I'd not be remotely worried about the total current draw from that kit.
Unless you already have some significant issues with your charging circuit, or your battery is absolutely on its last legs, t ... |

Hi,
I've got a rather tatty 88" Series 3 that could do with some better seating.
I could buy new, but they'd look a bit out of keeping with the rest of it, so thought I'd ask on here, just ... |

which components did you go for?
Appreciate that not everyone will want to trim the dash or warm/reshape heater ducting, but for those that might, knowing suitable brands/models will be helpful |

I put the audison kit up front in mine, and a set of JL audio 5.25" co-axials in the rear. I'm also running a separate sub and amp to fill in the low end.

Standard speakers are 4"
Focal and Audison are some of the ones that a lot of people fit. Have a search, there's plenty of threads on here with details and pictures.
FWIW, I did some measu ... |

Thanks for that really helpful explanation.
I didn't get much time to look at it yesterday, so I just unplugged the horn and put the fuse back in. At least I didn't get woken up in the middle of t ... |

thanks for the additional information.
Nice to know that the horn itself can simply fail in this way. If that's the outcome I'll be quite happy. I'd far rather replace the horn than have to get in ... |

Morning all,
at 3am this morning, the horn on my Defender started blaring! and wouldn't stop.

When the AC is on, it runs the fan as if you're on setting '1'.
So, assuming that the AC simply connects to the resistor pack in the same way as the switch, it's entirely expected that the AC will ... |
