I'm well happy with my Noco GB40.
A word of caution, I originally bought a cheap alternative from Amazon to save a little money.
When I needed to use the cheap alternative the jumper cable caugh ... |

That's hilarious, personally I wouldn't change it.
I thought perhaps of changing the spelling on mine, but then I remembered I have Land Rover on the bonnet not Defender. |

Puma_MOG, I know exactly what you mean by obsessing over the readings! 
For the 5 years or so I've had my 2013 SW, it has actively regenerated about every 115 miles.
The soot level is normal ... |

That's a fair point, it does disadvantage anyone who lives in a more remote location.
I live in a fairly rural area, but at the end of a bus route so I'm fortunate to have the option. |

Wouldn't a pay per mile approach be a fairer system & better for the planet?
I use public transport during the week for work & enjoy my defender at weekends and for trips away.

Are there any issues with insurance or DVLA when changing the type of engine ?
Or is it pretty straightforward ? |

I totally missed the naf bit of plastic.
All I saw was the  poor parking.
Could this be the driver's idea of off-road? |

Personally I don't see the appeal.
One of the joys of driving my defender is that it doesn't have one of these modern digital displays.
It would be like driving my wife's Qashqai ! |
