Hi bionicmunky,
Security is more the better, you won't always be in the Cul-De-Sac, pedal lock and steering lock are in my option the bare minimum. I would invest in one of the tracking devices available from Forum Sponsors as well. Happy Driving Nobby _______________________________ Puma Defender 90 |

welcome bionicmunky
Killer (sponsor) can help you with dinitrol/waxoyling, he's not far from you. Security ... get as much as you can, do a few searches on here and you will get the idea. Get both physical and electronic. Pedal locks, steering wheel disk loks, removable steering wheel, x-eng ignition shield, bonnet cable (to properly secure your bonnet), tracker (more Ł the better), window and panel etching, change your hinge bolts to security ones, and/or fill with ball-bearings or something to stop them from being removed. It's a shame but defenders get pinched and quite often never seen again, so if you do lots of mods, make sure they are insured 
as for extras... take your time and enjoy the retail chase - there's lots of people very happy to sell you stuff ... |

First, welcome to the forum.
What to do first? Security and protection as your neighbours CCTV does not help at 3am in the morning with vehicles on false plates! Modify/add to existing alarm and buy a good tracking system (approved ones get insurance discount) Physical security, steering lock, pedal lock, gear lever lock, bonnet hinges etc. Protection in form of waxoyl etc but ensure doors etc are done. Enjoy the vehicle and work out how YOU are going to use the vehicle first before rushing out on your retail spending splurge. Brendan |

Trackers are fine, provided there are places to conceal them in the shell-like Defender that does not seem too obvious, and also does not obstruct its signal. Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy.

Without saying exactly where mine is, behind the rear speaker panels, in the wings, seat box, under the cubby, near the alpine lights etc are all options Cheers, David
