Karl, I'm getting the Terrafirma one, see here.

I'm pretty sure there must be a reseller in AU? Or contact Mulgo, they may be able to help!

Driving to work this morning and turned on the lights...pffttt...green indicator light on dash blew. Wondered if it was part of a larger problem I checked lights which were working except for front left park which must have a blow globe. Do they deliberately sourse their components from Dodgy Brothers Imports just to keep us all on our toes?

Trust this is not the start of minor random electrical issues which I understand has been an issue. At least this can wait till its first service.

Just a bit of positive feedback as well as I would hate people to think that I think the Defender is a lemon...far from it. I love it absolutely and on the weekend I fell in love with the anti stall system...how good is that on a really steep downhill in 1st Low, engine breaking working and you can literally stand on the brake and it won't stall. Roger Vickery the Qld ARB state Manager had told be how good it was after he spent 2 weeks in a 110 on a variety bash, and he was right. Am sure some will not like it, but damn it worked for me.

Not so in love with the Traction Control and finding the fuse has moved up the priority list. Some times you just need momentum and when stuck in heavy mud I needed to get a run up to get over a slippery crest. A locker and no TC would have been the go but the TC kept putting the brakes on every time a wheel looked like slipping a bit and I just couldn't get the speed up.

Thought only the "lights", light had blown when I turn them on this morning. Just went for night drive.....indicators, high beam, engine lights on start up all Ok but no dash lights for the instruments working at all.

Either I don't drive at night or I book it in for the 5th time..only got it back on Friday..this is wearing thin.

Because the dealer had the dash out last week, I don't want to touch it and give them a warranty Get out of jail free card.

I get my 110 mid feb I hope I have more luck than you have had so far.

Was that to fit on a Puma??
