    Defender 110 Seat upgrade.

    Don't know whether this is still an open query, but I fitted some of these this weekend, and while they are obviously far from cheap, as far as I am concerned they are worth every penny. Good hold, infinitely more comfortable than my beaten up standard seats, and a nice high driving position...

    Nato hitch trailer delivery from Lincolnshire to Hampshire

    Have just picked up a Penham General Lightweight trailer at the MOD auction at Colsterworth, and need to get it from there to near Liphook in Hampshire (GU35). As per the title trailer has a Nato hitch, but is good to go. Not looking for a freebie - very happy to pay any sensible rates. Anyone...

    I put this post up in a thread in the 110 section, but someone suggested I should post some pics in here - wish I had found this section and thread before! Anyway, here is my effort at some storage for the back of my td5 ...

    DIY storage drawer for 110

    I had the same concern, although the base is 12mm ply and is rebated in to all four walls of the drawer, and there is no noticeable movement at all even when heavily loaded. I bought some aluminium angle to reinforce the drawer base if it moved too much - if over time it starts to sag I can...

    DIY storage drawer for 110

    Nice one! Are you going for a drawer at the back and then a storage bin behind it, or will that just be a space you can access from the middle seats? I'm sure you have it in mind but don't forget the right hand side has to be offset so that the drawer will clear the rear door hinge when it opens...

    DIY storage drawer for 110

    So I was keen on the idea of a rear storage area for my 110. Right up until I saw the price! Gulp. Figured I would knock one up instead. It's probably been done a million times before, but figured I would post some pics in case it gave anyone else considering similar some ideas... Basically...
