Another Defender switch to melting experience to watch out for? I found out the hard way that the hazzard lights switch can melt an internal nylon slide so that the plastic bits get stuck in the melted hole :bad-words: and you can't turn the hazards off without destroying the switch. This is also ...

probably extra room for heatsinks & air flow Agreed, and the fact that they will probably have several MOSFETS in parallel, maybe 4 for each leg of the bridge = 16 MOSFETS, with each one needing to be solidly mounted onto a piece of heatsink, they will take up quite an area.

Now this may sound like a stupid question,but how do I measure the backspace required for new rims on my defender?? She's currently got the stock steel rims it came with,and I'm looking to put some 16x8's on and run some 35's and have been told I need to get the backspace right or they could rub ...

I always thought EGR was a good thing. But only know about its use on petrol not oil burners. With petrol the exhaust gas contains a certain amount of nitrus oxide..... Hi Popeye, close but no cigar... The idea of recirculating exhaust is to cut down the nitrides formed at high combustion ...
