'NAS' Lighting
smo:
Much better, it never made sence why on newer defenders LR persisted in fitting the crappy little ones still.
Its somthing i willl get around to on the 90 at some point, i had similar sized screw-cap metal milly ones on the 110, they also performed excellently but cost even more than the NAS ones :shock:
Bush Tucker Man:
Bought the stop/tails & the remaining plinths on Monday.
So when I got back this morning from Manchester Airport, I set to.
Pint pot of Tea
Spare off in order to get a straight line between indicators with a length of string
Marked up & cut
Kept all fingers, & the wiring intact :shock:
Pint of tea
Mounted plinths
Made up most of the connections*
Another pint of Tea (bl**dy hot out there!)
I forgot how heavy a 235/85 is when trying to put it back on the carrier, it's a bit warm to be doing that.
* Not all the connections are made.
There's the secondary tails to splice into the main tails yet
Near-side Fog-lamp is also to connect
They'll have to wait until I get some help

Looking good there BTM however are the drivers side ones "in-line", the middle assembly looks to be a little lower :shock:
I would offer some assistance, but its a bit of a trek from here to yorkshire.

Yes they are. It's a 'trick of the light'

I've just been offered help on the 'S3, 90 & 110 Club' forum as well, but Matt's down in Sutton Coldfield
I didn't say, but I got the feed for the off-side reverse from the (tow-bar) work-lamp that the previous owner had fitted as an extra reverse light.

Earlier this evening I just thought; "Stuff It, I'll Have A Go!"
After all I could reach through open doors & windows
So on with Bob Harris on Radio 2 & his interview with the Dixie Chicks
(As I type 'Rockin With Suzi Q' is about half-way through \:D/ )
Thankfully the rear-most bolts ran into captive nuts & the front mounts were accessable with the middle row seats folded, then the back-rests knocked out sideways.
I could have still done with another person to take the cables out of the locking forceps I was using from underneath through the grommits.
Half-an-hour saw the remaining 3 feeds spliced in.
Still it all worked properly & doesn't blow any fuses due to the extra load
So, success :D
Edit @ 22:12
I've been out at dusk & took a photo with them lit
Apologies for the poor quality, but there's no flash, just avilable light @ 21:55
(didn't take one with fogs, as they'd just flare the image out)
