I'm in - proud owner of a Defender 130 TD5 tipper that's been tickled by JE Engineering! Equipped on-board hydraulics and a snow plough for winter clearance work. [ATTACH]127830[/ATTACH]

I wish! It's an ex-central networks support vehicle (used to have a quad tech workshop body). Spec as follows:

jE Engineering td5 stage 1 (122bhp increased to 175bhp, 300 NM torque increased to 380 NM)

Webasto cab heater & heated seats / windscreen - for those very cold days! Lol

2500 watt heavy duty inverter with RCB & twin 13 amp sockets

Split-charge system with twin heavy duty batteries

Superwinch Husky10 with plasma rope

First Four PTO hydraulic system with 2 connections front & rear: 9 litres flow rate in 1st gear, 54 litres in 5th gear ( in theory). We mainly use 1 or 2nd gear to power a log splitter.

The Defender is serviced & maintained by the best specialists around - Foley Land Rovers (foleysv.com), they have replaced the Cat with a straight through exhaust, blanked off the EGR valve, & installed heavy duty coil spring all round to cope with the heavy towing & payloads, as well as a rearward facing camera.

In addition, the lights have been upgraded: indicators / sidelights/fog/reverse - are now LED, headlights feature OSRAM H4 Nightlighters, there is a pair of Lazer RS-4 LED Lightbars on the roof rack (supplied by Devon 4x4) - they turn night into day (6944 lumen per light!!)

Morning William, the snow plough is a manual affair that sits on a modified 3 point linkage - it's the Jake Wright snow plough. The hydraulics can only be used when the transfer box is in neutral and the defender is stationary. Looks good splitting logs though!

If anyone is interested we have 6no. 7.50x16 dumper tyres on LandRover rims for sale. They were bought to allow access to a woodland, but we use a tractor now.

My tipper solenoid has packed up

Only clicks when switch operated. Will go up if I short the two big terminals together and will come down on the switch.

Tried cleaning wires and contacts but no good.

Anyone know where to get a solenoid from?

 

Cheers..... Al

Al, try KMR Engineering on 01473822622, they built my tipping body so stands to reason they might have spares. Matt
