Park it in the garage, and only drive it on nice days, SIMPLES

thanks for that it had crossed my mind to do that but a land rover is ment to be able to handle all weathers

The land rover is handling all weathers, it's the owner that isn't

Buy a mac!!! I use one. It works !!!!!

Don't worry they all leak get used to it

They do indeed tend leak like a sieve. Land Rover actually had to produce a 'water ingress manual' to take care of the problem. Leaks can be cured but it's a complete botch to sort. Dumdum putty, silicone sealant and tape are what it takes. I feel happier knowing that I haven't got that stuff hidden everywhere!

lol - (my new to me) defender leaks in many places - doesnt bother me as long as the seat is dry when I get in

I get a lot of driving rain where I live which is handy in the defender

It's a battle you won't win, but tif you're up for the challenge, there's a Defender Water Ingress document

A search shoiuld find it for you - tells you all the places to check, and materials to use

I got bored of trying to fix mine so I just painted the roof and sills with waxoyl that I had left over from coating the chassis. Amazingly the leaks stopped for now. But then my landy is 27 years old and so I am less worried about painting it with a brush and waxoyl than perhaps you would with a nice shiny new one!

If your Landy is like a swimming pool, have you thought about fitting a jacuzzi and re-routing the heater pipes to keep it warm?

Sorry ... Forgot to say :welcome2: and enjoy the forum.

Do the heaters on noooo ones work then,

Oldseadog · Oct 11, 2011

They should work well enough to keep the tub full of water warm. You don't want it too hot, do you??

Blimey, mine is so full of holes that it would not hold enough water to make a pool. It flows out as fast as it flows in!!
