    Protecting the wheel arches in a new Defender Utility

    It definately needs something to make it a bit quieter - every time a stone hits underneath it makes me jump - our old dog will hate it. Oh, wish I'd asked earlier :rolleyes: I know, I know, defenders are supposed to be scratched, dented and filthy; but I just want to keep Missy as good as...

    :D Now that is a good suggestion - don't think they dogs would be too impressed tho! :D

    Thanks for the tip, but the nearest Costco is miles away and I don't have a card.

    Oh seats . . . that makes sense then. Just a shame no-one that I spoke to seemed to know the reason :rolleyes: The rubber treadplate looks good, thanks for that! Do you happen to know where it can be bought? I have googled it but can't see anything like your picture.

    I suggested that to my hubby, but he wasn't keen as he doesn't think it will come off again if needed - I'm not sure why that would be a problem, but hey, I'm female, what do I know :lol:

    I think you might be right - I was being lazy and trying to find something that would just go straight in, with as little agro as possible. :o

    I don't really want carpet as it clings onto dog hair and is harder to keep clean. Neither Exmoor Trim or Nene Overland have anything and I'm just waiting to hear back from a ply-lining company to see if they can help. Even Landrover themselves can only supply carpet for it.

    Protecting the wheel arches in a new Defender Utility

    We have a 2013 Defender Utility, which has nothing protecting the paint on the wheel arches in the back :rolleyes:. Because Landrover has now made them with a stupid step in them, instead of a straightforward square, we are struggling to find a good way of protecting them from dog claw...

    Camping

    Ditto a Caravan :D We tried the camping lark, but I like my home comforts too much and I got really fed up with having to keep packing and unpacking everything. I managed to persuade my OH that it's much easier to just hook up and go :cool:

    Should I buy a Defender 110 Utility . . .

    Thanks everyone! I did test drive the L200 but I wasn't keen on that, or the new Ford pick-up. I do have the Landy bug tho, so am probably slightly biased ;) It's going to be mostly used for just pottering about locally (I don't get out much :o) and the odd holiday towing a caravan. Hubby was...

    Should I buy a Defender 110 Utility . . .

    Hi. I'm new to the forum and am struggling to make up my mind. We have had Defenders in the past and are currently thinking of selling our Navara to replace it with a new 110 Utility. We have two kids and two dogs and need a vehicle that we can buy on the business. Has anyone got any good or...
