What's this thing for?
In the photo below of the new Anniversary V8 you will notice a small black plastic attachment on the headlining, just above the window fastening for the sliding windows, just beside the top of the driver's seat. What is it, what is it for? I have one and have no idea. I'm thinking alarm sensor? Could be, as often am, wrong Whistle

Ultra Sonic Sensor - part of the alarm. My 50th has one (two!) so they have been around a while

Good to see they are genuine parts. Gives me more confidence that these trucks are theft proof. Whistle
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Except, as mentioned elsewhere, the immobiliser due to compatibility issues with the engine. Darren

I think the more recent keyless systems are looking more of a liability though...

My bald spot, not the sensor Thumbs Up
