After a drive yesterday, I am not 100% convinced on the extra height the rails give.
I am not sure if its something I need time to get used to or not.
If I am sticking with the extra height then I need to alter the cubby box height as now its too low. 1999 Defender TD5 110

I need to give the rails a bit longer to see if I can get comfortable with them. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Hi John, I went for a Hella in the end as I could not get a Denso in time and Hella is supposed to be a decent 'safe' brand. Apparently made in Germany. What could go wrong eh?!

Tell you what though, the TD5 does not like 18v Shocked Gauges do some weird things. No fault codes though. I will get it sorted tomorrow.

Should go faster though… Rolling with laughter

When I upgraded by cordless drill from a 12v model to an 18v model it was an improvement all round - you just need to give it time…

Hella lot of voltage..... 1999 Defender TD5 110

Ha... Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

Well all is back to where it should be. Picked up the replacement replacement alternator and Miffy is now being supplied with a consistent 14v +/-.

Good for another 200k miles or so Thumbs Up
