I used a defendoor when I went to Norway in Feb and kept a lightly oiled rag over the fuel filler cap ... on advice from the LR club in Norway, it fell off a few months ago, just ordered a couple of new ones and will fix them properly link LRA/Darren has when they arrive.

Sorry to sound naďve but what exactly is the problem you guys are trying to solve with the fuel filler caps? Cheers, David

When on the plains or on a green lane, the caps can get a fair bit of muck around them, a defendoor just keeps the cr@p out of the lock. In arctic conditions, keeping an oily rag over the top of the filler cap, keeps the lock working, and you have a rag to wipe your hands with Thumbs Up

Only recurrent problems I have in cold weather are the door locks freezing (I have to go through the safari door & squirm onto the front seat) & the handbrake taking time to unfreeze once I get the engine running. With the latter problem, would an X-Engineering handbrake disc be less likely to freeze-seize, or more? Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world.

Door locks........spray them with a silicon lubricant or such other
Handbrake...........leave it off but in a low gear.
