We might not have known it at the time, but this would be the start of what would become a global symbol of durability, adventure, and […]
The old seatbelt was removed from the nearside rear of the 2010 Land Rover Defender 90. A new belt was fitted and securely fixed in place. The belt was pulled out and plugged into the seat. All fixings were checked with a spanner and confirmed to be secure. Caps were then fitted to the nuts.
Jonn test assembled the new roof tent which has now been installed on our Defender. Once it was set up and photographed, he then took the tent down and folded it away. He then fitted the weatherproof cover and secured it.

The old washer jet was taken out and replaced with a new one. The frame and centre dash panel were then refitted. All switches were reconnected, and their […]
Finding replacement seat belts for my Defender 90 is trickier than I first thought. Of course, I want and I need them to be legally safe to be fitted in the rear of the car but I didn’t realise just how many options are on the market and how wrong you can be. So I’ve […]
New rear red reflectors were fitted to our 2012 Land Rover Defender 90. The washer jet was removed and replaced, secured by bolting it through the bulkhead. Additionally, the centre dashboard was stripped as part of the work.
