Had a new Roof rack fitted today. Did lots of research on this forum (thank you) and decided to go with the Patriot as great quality and the ladder does not require any drilling. Very happy.

Picked up the newly blasted bonnet chequer plate. It now has a bow in it. I can only assume due to the heat.
Some how I need straighten this out 
TBF, I was warned it might bow...but still 1999 Defender TD5 110

Fitted a new battery to my dcpu
Before I could do that I had to break into the bloody thing, as the battery was dead, central locking therefore wouldn’t operate, then to add insult to injury, the key didn’t operate either of the front door locks 
Had to break the lock in the sliding rear window, remove the canopy to unlock the rear door from inside Total dick dance  My confidence has been writing cheques that my abilities can't cash for years. |

Had a similar problem with my Disco 2 a couple of weeks ago. Previous owner had changed the lock barrel on the door so that the ignition key did not operate the lock.

Believe me, on the Defender there are much quicker and easier ways to get in, but I won't be airing them on a public forum. 
Not quite so easy on a Disco2 with deadlocks, but still easier than it should be. |

Unless you have a method of getting the electrics live,from the outside.
Trust me, I had no other way of getting into it
Replacement part is about 8quid from memory, as I replaced it last year  My confidence has been writing cheques that my abilities can't cash for years. |

Popped to the tip for a Defender orgy....
But these photos amplify what I love about pre-2016 ‘Defenders’. Three 110s, all different models, all different specs, all modified to personal tastes, all unique but all identifiably the same, iconic vehicle. No chance of that same variety with the 2020 Defender. JLR threw away one of the most attractive aspects of Defender ownership (modification/personalisation) ironically in an era where people are looking to mod and individualise unique vehicles (look at the success of Triumph) evermore.

Could hook a spare battery up to the alternator or starter terminals with some jump leads, that would power the system to enable you to power the central locking. Or alternatively just pop one of the rear 1/4 light windows out, they can usually just be pushed in by hand. |
