Pencil Rubbing - that's priceless! I mean, how could you possibly fake that? :)
Audi in mine - works a treat :)
Barnie doesn't deserve association with that idiot!
Sabian - you're about 90 minutes North of me if you need a go on a Nanocom we could meet up.
Both. In some countries, it's cheaper to hire real people than have a bot written.
Welcome!!!
I hauled work's new Horsebox/catering trailer around the place and into town for some wiring work. The Duchess wasn't phased and EAS is really a great thing. I did the same journey with the Jeep today for comparison and it was fine but EAS makes it all much easier, especially when the heights don't match up.

They're cheaper from the source
https://www.nanocom-diagnostics.com/shop/product/ncom04Looks like Bearmach might actually work out cheaper by the time you add shipping in? Theres only £3.67 between them?
Every pound is a prisoner! :)

It's OK - we haven't had a New Defender thread yet. Perhaps it's time to start one!
Marty fixed mine by soldering in lengths of wire to replace the broken bits. He also fitted different erm.. thingies.. which made the seats heat up to a worthwhile temp. I wouldn't be without them now!
It's a vote in favour of the US style parts bin approach. If you have 6"x4" recangular lights (as fitted to many many Yank cars) there are tons of upgrade options available and aftermarket replacements at all levels of quality.
If you have a Fiat and crack a rear light - God help you. The Italians seem to have a tail light fetish and no two cars are the same.

Still wouldn't have any other car though so it's worth it to me, smiles per gallon!
Hah, so have I - it soon adds up doesn't it! :)
Ooof - close one!! Well done for resurrecting it.
(and yes, Jeeps are handy to have around! hehe)
125 milesof mainly A road today. After lock down it seemed like a transcontinental road trip!
All perfect except without the "sidelight LH" warning and beep I left the bloody headlights on and had to beg a jumpstart. Ah well. The new tyres were super quiet 👍
£1k a year is a good number even without labour. It certainly beats depreciation!
Richard, if you charged your time at £75 an hour how close would you be to Clive's figures? :)
Engine swaps are cheap DIY if you have tools skills and time. Of those I have.. err... your number? haha :)
MOT here too - no advisories :)
but... they did spot and tighten some prop bolts. Errrr, that would be me!
But I've bought a torque wrench since then so it won't happen again, honest guv.
Sorted, really helpful thanks. It obviously hadn't moved for a very long time so I was 50:50 on breaking that!
Anticlockwise. Gotcha. Thanks Richard!
Hi folks. I need to change one of the sidelight bulbs on the Duchess. I can find the back of the sidelight easy enough but it doesn't seem to want to shift. Is there a trick to it? I've tried some wiggling and general messing about but I'm getting very strong Brittle Plastic vibes and don't want to cause a mess ahead of an MOT tomorrow.
Any ideas please?
