So the defender hasn't arrived but i thought i would collect some parts to keep me occupied while waiting for it to arrive.

I still need to think of a location to mount the fuse board, the usb socket is going to get mounted to the cubby box, along with the "ram" mount i have for my iPad

Fuse box under the drivers seat - this is a 2.4 so yours will look a little different

Probably worth waiting to buy the 'insert' in case they change the cubby box, as has happened from Td5 to Puma and Puma to Sub box Puma

Had a Phone call off the dealer today to tell me my car is getting built on the 1st December 2013, and should be with me by the 15th or 20th

EXCITING TIMES Laughing Shocked

Well Lewis, You are a lucky man.
Our 90 was ordered 5th June, built around 3-9/9, was put on a ship (The Tiger) 19/9, & is currently on its way to Melbourne, where it is expected to arrive 26/10, then I suppose a week or so until it arrives at our dealer!
Cheers, Pickles.

I had to change the name on the policy from my grandfathers to my own as im buying the defender Private and not through the company. They told me when i receive the voucher to call them up so they can change the policy back to my grandfathers name (i explained this to the dealer, they say it happens quite often). Luckily we share the same address. But for you. I think it would be easier for you to buy the defender in your partners name?

It was simple for me as we insure 5 cars on the same policy, so it was just a case of changing the name.

My explanation may not be the greatest, as i didn't spent too much time in school Laughing


But its worth doing as it has saved me £1300, and for some reason the dealer gave me another 5% off, so in total, ive saved £2600 off the cost of the defender

Hope i've helped
