    Defender wind deflectors

    Hi all, I have wanted some wind deflectors for some time, and picked up some Terrafirma ones for the defender. I am somewhat disappointed to see that they... stick on the outside of the door panel!? I was hoping for some that fitted into the window and were seamless. Save me wasting any more...

    Range Rover Classic - Is it worth it?

    Hi all, I have a defender TDCi which is awesome, but I kinda have the bug now. With interest rates at rock bottom, I thought it might be worth 'investing' (LoL) in RRC - at least I can enjoy it! Anyway, that aside, my research seems to indicate that they are even bigger rot boxes than...

    Insulation & Ply lining

    Hi all, I have had a good read of the threads here regarding insulation and ply lining. From that I feel the best way forward would be to insulate the rear arches, windows and roof. I still don't seem to have a consensus on what to do to firm up the base of the rear. Would it be worth just...

    Hi all - I picked up some headed mirrors from MUDstuff and new mirrors secondhand/new. However it has not got the wiring harness.

    Possibly the best defender camper i have ever seen.

    This has to be the best camper i have ever seen. Looks a touch bigger than a standard 110, but with the space of an ambulance and some - best of both worlds. Well worth a watch! Bet he will be inundated with build requests.

    Couldn't even manage 200 miles!

    Because obviously its me. I am cursed with land rovers. The nice 'new' (to me) 2009 defender hasn't lasted 200 miles before wobbly mirror engine management light. Seriously! Engine management is totally going to be EGR valves, came on as ticked over 73k. Like it was programmed to! and the...

    Defender Security

    Hi all, Hopefully about to pick up a new defender (to me) nearly 2 years after the last one was stolen. Obviously i am a bit neurotic about the next one going. It is a Puma TDCI, so my preferred pedal lock (the built in drop down one) is not an option. Obviously i have had a look and done...

    Discovery - things to look for / avoid

    Hi all, I have now accepted that i just can't afford to replace the defender after it was stolen, and having looked at some lovey toyotas i think i am ready to make the terrible and costly decision to stick with land rover - despite having had the 'experience' of D3 and a defender. I have...

    Well done Flux

    So, for the first time ever my renewal quote has been cheaper than shopping around. Normal procedure is that i get a renewal (from whoever i am with) and then the first place i call (either Sky insurance or Flux) can always beat it like for like. So i alternate insurance between the years with...

    The defender club wave

    Ok, So i have had the defender a few months (i think!) and even on the first day of ownership i got 'the wave'. I hope you know what I'm talking about - whenever another defender is out i get a wave, and of course I wave back! I used to get this with the honda del sol - but they are a rare car...
