I've done a little digging on this in the past as I was hoping to get my TD5 130 (3500kg currently) plated at 3800kg or more.

I spoke to a few companies and it was relatively simple to get it pla ...

Unsure of the technicalities but I've run 235 85 16s on 8j Mach5s for roughly 15 years. Never a problem, they have been nasty off road remolds. Its not a town car though.

What ever the coating may be it has started to corro ...

Thats pretty similar money if you compare them to Safari Equip I would guess. I have been having a few problems getting tanks to fit the 130 so might give Shingleback a try.

Potentially also keen f ...

I have for sale a rear work shop style body originally designed and fitted to a 130. The vehicle was registered in December 2006 so I would imagine the body is 2006 or later.

For clarity the car is ...

Hi,

I have a good condition TD5 bulkhead, will be for sale soon. I need to strip some of the parts off it first though. I'll be honest I paid good money for it so it isn't a cheepo.

Has anyone dismantled the clock to fit the LED? Any idea how to go about it? I did have a look but didn't spend too much time on it.

Looking to find out how easy or difficult they were to fit and plumb in?

I'd like to have a couple of guages for fuel level etc. K ...
