I CANT RESIST
Bo, my first thoughts was bolted to the bulk head but looking at that photo you have the spare on the bonnet, and seats in the back, now my kid and her mates have repeatadly asked me if they can ride in the back, and even before I said no due to lack of seat belts and the obvious physics of pasenger...

Cheers
Bolt it to the floor wasnt my first choice but thinking on it if i cut a circle of mdf it could make quite a nice cooking surface when camping and i can just chuck stuff on top of it otherwise + side is it dosen't block the view out of the back and its simple )

Internal spare
Anyone got tips on the prefered mounting of a spare wheel on the inside of a Defender 90 hard top. I prefer to have it inside so it does not get covered in crap, or pinched or wreck the back door. Also I finaly got the electrics sorted after cutting out all the melted bits and spent 2 hours under th...

Thanks Bo
Thanks Bo
I see what you mean, drill the holes from the back to fit the tubes, spread the load on both faces.

Grats on pulling it off
Grats on pulling it off, I had the benift of watching Kingson do mine, but I agree the Forum and the internet make life so much easier, BUT a few never forget to 'phone a friend' sometime chatting on the phone is so much eaisier, or just get a chum to come and give you a hand. I have have have lots ...

Seems my options are. 1. Try and drill holes in the b...

Nato hitch
Bo you wrote I wouldn't recommend just drilling holes in the cross member and bolting on the nato, you need to make sure there are tubes inside to prevent it crushing either when you tighten it up or when you make a recovery, both of which will compromise safety. How do you get tubes inside as it se...

Fluid level
Seems it was the simple solution, even though the resovoir was 2 thirds full seems it wanted more, topping it to the top sorted the issue, wish everything was that easy. On my way back from Kingsons today some of the electrics died, indicators, fuel gauge and temp gauge, possibly more. Took an indic...

Kingson
Kingson, I belive you have 2 batteries so there should be no need to run such a high output alternator. there are probably loads of campanies that can refurb your old one also http://www.auto-generators.co.uk/alternators.htm http://www.unit-exchange.co.uk/car-alternators.html scrap yard might also b...

Wanting to get mine done so if anyone can come up with suggestions that are better than brushing it on ...

First thing i would do
First thing i would do is diconnect the alternator and do a short ride and see if the problems go away, that way you have strong evidence its the alternator and i supect the voltage regulator is bolted to it. Secondly i would phone some auto electricians as this is what they do for a living and casu...

Regulator
It could also be the voltage regulator, the alternator just pumps out ac current I would have expected the symptoms of a faulty alternator to be low charging to the battery and not eratic voltages ?, just a thought )
