Thread: What did you do on your Landy today?

Washed it again, only had it 3 days

Cheers

Took the County for a bit of a night drive to see what improvement the Traxide headlight wiring upgrade had made.
HUGE difference - they're real lights now

Just need a decent alternator now and the electrics are about done...

Any clues on where from, Bob

Foam is readily available:

Britcar (UK) Ltd > HGB101070 PAD SEAT BASE FRONT(-)POWER SEAT DIS2(G)

Cover Assy - Front Seat Cushion - Genuine Land Rover at www.rimmerbros.co.uk

The cover part number depends on trim colour and pattern. This is what I ordered for mine:

Britcar (UK) Ltd > AWR3430LPW SEAT SQUAB BASE GREY (-)LOGO DIS11 (G)

Land Rover - Cover Assy - Front Seat Cushion - Genuine at www.rimmerbros.co.uk

It requires a session with Microcat to locate the correct part number.

Removed the front bumper and drove the D2 to the local mechanics to have a mounting plate for a Bruce Davis recovery point welded to the chassis.

Franz - I used some Alpine G series speakers as per the link - they are actually 6.5", not 6" as the link says.

Alpine 70 Watt RMS Splits - Speakers - JB Hi-Fi - Smashing Prices!

JB had another 30% off over the weekend so they were just over $80 a pair, bargain!

I had to put new connectors on to feed the speaker input to the crossover unit. Physically the speakers went in with a quick run around the existing hole with a stanly knife to increase the diameter fractionally. Tweeters on the rear doors were mounted externally rather than flush so I can just plug a small hole if I sell the vehicle and strip the stereo out later.
Front tweeters fitted into the exisiting a pillar mounts on mine.

I seem to be getting a lot more mid range detail now - not spent a lot of time in the car yet but I think my wife has noticed the difference... I've alos got them hooked up to an aftermarket alpine head unit and not the standard LR unit.

Then discovered I'd been sent the D2a point when I tried to refit the bumper

Oh no!
What's your plan of attack?
