    Rear (safari) door - key won't turn

    When I bought my 90 it came with an ignition key, a key for the passenger door, a key for the drivers door, a key for the fuel filler cap and 3 more keys, none of which did anything in the rear door lock. All the barrels are fairly easy to change (I think I had trouble with the back door as not...

    110 Defender stolen from Virginia Water - Surrey

    Hey fella, Sorry to hear that. Dont give up on it being found just yet. Do you have any pictures or description of the vehicle so people can keep an eye out for you. Also post it to Landywatch. Steve

    Disc locks

    Yeah. Unfortunately it is parked in an industrial area. They cut the gate off with a petrol stihl saw so they seemed to go more big and loud than sneaky sneaky. By the indentations in the disklok it looked like a decent sized screwdriver. I suppose once they have the door open a disklok spins on...

    Roof bars / rack

    I put Rhino Bars on the Defender. They were alright. Nice and strong and came with a rubber strip to protect the gutters.

    Disc locks

    Hi, They peeled a genuine disklok off of my steering wheel when it went. You can see pictures of the damage to the wheel they caused in a thread below. When I was beating it back into shape to refit the metal took some shifting but it is definitely doable. Steve

    Although it would be better for you if the man made it better I feel the rest of us would miss out

    X Defend Pedal Lock fitted (with Pics!)

    I shall give it a look. To be honest I'm not sure even if I did fit it whether I would actually use the latch.

    X Defend Pedal Lock fitted (with Pics!)

    Can't say I've noticed. It might push it in a bit. Yeah, it locates perfectly every time I close it. It seemed a bit clunky on the bench while putting together. But now it is fitted it is a breeze.

    Defender Stolen Sheffield City Centre Late 6th Jan / Early 7th Jan

    Hi, Yeah, they had ground numbers off Axles, Engine, Chassis, Gearbox, Transfer Box and took both plates off. There was nothing in the vehicle that proved it was ours. It came down to things like my keys fit the Doors/Ignition/Fuel Filler Cap. Also things like it being dinted in the same places...

    X Defend Pedal Lock fitted (with Pics!)

    Having got the Landy back from Direct Line after its theft we have started adding more security to it. One of the things (I wont list all additions for obv reasons) we have added is the X Defend Pedal Lock. I had a look at a few pedal locks and felt that although others were cheaper and...

    Organised thefts of LRs in the North East

    Good stuff. I've been stopped late at night by South Yorks police and asked to produce keys and ID twice in the last year. I never complain and ask them to stop the vehicle everytime they see it.
