    Windlass style Winch

    I had a windlass on my series but it ran off the front pto, not hydraulic.

    Bruised thigh!

    Mudstyler, Can you explain what '90 degrees out' means? I keep tearing my trousers on mine :-)

    Rope around front of defender

    Alloys, big tyres, winch, roll bars, roof rack and a rope to tow it away! The pikeys will love all that.

    Pulled for going too slow on the motorway

    If you drove at 50-55mph on a 70mph dual carriageway on your driving test you would fail for 'failing to make good progress'. Driving on a motorway in a slow moving Land Rover is irresponsible, use the A roads.

    Fun in the snow

    My 90's heater is great after about 30 minutes and the gaps around the doors let the water trickle out. 100% :-)

    Insurance!

    It's not just the engine size, your age, new driver, type of vehicle, location all count against you. If you manage to get a quote it will be thousands. Try putting an old git with max no claims on the policy as a named driver. Not the other way round!

    A lake on my roof.

    Just like mine! Lay down on your back inside and push the roof up with your feet. If you are short, use a bit of lumber and a car jack to ease out the dent.

    Recommend a pedal lock

    I've got a clutch claw which is easy to use (after a few days) and well made. Not a total solution but every bit of extra security helps.

    Dynamat noise underbonnet on Defender

    Most of the noise from mine was being caused by loose bits and junk. There were coins behind everything, loose jack and wheel wrench, door cards loose, radio wobbly, A joint knocking, spare wheel rattling on the back door, dash loose, battery not secured. . . . I couldn't hear the engine! All...

    Dynamat noise underbonnet on Defender

    When I bought my hardtop it was lined with plywood. I ripped it out and removed all the floor mats and foot well linings. Most of the rattles were from the jack and dash. Oil change and diesel additive quietened the engine a bit.

    Dynamat noise underbonnet on Defender

    It's just a bit of foam with instructions. Any money spent trying to reduce noise or stop leaks on a Defender is wasted.
