The 110 came with a few loose parts in the back. There was a set of windscreen wiper blades, grill and light surrounds in silver and a pair of aftermarket fire and ice side steps.
I cleaned and polished the side steps the first weekend we had the truck but I wasn't able to figure out how to mount them. My friend, an engineer at JLR and a Defender expert, fitted them for me. I would have gone for a little less bling, but I already had these so on they went. We also discovered a set of wheel spacers behind the steel wheels. Rather than remove the spacers, we adjusted the locks to get a little tighter turning circle.  Click image to enlarge |

This past weekend I spent a few hours troubleshooting a fault with the reversing light and rear park assist.
Our Defender has a alphamotiva rear park assist. The park assist is powered by the reverse light. My first instinct was to check for a bad install and loose wire. No luck. It was done professionally. They made up a harness that plugged into the original light socket. I plugged the rear fog lamp into reverse socket - no light... I did some other basic troubleshooting at the back of the car and i checked for power at the fuse. All good. With today's warm weather, the park assist and reverse light started working. That sure sounds like a sticking reverse switch to me. I'll be checking that next. Might not get a change to do any work this weekend or next. Doesn't look like the easiest job either. |
