    Right-hand side is the way it was intended. When I used to smoke, I had an old MGBGT. They all had quarterlights (remember them?) and they had to be designed by a smoker as you can flick your ash out the window in the most inclement weather without getting wet. Since none of us are cack-handed...

    New Disco / Range Rover Sport

    I am new to this scene too and have recently purchased a new Defender 90. Why you may ask since I live in Suburbia? Well here is the logic. I have a 3yr old SAAB 95 Estate - very comfy, very quick and carries 5 and luggage on the rare occasions it is required. It is worth bugger all as...

    Fugawi UK OS Regional Digital Maps - Version 2 I purchased mine from www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk See http://www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk/fugawi-uk-os-regional-digital-maps--version-2-description.html Their service was very good but I'm sure it's also available elsewhere...

    Defender speaker upgrade

    Thats great news. Nice to have positive feedback from someone before you purchase. Halfrauds :D - Having worked in the motor trade in a former life, I do share your sentiment.They have the 9847R on offer at £199 including the Ipod Interface and free fitting. I know I could easily fit it myself...

    I have a Garmin Etrex Vista C which sits in a mobile phone mount with Cigar lighter to mini USB lead for power. We mainly use it for Geocaching (http://www.geocaching.com) as it's really portable. I load the Garmin MapSource maps into it for the appropriate areas. This does for map...

    Defender speaker upgrade

    Great info - thanks. MDF is an option - guess I'm just lazy!!! :D I was looking at an Alpine 9847R with Ipod interface box - had a squizz at Halfords and it seems quite good for the money.

    Defender speaker upgrade

    I have been looking into the same and whilst there is plenty of depth under the dashboard for enhanced front speakers the space in the rear is crap. I have been trying to source "speaker rings" or collars which are basically an adapter that mounts the speaker further into the passenger...

    External Temperature Gauge

    It's only 2 months old so nothing has dropped off yet. There are loads of other things i would like to upgrade etc. but I can only really afford a temperature gauge!!!! Decent stereo is next on the list. I play the drums badly - prefer Bass guitar but have played neither for Motorhead...

    External Temperature Gauge

    Has anyone fitted an external temperature gauge to their defender? If so, where did you get it from and where did you locate both it and the external sensor? :confused: All I can see is a tacky silvery model at my local Halfords but I am unsure as to where to locate either it or the sensor...

    increase defender bhp

    Has anyone any idea of the implications on insurance of re-mapping the ECU? I have heard of scare stories where if you haven't declared it, your insurance could be void in the event of an accident. :( Also, does anyone have any feedback on Dealers' views on re-mapping and its affect on LR...

    Storage and CD Player Questions

    Does anyone know where you can buy storage boxes for the rear of a 90 - ideally for behind the front seats to store some tools, clothing etc. out of sight? Also, does anyone know the power output of the Standard CD Player (or the power handling of the speakers) fitted to 05 model 90s? I...
