I change my spare summercoat for a spare wintercoat and make sure I have something to get the ice off the window. Do you need to do anything else? Roel

I always give it a mini service every month or so, top up fluids, grease props etc if you haven't done that in a while it will be worth doing, make sure your screen wash is correctly mixed so it doesn't freeze and ensure your coolant is also the correct ratio. A warm coat, some snacks/water a good torch with new batteries, gloves/hat, hi-viz.
As you have said you have had dinitrol applied it will be worth checking it over incase any bits are wearing thin and touch up as needed. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html 90 V8 - Maggie http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic42564.html 110 TD5 - Buggsy http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic59029.html 52HG25 lightweight https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72342.html D3 Hse - Fiona Capri 2l S - Anna Think I might have a problem............ |

And here is a guide how to remove the sheep poo from you truck.....
1. Mix half liter of liquid hand dishwashing detergent and half liter of white vinegar with two buckets of warm water. 2. Using a clean white cloth, sponge the poo remains with the detergent/vinegar solution. 3. Blot until the liquid is absorbed. 4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until the poo disappears or is no longer absorbed into the cloth. 5. If the poo remains, use an eye dropper to apply hydrogen peroxide, and then generously apply ammonia. 6. Sponge with cold water and blot dry. 7. Reapply Dinitrol 
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

ACF50 under cappings etc and as others have suggested above.
I can definitely recommend Motul Apple wash from Opie for screen wash. No Guts, No Glory. 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰💪 |
