Unless I overlooked it in the posts somewhere, which LED headlights are those? The new Nolden possibly?
Time to start comparison tests between Speaker, Nolden, other  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Well
It was a eventful day off today! Left Newport 11am after finding out the speedo cable transducer was bust and LR Dealer didnt have one in stock so I decided to use my Tom Tom as a temporary speedo which is very much needed for the speed camera hell that is London! Got stuck behind an nasty accident for a hour on the M4 near Reading, overheated 10miles after the accident so I pulled over and put water in and ran it for a while, seemed ok so got to where Ken on here worked in NW London and bought his 285 BFG AT's on black mods off him and had a quick chat but couldnt stay long as Ken was flat out but pleasure to have finally met you Ken!  
Got out of London eventually after my chosen escape route was closed off due to another accident! Got past Swindon before a wall of coolant and steam hit my windscreen and immediately pulled over! Click image to enlarge this was the cause of the massive leak, a exploded top hose, so it must be a head gasket, im hoping the Head itself is ok! seeing I pulled over immediately as it didnt hit red at all, apart from the first time it over heated 100miles ago. Click image to enlarge Being recovered home which wasnt without drama as nearly got wiped out by a straying artic because of the low sun, also a merc estate over took us with its front wheel on the rim and its female driver not knowing whats going on and carrying on, so had to force her to pull over before she started killing herself and anyone around her!

Replaced the top hose yesterday but it seems to be pressurising so its off to the garage for a new gasket, hopefully the heads ok!
On the upside I got some new MUD seat rails for it courtesy of ARC99 2011 Santorini Black USW XS.
