... because I don't trust LR not to have a mix of Imperial and Metric :eek: , and anyway when I have had accessories added they tend to use metric nuts and bolts.... :angel:Quote:

Oh, and the wheelnuts.
Virtually everything else is metric .
You're probably right rick, but saying that just re-inforces my belief in having both sets of spanners, you can never be too prepared :spudnikbeanie:
I didn't think the box was that big, is it the same size as a series III box?Quote:

Most people install their compressors under the bonnet in the engine bay. Her you get heat, mud, water and dust every time you go out. I guess they can take it otherwise you'd never see this.Quote:

Well, actually I have not had it under water or in a mud puddle! :blush: However, the top of the box is sealed by the foam lipped lid, so to get water in there you need an air leak at the top.
(put a glass upside down into a sink of water, like a diving bell), no water!
So if the only holes are in the bottom of the box and the top is sealed it should be OK.
Drier and cleaner than under the bonnet in the heat and dust, and sealed better than in the cabin also.
Trev.
I have two batteries in the passenger side with the controller and half a million wires. Can't work out what they are all for. The way its been done there is not much room.
Drivers side is the ECU and main fuse block.
Under the rear seats I have a drawer where I keep the first aid kit, recovery gear and the all important bog roll. There are also jumper cables and a steel cable under the rear seat next to the drawer.
Still need to find a spot for the computer and subs :eek:
Absolutely.... on both my Rangie & Defender.Quote:
