Hopefully your tenacity will be paid off in full.
Very well done - just that MOT under your belt and I bet you'll be as happy as a prawn in aspic!

Got it dirty :laugh:
Nipped out on a research mission for a breakfast spot and to check a couple of lanes for next weekend.
Then fiddled about getting the roof-rack lights wired in. Front light-bar is connected to the high-beam via a relay and has a switch on the roof pod thing so I can choose if it works or not. Very bright indeed (180w LED):
Added a couple of rear spots for either side as well. These are just on a manual switch & relay ([strike]so I can blind anyone too close behind me![/strike] so that I can use them without being in reverse):

Looks good riccy, I'll watch the vid later when I'm not at work.
Hopefully will be able to start getting my own up soon, as after nearly two year off the road mine finally got its mot this morning.
And despite my worries about my first go at welding, body lift, suspension revamp, replacement t-box and everything else all passed. So as a complete amateur at all this I'm well chuffed

Got mine serviced and put through its MOT today. Yaaay
The only worry is that they struggled to get it past the emmissions test. They also noticed I have an aftermarket CAT on the vehicle (previous owners fitted it I expect) and may mean it's not doing the job as well as it should be.
Has anyone else had a similar issue and how did you overcome it?

Not today, but earlier in week
Took my 2013 in for MOT and flew through again, no advisories.
Whilst there got them to knock out the front diff filler plug and loosen the rear one.
Just need a day free to do my own fluids and filter changes.
