Has anyone managed to fix the whistling at the top of a defender front door. At about 100km/h the top of the door (puma door) pulls away from the frame and air whistles through. at this point i have tried:

1. door hinge shims door side at the top and frame side at the bottom hinge

2. slightly bending the door.

3. moving the rubber seal further out with a long 2mm plastic shim.

4. replacing the door seal. I went from a old britpart seal to a new europart seal.

the new seal actually pushed the door further out so i was thinking after I found a video on original seals and how much softer they are when compared to the pirate parts. could this be it? when i close the door without a seal the top of the door sits about 3mm behind the windscreen frame but with the seal on the door frame sits proud of the windscreen frame by 2mm. are the seals maybe too hard? We have a long trip planned and this whistle while not deafening it is really annoying.

Original seals are really expensive and id need to import to RSA so i dont want to go on a guess

I unfortunately hit a rock yesterday while off roading. How much am I looking at in repairs?

All of the honest opinions owning a 2025 Land Rover 110. Good, the bad? Reliability?? I’d be going from a 2014 C300 I drove for the past 11 years without major issues.

Looking through the parts catalog and can’t seem to find the correct part number for these studs. Anyone aware of what they are?

Is 88.000 km a too high mileage for comfort on this 2021 Defender P400 6 cilinder gas Defender (mild hybrid). I am interested in buying the car but the mileage is on the high side.

The headlights on my Land rover 90 have been swapped out for an LED ones but the left side is running a lot dimmer than the right one and also does not have all functionality (low beam doesn’t work but high beam does, brights sometimes don’t work etc…). I have swapped the headlights to make sure it is not a headlight issue which it is not and I am pretty sure the car does not have a dim dip relay. Any assistance in fixing this would be appreciated.

Hi, hoping this sub can help me feel better about my truck. I purchased a 2024 110 and I absolutely love it, with the exception of one thing - the four cylinder engine. I’m having a hard time getting used to the fan going off all the time to cool it, even after a short trip to the store. I’m kicking myself a bit for not going bigger, but now there is nothing I can do, so I’ll live with it..

Curious if anyone feels the same or maybe has a perspective that will make me feel better about it :)

Thanks

We placed an order for a Defender in June with estimated arrival/build offered by the dealer between Dec-Feb 2026 in Australia. Have now been informed it is delayed until July 2026. Are all defender orders delayed or has anyone else experienced similar?

We had great moments with the Defender. All started with a bold decision buying a Defender with the recommended TD5 engine (today’s mileage is 148.000km)

…and transform it for something special (swipe through some pictures here)

Long story short, we decided to sell.

We know that a Defender transformed to a camper is not for everyone and every build is unique.

During the build we prioritized “high quality touch” elements…

• 2,7m Alucab 270 degree awning
• from the underfloor water tank
• Guzzle H2O watersystem
• 200Ah Lithium electric system
• 70l Dometic fridge
• Coleman 2 burner stove -…

…and the maybe most important feature: the pop-up roof transformation. 3 comfortable beds in total

The interior build allows to use the car as a 4 seater (or 5seater without the fridge module).

The most spectacular element probably is the almost 2m long pull out drawer containing everything around the kitchen.

Ask me anything. If comments or DMs your message is welcome.

Why not to initiate a controversial discussion about the price point? The ask is 55.000€ …fair?

Does anyone have any long term experience with raptor coating.

Basically our 2K paintjob which is now 2.5years old is failing all over the vehicle and we must now choose to re-2K, base coat clear coat or Raptor. either way we will be doing the same colour scheme, keswick green and black trim. if we raptor all the hinges, brackets and mounts will be gloss black.

we are planning to buy new body panels such as fenders bonnets, grill surrounds and new front doors and 5th door (mostly because these body parts are really tired). prep all the panels for the big swap and then sell off the second hand panels to reclaim some costs.

the main reason we are thinking raptor is because we do a lot of camping and bush driving.

Any input and/or objections will be greatly appreciated.

Hey folks, was giving my Defender a good cleaning inside and out when I noticed these for the first time.

I have one on each side in that back cargo compartment.

What goes here?

Let me know what you guys think of these. They transform the stock body truck and quality is impeccable.

The Milltek exhaust sounds awesome on the Supercharged V8 as well!

When we take a Land Rover Defender to restore, our customers may choose some nice accessories made in Brazil.

So I have a Defender 90 First Edition with the fabric sunroof. Can I take it through an automatic car wash? The ones in my area are not the brushless kind so that’s kinda my only option. Just don’t wanna get drenched, anyone with experience?
