with EU5 emissions only have a bypass pipe. Hey who cares more shiny bits  |

Thanks.
Diff Guards are good considering they are just a rebadged QT versions, I have done some minor 'testing' and they have a few marks but on the whole they are holding up well. I do have the very first batch models that were silver electroplate and any current ones are sold painted in the signature grey so can't comment on how well they last. |

One of my most favourite 110s on here...so I keep stalking the thread rather embarrassingly
 Anyway, meant to say for a while that I got inspired by you to do the Alive remap considering you look after her so well and rather conservatively - meant in a good way - so I thought if he's done it, than it must be fine  Eventually I took the plunge and oh my is it a pleasure to drive. Every time I go up one too many hills on A30 I think to myself what was I waiting for! MY15 Aintree 110 SW - for sale - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic82781.html

It's ok, I 'Shadow' your progress thread too.
Good to hear you are pleased with the Alive remap, It really does give you a level of performance fitting for the size of the vehicle. Although On ending of the warranty there is slight temptation to maybe go for the big intercooler and turn the taps up to 180 / 460NM ish point. It is more for the torque than anything it is nice to bimble about at 50MPH in top gear surfing a wall of torque and admiring the countryside go by. Jaro as your familiar with the A roads round here then it is nice to have that overtaking reserve without feeling your going to hit a performance wall. |

You hit the nail on the head there - once you get a taste of the improvement, it is very tempting to consider a full blown upgrade (intercooler, turbo, exhaust). Having said that, I am very impressed with the fact that my mpg has actually increased and that's with truly utilising the extra performance. I wonder if pushing it to stage 2 would make my foot way too heavy - it must be difficult to resist
 I already find myself driving faster in the 110 then I used to.
Most importantly, it became a very comfortable ride being able to cruise in top gear with extra power readily available should one need it - a top modification. MY15 Aintree 110 SW - for sale - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic82781.html MY16 Santorini 90 HT - sold |

Hi.

Click image to enlarge Above is what greeted me during a levels check back in October. After a period of time of too-ing and fro-ing to make sure it is an oil leak the main dealer confirmed it 'was' an Oil leak (Rear engine crankshaft main oil seal) and that is what was fixed last weekend. So hopefully I'll never see that again. It did require the removal of the gearbox and they did check on the output shaft while they were in there. In this topic >> Defender Drive Flange Wear You might of seen my tale of getting the JLR to warranty replace my rear shafts. Well technically JLR were fine it was the main dealer who told me that they wouldn't but hey. Either way my defender is now sporting a new set of the latest one piece shafts and a 'As new' feel to the driving experience with smooth clonk free changes. Click image to enlarge |

Ok after last weeks winching in the crematorium car park I was going to reset my winch and clean the rope but it wouldn't spool out.
The spades on the allbright have again fractured through vibration, this is the second time that this has happened to me  and I do wonder if setting them in Epoxy would stop the vibration as a winch is what you want working when you need it.
So Looks like I'll be ordering one off Devon 4x4 soonish. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |
