Nah Matt
I have been called many things on this board, not all of them nice, but i am Just a bit of a tinkerer, enthusiast, fellow member, and all round decent guy, just like you, Wiggs and many other members of this board
I also love my wife, dogs, job and Disco 3 and something else only Wiggs knows about in different orders on different days of course, don't we all. Well maybe not the job for others.
But i promise when i finally get to plug my logic 7 Amp in i will definitely love you the most on that day

I have the front PDC/fog loom left over which could be packed into the same box as the logic 7 amp
Much better than a garage

Ohhh
You hustler you, matt
If you have the front PDC / Fog wiring spare, then i can certainly make it as useful and famous as the rest of the re cycled bits i have used / scrounged here and give it a damned good home
Even Jerry Lee and Cindi, my assistants would be most thankful.
You know a couple of months back i attended my first ever off road type event hosted by the Cyprus Land Rovers club, where i also signed up as a member. I noted everyone else had a heavily modified defender. with their winches, uprated suspensions, snorkels and knobbly tires etc. Towards the end of the group driver pep talk the organizer introduced me as the new member and expressed that i had bought one of the new Disco 3's. They were great guys giving a bit of banter etc, and of course i gave as good as i got saying that i brought it in case they got in trouble etc and they expressed i obviously preferred my comforts etc.
Of course the D3 did me really proud on the day anyway, crawling merrily up anything and everything even many defenders could not traverse and we all ended in a barbie, beer and a laugh, as you do, but then that's all another story i may one day share.
But now I just can't wait for the next meet when i tell them how much i have since modified my D3, and how much better it is to cope with their off road events, I now have a built in sat nav, fridge, Park distance control, better stereo, bluetooth phone etc
That will obviously be another one of the days when i love my D3 more than anything else.

And there was me, worried about tapping into my main beam wiring for the LF's
Cracking job there Colin, Now all you need to do, is find the way to retro fit the active rear diff which of course is impossible to do....... isn't it......? Bodsys Brake Bible

Looking at the electrical reference manual, it shouldn't be that difficult. Only power, ign power and the HS CAN bus to the control module then the harness to the diff actuator and temp sensors, plus configuration changes.
Edit: Applicable to MY08+ but could be different for earlier models.
