How does one do this?! Front you mean?
The VW "99" switch - just unplug the LR one and swap it for the VW one. Works a treat!

My favorite mod is my s3 headlight bezels and the most useful is my nato tow hook. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

Wind in the steering lock stops. Made a huge difference on my 110. Kicking myself I didn't do it eighteen months sooner. Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless.

zone30, since yours is a still recent truck, and if you care to keep it for the longer, get it Dinitrolled first. It has already been said here that you can do it yourself, but if you want to outsource it to a real specialist, here is my recommendation for a first class garage not far away from you. Obviously that will cost you a bit more than 250£...

As to the next mod under 250£, replace all screws, nuts and bolts all around by SS of the likes of Nakatanega, Stig Fasteners, other......

Your truck will thank you for it years from now when no rust will appear Thumbs Up You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

I still have to tick that box myself. Turning circle of the 130 is complete madness.

Does this work on puma defenders? What does it involve? Is it worth it? Cheers, David

Yes, 1/2 hour with (preferably 2) jacks and a spanner, and yes.

It shouldn't need doing since the stops should be correctly set, but I've never yet met one set right on PDI.

If you want the increase the range of your remote key, just hold it against your head while using it.
Must be the cheapest mod ever Mr. Green

Without doubt the best Mod and one that cost nothing but 15 mins of getting dirty was taking out the steering stops. Completely transforms the low speed drivability.

Now at least, I don't have to do 10-Point turns to park it Whistle
