Land Rover Defender Headlight Relay Upgrade - Installation and Review
Early Defender's were produced without a relay for the headlights. This resulted in high currents passing directly through the headlight switch. Over time, the heat generated from these high currents melted the contacts within the switch and caused it to fail, resulting in the loss of headlights. The voltage drop from the under-rated wiring can be more than 1V! This reduces light output significantly.
After my switch failed I decided it was time to add a relay into the wiring system. This is an easy installation which does not require any modifications to the existing headlight loom. A H4 male connector plugs into the existing headlight plug and powers the relays.
Google "Headlight relay" to find a suitable wiring diagram to follow. Making the relay loom is a simple procedure that anyone with a basic degree of electrical knowledge can achieve. Ready-made kits are also available. Search google and you should find one.

The rear vision of large four wheel drives is quite poor. Therefore I've purchased the components off eBay to build a reversing camera system for my Land Rover Defender. Installation is really easy and should only take a couple hours.

I've decided to convert my Land Rover Defender 110 wagon into an expedition camper, in preparation for an around Australia 4x4 trip in the coming years. The following series will document my progress as I transform my standard interior into something more practical for expedition use.
In Part 1, I begin by stripping all the interior roof lining, door panels, seats and carpets to clean out all the accumulated dirt and expose any areas in need of rust removal.

Relax or meditate to the sounds of an Australian sunset by a river. Enjoy the quiet atmosphere of chirping crickets and birdcalls on this still summer afternoon in Outback Queensland. Recorded at Welford National Park on the Barcoo River. Listen for relaxation, meditation, stress-relief, improved sleep or concentration, or atmosphere while doing the dishes.

I install a rear door gas strut in a Land Rover Defender station wagon. The gas strut is far superior at keeping the rear door open on uneven surfaces.
The Mulgo Defender gas strut kit comes complete with all fixings and detailed instructions. Due to my rear door table modifications, I had to relocate the strut to the top of the door frame and make new mounts. The original door stay was left in place at the bottom.
The Mulgo Gas strut kit can be purchased from http://www.expeditioncentre.com.au

An initial review of my new Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tyres as fitted to my Land Rover Defender 110. I have found these tyres to perform exceptionally well on and off road. On road handling is exact and with minimal road noise. Off road with pressures reduced they performed incredibly well allowing me to crawl up loose slopes with ease. The Duratrac's come with a 2 ply sidewall and a 6 ply tread.
