I have looked at a few autos in my past. My first question would be why did you replace the previous box and how long ago?

My 8 year old 110 is also in need of some pretty side steps.
Like others, I think I like the black fire and ice ones best.

Aren't the dealers wonderful at fitting extras/options.
You have a selection of unused switches and they have to drill a hole and fit some weird switch because it comes in the kit.

Hi,
I think the easy bit is what you can see by the battery.
What sort of switch do you have to allow the winch to get power - on the dash somewhere I guess?
What is you plan for that switch or hol ... |

That Bot130m stuff for the transmission is no longer available, the equivalent is Castrol Syntrans Multivehicle 75w90
For the transfer box you can use Castrol Syntrax Longlife 75w90 |

Hello Duckworth Land Rover,
I notice that the Friday is included as a full price ticket day at Kelmarsh.
Do you know if this will be more a setup day or full show day?
Thanks |
