Hi,
And welcome!
Exciting times ahead.....

The audio upgrade I had was the alpine subwoofer which fits on the back of the cubby box. (£150)
It makes a real difference to the sound....but the speakers were still not quite up to it for me.
So I fitted four new Focal speakers and tweeters with a crossover unit. (Pics earlier in thread)
Now excellent Thumbs Up

The tweeters are the 2 small speakers that sit on the top of the dash.

Focals are aftermarket.original LR are unbranded.

Sawtooths direct from LR. ( I couldn't specify them so bought them upfront)

Been through all the Land Rovers/Range Rovers, how do you find the latest defender as everyday car?

Well it's not my everyday car....
I love it...but use it for evenings and weekends.
MY15 is a vast improvement over all previous years in many respects but still gives 28mpg.
It is quieter, smoother and more refined than ever before.

I'm fortunate to have a BMW 5 series for everyday...
But always smile when I jump back in my Defender Very Happy

Yes you are right. Thumbs Up

"just clip on" is how described but is a bit of an understatement!! Rolling with laughter

They are tough to fit, took a while..and made my fingers ache. I have a set of plastic trim tools which I think are essential to fit well.

At £18 I'm really pleased with the results. An easy option is complete mirror heads @£40

Clemmo,

Cool truck... looks the 'dogs'! Very Happy

Can you please tell me where you got the gloss mirrors from?

Hi Supacat,

I have owned and driven Land Rovers for over 30 years.
I am an Automotive Engineer for BMW Power Train..( yes..never has gone down well with my boss!)

I've had all Defender types right back to Series. I love them all. They all have a story too!
( Ive tried Discovery and Freelander too)

I loved my 300 Tdi CSW a lot...I thought it was a massive improvement at the time.
I loved it even more when I sold it for more than I paid for it!!!
So then I had a Puma 2.4. It was nice, very nice..but obviously much different in terms of engine Technology.
For me it did all I needed and I would have happily kept it forever.
Then came the announcement of Defender demise.
I was in a position to change..so I did. The 2.2 would be my final Defender purchase.
No regrets at all. Not such a dramatic change from the 300 to Puma but a few subtle changes just make the difference.
It is without doubt quieter and more refined and the build quality has improved.
It "feels" better as a package.
Of course its not perfect..we all know that!

Just my thoughts Thumbs Up
