Those guards look ok too Chas, they'd save a nudge from cracking the lenses again.

Yes Clive that was why I fitted them, the actual metal toobs are quite substantial, got them for a good price too, the only thing I am concerned about is if when green laning they get caught on the bushes, they only attach by the two small bolts that hold the lens from the inside, not very strong to withstand a sideways tug.

I've been having charging troubles and had assumed my newish alternator had failed .... on closer inspection found this ....
When I replaced the alternator I failed to check the condition of the lead adequately and it's rusted through and been bouncing around freely

Looks like that's sheared off there Grant. It will probably need a new regulator pack. Let me know if you need any assistance as I have a pall who rebuilds things like this.

It looks like you are right there. I thought I was just going to be able to make a new cable and bolt it back on.
Looking at this pic it definitely looks like I have more work than I thought.
The alternator was only put in at the end of June so I wonder what could have gone wrong for it to deteriorate like that. I'm sure that I wouldn't have over tightened it to the point of almost sheering like that.

The Flash Lune comes in the service kit, available from my place of work, West Coast Off Road we are the official importer of Terrain Tamer for the UK
Much as I'm sure you won't have over tightened it- it does look suspiciously like it's been over tightened. [emoji20] Easily done on 6mm studs.
Have a look at Woodypeck.co.uk, LED H4 replacement lamps with really good beams as direct replacements for the standard bulbs. Service is usually excellent from Steve there too. I have them in my 80. I have posted pictures on Clive's Angel eye HID thread here http://www.landcruiserclub.net/forums/showthread.php?t=53922
