So since the last update we've been for a weekend in the Cotswolds (last weekend). Had a great time again, saw some cool towns and areas. Visited Clarkson's farm shop, saw some nice cars and bought some overpriced lager. Got some nice plastic pint glasses for the Defender though! So, onto the...

Last weekend we went camping for the long weekend. Luckily the weather held, for the most part! Friday we went to Goodrich Castle and Puzzlewood, staying at a campsite near Talgarth overnight. Saturday was a visit to a waterfall and a bit of a hike, back to the same campsite at night. Sunday...

Picking up momentum now with the Defender. We've decided to take her camping for the Easter weekend, so the goal is to get as much done before then as possible. Setting a trip date has worked great as instead of dawdling we're working towards a goal. To that end, here's what we've done/ in the...

Had a delivery of some bits from LR Parts on Monday, so started the task of fitting them today. Began with blasting 17tonnes of dirt, sand, and oil out from the chassis and underside. On the plus side, it looks a lot better than it did before! Sills looked a lot better then, at least I was able...

Yeah I was trying to find them for cheaper, but seem very hard to find! I’m worried they’ll eventually disappear as I presume they’re not being made anymore. Is the stick on insulation applied to the canopy/ roof, then the RadHaz put on over? Thanks!

Hey all, looking for some info/ feedback. I’m thinking about getting a RadHaz kit for my Tithonus 110, looks like I can pick one up for about £300. Just wondering if they’re worth it? Does anyone have one fitted? Do they make any difference in insulation temperature wise? Cut down on any...

Duly noted, thank you. I'll keep a close eye on them. I'm not too worried about them at the moment as it is a heavy Defender (3050kg) so could probably do with being a bit higher psi, and they're narrow MOD tyres so I'm hoping they'll be up to the task.

Today was a day of pottering, small jobs. Put air in the tyres, glad I did as there was less than 30psi in each. They're rated for 75psi at full weight, so I put a sensible 50psi each. I'll see how long it lasts. Installed some of the bits I bought at the GB LR Show in Stoneleigh, namely the...

Yeah now that I read back through that would make sense… for some reason I was stuck on Billing that someone else mentioned! Apologies :/

Looks like 2 days to me

Is Sunday the better day to go?

Will check that out, thank you! The one I was in I think was once green, 90% mud though as it was the end of the day! But yes it had ambers on.

Went to the GB Land Rover Show in Stoneleigh, Coventry today. Was great to see so many Defenders of all types there, from mid restoration, working vehicles, to immaculately restored and upgraded ones. Had a good look around the stalls and the "VIP Parking" for Landys, got lots of inspiration...

Went to the show today, my first one! Was great to see so many Defenders of all types there, from mid restoration, working vehicles, to immaculately restored and upgraded ones. Had a good look around the stalls and the "VIP Parking" for Landys, got lots of inspiration. Was good to see some of...

Today we got dirty (and also had a wash). Not as dramatic as a lot of people will have done, but it's our first and nearest. Great fun!

She's only gone and passed the MOT! 3 advisories, 2 of which are the rear tyres starting to perish, and the other is play in a track rod end! Definitely a win, absolutely delighted. Looking forward to having her out all weekend now without that hanging over me.

Yeah the bench on the right is staying, and I'm adding another beside it to keep the 4 seats in the back.

Nothing too exciting today, but did start the work on the removable bed in the back. ¾" plywood stretching across the gap, just resting on the metal at the moment. I will add some form of padding, thinking neoprene or rubber under the ends of the ply to stop them rattling/ even out the rough...

Ah the dizzying highs and lows of Defender ownership. Dropped it off this morning, was chatting to the mechanic about it's 'quirks' (MOD Defenders are in KM for mileage, and they also have a special knob that stops the lights working) and it turns out he's a massive fan of the ol' Defenders, and...

Fixed the left side high beam (ie the lack of it). I'm docking myself 1 LandRoverOwner® Point as I didn't investigate and diagnose the issue properly, but am awarding myself back the 1 LandRoverOwner® Point for eventually fixing it without too much hassle. Turns out the bulb wasn't making a good...
