Missed a few updates - the leaks from behind the door shut have been sealed under warranty. This seems to affect all current 90s that I have seen, so if it bothers you, get it looked at )

Any chance of some more info about this 'leak' point please? I am installing some dyna-mat soon and don't want water sitting underneath it long term!

Cheers, Pete

I'd like to know more about this as well. Is there water ingress in the cabin or is it simply that when you open the doors, after rain, that you see water draining out onto the ground?

See my thread here: http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic36789.html

No it's not just water running onto the floor

I don't think it would affect a 110 but do check...

Just noticed the north Wales registration number. Did you buy from Conwy LR?

Had good service from them, and just taken delivery of a 110 SW.

Yes it came from Conwy, a breath of fresh air to deal with compared to what I've experienced locally!

Needs a wash and I'll sort some more

Toying with SVX wheels but can't justify the spend at the minute

Yes that's them. A few sets have been listed here, and as I'm not heading down the black wheels/black grille/black glass/black roof look with it they might look OK?

Plenty of fresh air in North Wales in more ways than one!

Having a muck about with the wheels/tyres off the soft top...

Click image to enlarge

Quite like it, a different route to big brake kits and 18" wheels

Only done 30 miles but the BFG ATs seem more compliant and it handles way better. I need to check the tyre pressures in the Contis

What pressure are you running the BFG ATs at?
