Trailer 'test'? What? Shouldn't I have been pulling a trailer without some other piece of paper? I was sure you didn't need one?

... Anyone shed any light? Cheers, David

I fitted a black Exmoor Trim hood. Looks very good from the sides and everything is on the right place but on the back the fit is very sloppy.

What am I doing wrong! Sad

Assume its new?

If so then keep it tied and strapped with rear down as in picture and let it get wet, allow it to dry naturally and you'll get some natural shrinkage. This will make it seem to fit better and look less baggy.
DO NOT roll rear up until it has weathered as the canvas will shrink and you wont be able to get the bottom to reach the hooks on the tailgate again !!

Wee run up past the SSE windfarm at Drumderg. Think the defender2.net sticker is a little too subtle though...

You haven't tied up the back flap properly. The rope on the back is supposed to go through those holes in the backflap. For the rest, wet it down every day and let it dry out. it will shrink to fit.

Also you should tension the rope tying the flap to the tailgate way more. See the video link to the exmoor "how to" below.

Here a pic of mine just fitted. Hope you can make out the rope going from the back top through the flap.

Exmoor has a couple of videos on how to do a canvas cover. It's on a Series 3, but same principle applies.

Thanks for the advices! I have tightened things up and changed the routing of te ropes, it looks better allready.

The next few days I will use the water hose on it and show you the results. 2021 Defender 110 D300 HSE

installed updates on the garmin ... another 5gb file but no problem with sky fibre


Last quarterly update was a right cock up by Garmin - hope this one is a lot better?

The 2014.10 update Censored my Garmin up the other day as I foudn out today when I went to use it. Plugged it in and used Express earlier this evening with update 2014.20 and downloaded and installed and more importantly works perfectly.


I seem to have missed the 2014.10 update. Last update was 2013.41. Downloaded the 2014.20 yesterday and not only was it relatively fast but also very painless. Thumbs Up

You were lucky then it well and truly kupput my Nuvi with that update. 90% done or there abouts and kept failing. Ultimately removed all the maps so it was useless basically until the next update the 2014.20 which went on and installed and worked perfectly.
I don't know why they are putting down the updates as 2014 anyway? We aren't even there yet. Shocked ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️
