I will give it a go. Thanks for the top tip!

I'm looking at a Scorpion Track from MobileZone Vehicle Tracking. At £289 fully fitted and with a £150 per year or £350 for life subscription it's pricy but effective. I had to put one on my caravan or I couldn't insure it! It works really well though and I have every confidence in it. I have...

Oh! Forgot to say your 90 looks great! I cant help but think that chequer plate on the sills is 'gilding the lily'. Surely rock/tree sliders would be better and would stop car door damage in supermarket car parks. Keep up the good work!

I go to an independant every time. There are a couple of good ones around here (Luton) but there are others elsewhere. Many are staffed by LR trained guys turned enthusiasts and they are great. When the steering box failed in an earlier Disco they (Autoland in Houghton Regis) were half the LR...

Mind you. My 1988 defender (Actually a 110 CSW) usually had a half-starved German Shepherd running loose in it!:D

Has anyone got any data on what the predominant age/Reg range of the stolen defenders is? I had a 1988 defender that had no security to speak of but my current 2002 defender 90 has a LR factory fitted Thatcham allarm and imobiliser. Surely that must deter some thieves? Any thoughts?

When they bring out a new Disco the prices of the previous ones plummet. It might be worth buying one of the last (current shape) defenders if the prices fall in the same sort of way. I'm not sure if I like the new model. It definately looks like a LandRover but nothing like a Series or Defender.

So right Top Drive! I was lucky this time but there's always another!

Well after a few weeks of soaking it with plus gas I finally plucked up the courage to give it a go. It was sheared below the level of the hub so I couldn't have got mole grips on it. I didn't bother taking the wheel or drive member off at all. I simply pilot drilled it with an 1/8" cobalt...

I would have just bought an Ifor Williams stock trailer and put the kids in that:D

It's probably the smartest looking car in the region as it is! Why not just reprotect (etch prime) the bare areas and leave it as it is?!

Etch deffo!

What? Buy a plane?!

There is a Defender water ingress manual available that details all the problem zones and what to do. I downloaded one after a search on this site so you could do the same. It tells you exactly where to look if you are experiencing water ingress and what to do. It is an official Landrover...

They are right. The trailer repeater is supposed to flash once then stop if it doesn't detect a trailer or continue if a trailer is plugged in and the corresponding indicator works ok

Lucky they weren't seized too!

'toeragstruckmats' on eBay do great rubber matting. I've just bought some for the back of my 90 and it was cheap and easy to cut to fit exactly. I finished it off with a 900mm section of edge trim from Wickes and it looks great!

I got an eBay set in a similar size for £315 on a decent set of modulars. Be patient and take your time or spend £700+ for a new set

Well Iv'e had my defender a month now so added some mods. First; Some Insa Dakar Muds on steels (Thanks Speedynick - eBay). Then; Britpart fold-up rear seats (Inside out 4x4 - eBay). Then; Rubber matting in the back (Toeragstruckmats - eBay) and finally this week; A new door lock switch (MPS...

You should have got a few helpers from the start because.......Many hands make light work! :D
