Wheel adaptors, Howling Moon, Front Aux Lights, Floor slide
Due to my general stupidity I have rather a lot of "stuff" from unfinished projects... I have ran out of time as I spend all my spare time driving up and down the country picking up the crap I bought on eBay. I generally store it for a couple of years and then realise it is never going to get used! Here is my haul of D3 related stuff:
I am looking to dispose of:
Howling Moon Roof Tent (bigish one with ladder inside / under canopy - have the shower skirt too. Tent is like new (bought from another forum member - cover is tatty due to outside storage in previous life. I believe it is 2 years old. Last 6 months or so it has been stored inside. Pictures in my gallery)
I bought a set of genuine D3 Front lamps (ones with horizontal black guards) purchased agest ago as complete kit and can remember "borrowing" cable ties from kit for something. They were to go on my defender but sold it before I had a chance to fit. Now I have a G4 there is no need for them. Don't want to sell as a complete kit as it has been opened and I don't know if anything is missing. Both lamps are there though!
Genuine Land Rover D3 sliding floor... Was to supposed to take a big Engel fridge. Again bought from another forum member but my attempt at installing it didn't work. No idea why but it grinds horribly - I'm told there is an easy fix for this but easier still is to sell it as I had it for six months or so and haven't even sorted out fixings for the fridge. It is well used but pefectly useful.
Also got 2 wheel adaptors. They were bought as a set of 4 and two are currently used to fix D3 wheels onto a Sankey trailer, are ideal for fiting D3 wheels to Defender or earlyish land rover products. Think these are about £400 a set. I must have been daft. What is left over from my trailer project (see gallery) is a new pair waiting for someone else's odd project.
If anyone is interested in any of the above then send me a PM.
As a guide Aux lights £50, tent £800, sliding floor £150 but will go to highest bidder. If no luck here I'll eBay them but want to give forum members the first go.
I'm just North of Newcastle - will be at next Kielder event.
PS - will also be selling part worn 19" MTRs. As soon as I get my new set. Would be good for someone offroading occasionally but shod with road tyres day-to-day.

Lights I'm a bit concerned about as loads of interest but I really don't know what I have and don't want to sell something that isn't right. I'll get a parts list from GTR and come back with some answers for everyone.

Here is a picture of the lights... from the manual anyway.
I think I have everything needed to mount to either the grille / bumper or to the A-Frame if you have one fitted.
The only thing I can spot that is missing are 18 of the 20 cable ties. I seem to remember using them to seal suitcases and film gear before catching a flight.
The condition is good - obviously never been previously used. All the smaller fittings are still in their sealed wrappers.
Oddly there are two switches in the set that I have. No idea why - there is just the one (bottom centre) of the picture.
There is a heat sealed bag that is divided into sections A to F in each are smaller components like the nuts and bolts. Ominously section E has nothing in it. There is no hole in the bag and I can't see anything obvious that is missing but just to warn you!
I'll get a set of real photos done tomorrow and you can see for yourself exactly what is included.
I'm going to hold off on accepting any offers for the lights until I have posted good pictures as I don't want this coming back to bit me in the !

The bits above are the lighting kit. The mounting kit (either bar or bumper) is seperate. Is the second switch in the pack? Disco 5 HSE Lux
