Cheers Jeremy, I'll let you know when I've installed it, from what I've seen it makes a big improvement and I would imagine the effect is even great in a HT. Mine came with carpet mats which would last long after being in a muddy forest so went with the deep sided rubber mats. Can't wait to see some photos of the new 'beast'  Cheers Ian

ginjez has black A pillar covers as his is a commercial, it seems that all the commercials come with black A pillars, I was just going to buy a set of commercial ones but as they are about £100 a side I've decided I'm just going to wrap mine   Cheers Ian

There isn't a lot of room if the truth be told and I haven't put anything in it yet
The only reason that it's there is because I ordered some stuff from Aliexpress in China and the seller messaged me and asked if I would like to add it to the order for an extra £5 so I just said yes as I was curious to see what it would be like. It may come in useful for somewhere to store my licence and insurance etc. Cheers Ian

Well been away for the past week visiting family in the Lake District and have now done approx 1200 miles without any real problems, I'm loving driving the car and the Matrix LED headlamps on the dark country roads are absolutely brilliant
 (and nobody has flashed at me ) The only problem I am having is the remote start not working as detailed in this thread.
I did the Old Coach Road last week on a fantastic day weather wise Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Also managed to fit a tablet holder today in preparation for a little green laning on Tuesday and next weekend Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Have a new CB and aerial on order which will hopefully come this week and getting a couple of the bits wrapped gloss black Cheers Ian

Took the car in today to have the A pillars wrapped gloss black and also the Signature Graphic (square thing on each side
 ) and the grille bar also, or full stormtroopers helmet as my daughter calls it now

Had a bit of time today so installed a new small cb and the Raised Air Intake. The cb was very easy to install as it is only velcroed to the underside of the centre console, the main controls are all on the microphone, I've installed an aerial using a RLD mount but am looking for a better way to route the wire down into the car. I have just installed a cheap aerial as I am away in Northumberland/Cumbria and Durham green laning this weekend, I had ordered a new SIRIO TURBO 5000 aerial but didn't read the website properly and it turned up without a connector on the cable and I can't get one locally.
I installed the RAI myself and didn't take the door off as per Land Rover's instructions, it can be done but a child with very small hands would come in useful to secure the bottom two bolts, fat arthritic hands make it difficult.

Another little job done today, replace the front and back silver Defender badges for gloss black ones from New Defender Parts, perfect match for the original ones and comes with a template to make fitting easy
