Fixed rear brake light wiring issue. (Thanks to my Dad being in town). Always nice having a second set of hands.
Repaired rear door lock, one of the bolts had pulled through the metal so it wasn't closing properly. Also replaced the bearings and seals on the left rear axle.
My Son's D1 had a quirky electrical experience last week. Wipers came on when you pressed the brake peddle while in Park. That silliness was also causing the shift actuator from disengaging. So we ended up pulling the console apart to check wires and actuator. When we reconnected the wires to the actuator everything seemed to go back to normal. We'll see. I just hope we can put this back as tight as it was before. He's got a solid pure stock SD.
Are you talking about the safety solenoid?
I ditched all those. They will fail when ou least expect it.

How big of an improvement do the LED headlight bulbs provide?
I don't have great night vision, to me massive. Coming from modern cars the stock Defender headlights barely did anything. The LED are like a new luxury car. While off with the chrome housing, they don't stand out too much which i liked. Plus they were a option on Defenders so it isn't too aftermarketish.

Where did you buy them? Actually where did you buy all your exterior lights?
Definitely on my list of upgrades this winter.

yeah, I guess that sounds like the proper name for it. What's the right way to delete that thing?
Some people remove it completeley.
But then you have to make a blanking plate to replace it.
I've done it that way, but now I just cut off the actual locking pin...

Got two things done this week. Disc Brake Disco axle installed, it was more ass pain picking it up in my Golf than installing it. The next thing was the Exmoor trim locking cubby box. This is the metal one. Got it for a good price from Exmoor as it was scratched. Now I have a place to put my elbow when I am driving.

That box is really nice. I just got the standard one. Not a fan. It looks too narrow and cheap.
On the 95:
Washed and waxed
Removed middle seat in anticipation of cubby.
Replaced hood release cable, mechanism, and latch.
Removed, cleaned, painted and reinstalled grill and surrounds.
Installed bonnet hinge bushings.
Replaced door lock button trim.
Tightened up roof bolts and side panel bolts
Continued dynamat... Work in progress
Removed nasty-ass seat covers.
Removed driver and passenger seats, cleaned all tracks and underneath, reinstalled.
Went to vacant parking lot and scraped mud, sand, rocks, old Waxoyl, grease, and other shizz from the frame and body. (Quite the pile of stuff, and this is after a two hour car wash underwash)
