1993 Defender 110 200 Tdi SW Montpellier Red

Central Lock kit/alarm

Tried searching, but didn't find much useful.

Found a lot of different cheap flea-bay vendors selling central lock kits, some of which are advertised for Defenders. Any recommendations on particular brands? Any thing to stay away from?

It would be nice to have one integrated with an alarm. I already have the door plungers (actually two sets for some reason) and an alarm installed, but my truck didn't come with the fob so I'm pulling out the mystery alarm soon.

Hawk do a good central locking kit, I retrofitted it on my 02 90.

As for tying it into the alarm I don't know on other types but on the TD5 you can buy a lil relay off ebay (£15) to solder on to the 10AS alarm unit then activate central locking via a Nanocom. Or you can send your 10AS unit away for the relay to be soldered on for a bit more.

If its an older model then I believe Hawk do an all inclusive unit with an alarm system.

Just bought a Hawk 2-way setup on ebay. We'll see how it goes!

Plus 1 for the Hawk kit, over time it does succomb to the same problems as a genuine fitment in that the wires between the doors and pillars break through the constant flexing but with a bit of patience when fitting the solonoids and rods they will give years of service. One tip would be is to leave plenty of slack in the pillar so when you get any hassle with broken wires you can pull more out of the pillar and rejoin

I had the exact same problem! My "solution" was to wrap the cables in braided nylon sheath and run the wires tight across the door stay, so the cable moved with the door stay and couldnt get jammed with minimal flexing.
