Water Leak Fixes

Reporting on another job undertaken earlier in the New Year. After a heavy down pour or wash down, there would reliably be a puddle of water in the driver's foot well and in the upper dash parcel shelf. See article on how fixes were applied.

New Year 2020

Some minor fixes over the New Year break - here's the link.

Rear Door Gas Strut

Just about every time we need to go into the rear load area, somehow Sluggie has been parked in such a way that the rear door closes on you while you're ferreting around in the back. Either that or the wind blows and shuts the door behind you.

Decided to fit a gas strut - here's the link.

Coolant

Headlights

The headlamp lighting circuit on a Defender unfortunately routes the current destined for the headlight lamps through the steering column switches. This results in at least two problems. Firstly, there is excessive electric wear on the column switches as a good amount of current gets dumped through switch. Secondly, there is a voltage drop at the headlight lamps due to a combination of the run lengths and the small gauge cable used to route the power.
