2014 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 SW Keswick Green

While you're in there...

I've just ordered a load of sound deadening for my 110. So a significant strip down of the interior is on the cards, although I'll probably tackle it in stages rather than in one hit. This will include removing the dash, headlining, door cards etc.

Are there any normal/known issue type jobs that I'd be mad not to tackle at the same time?

My wipers are a little bit clunky/noisy, so I'm thinking of replacing the wheel boxes.

I don't really want to go chasing extra jobs (and am a bit budget limited at the moment), but would hate to find out something important (or cheap and easy to do with everything stripped down) just after I've put it all back together.

It's a 2014 2.2 110 CSW.

Any ideas welcome.

Cheers

Fitting a third interior light over the second row seats is a worthwhile mod whilst you've got the headlining out, as is installing wiring for anything else you might want to add (worklights, reversing camera, dash cam, etc.).

If you're going to the trouble of taking the dash out then wiper gubbins is a good call as is an upgraded washer jet, or perhaps a twin jet conversion.

I'd start with the headlining and back body as the difference with these areas insulated is marked and you might decide to limit how far you go with the rest of the vehicle. Mine's a USW so was more tinny to start with but whilst I do have plans to do more when time allows, it's as far as I've got at the moment. The improvement was so great that doing the rest has moved much further down the priority list. There's some detail of what I've done here: https://www.defender2.net/forum/post711655.html#711655 Darren

thanks.

Good shout on the extra interior light. I'll have a look into that.
And extra cabling is also a good idea. I'll be upgrading the stereo at some point, so could run some of the cables while I'm at it.

That's quite a thread you have running on your USW! Some really helpful stuff in there.
