There is a very easy fix for most of the defender water leaks, its one not in the official water ingress manual, and it work most of the time. Its simple really just dont drive them when its raining 
. If its only leaking water inside then you dont really have any worries mine drips on to your right foot I drove it up to the Lake district last year and it rained for about half the journey good job I had waterproof boots on .

Mine does this on the drivers side and drips,well runs all over me leg, you might find the roof window is leaking and it sits on the roof ledge inside then when you brake it all runs down, it's one of those things with a fender they all leak
you can try and fix the leaks or like the rest we just live with it you'll get used to it mate

It's the top windows most the time, I haven't got them and mine doesn't leak at all, not till you open the door anyway then there's the obligatory waterfall on your leg!

Mine seems to get under the roof lining as soon as a brake it drips out the roof lining haha!! I can also see through the corner of my drivers door as it doesn't meet at the top I'm now learning just to accept the doors **** like **** and It leaks! My 2009 iveco daily also leaks so its not just defenders lol

One atb and one locker, but not normal ones and surprised they came in ashcroft boxes because there made by quaife, just waiting for the shafts and cv's then will spend some time pinning the diffs and setting them up, then time for a little play and see how they do
cant wait!!!!

Thanks, I will fit in yourself. If you have things to do next week I can just get on with it if you don't mind me in the workshop by myself.

Thanks Nick, don't think it's a difficult job just a bit time consuming having to remove rad etc, hardest bit will be getting the pulley bolt out as you have to try and stop crank turning, will have to make something up before hand.

sure we can quickly knock something up on the day, quite often making locking tools have pillar drill, welder gillotine small pressbrake etc should be quite easy
oh dear, snapped a shock earlier today and later on in the day my truck started running lumpy and even slower (like it was mis firing) - popped the bonnet and a strange knocking noise! - so I'm off the road (only had it a bloody day) possibly an injector apparently! had AA man recover me home and now its waiting further investigation...

this might be the reason for my max speed of 60mph (also it might be something to do with the egr thing, that hasn't been blanked yet)
rocker valve clearance??
theres no smoke coming from exhaust, so maybe NOT the injectors!
maybe the cam belt has slipped a couple of teeth
any other ideas??
