No issues yet. However, it's not used regularly, just a weekend run about and not used nearly enough at the moment.
I've been watching your build with much interest, great work!

Good to hear that the rear door have no issues, especially with the weight of the wolfs. I know mine was already cracked when I bought it, it cracked right where the hole for the wiper shaft goes through the door. When I bought it it did not even have the spare wheel mounted on the rear door, there was just a blanking plate, and discovered the crack when I was mounting the spare wheel carrier to the door. There seems like there was a stiffener plate riveted to the door. I try to snap a picture later. I do not think it is something done by Landrover. So I used to only mount my spare wheel for 5miles to the testing station and back as was always afraid that the door could fall off.

With lockdown the poor old V8 has sat (on charge) for several months without use, so decided on a beautiful sunny Suffolk Sunday to take her to the coast for a drive. She fired up first time, I was amazed! Seems both front right 'side light' and 'indicator' have packed up and it's not the bulbs, so will have to do more investigating.

Possibly a fuse, James?
And what part of the almost as good as Essex coast did you visit? |

Thanks slidey, I hadn't considered a fuse being 'sided', although noticed the side light came on intermittently tonight, so loose connection somewhere.
I'm afraid the only place the Essex coast comes even close to the Suffolk coast is Manningtree!! 
This was a very quiet Ramsholt, beautiful remote spot.
