£200 challenge to transform the Land Rover Defender

Land Rover Defenders are brilliant at a lot of things, but comfort and refinement aren't super high on that list. So we've given ourselves a £200 budget to make the biggest and best changes to what it's like to daily drive one. We review a few products on the market that really can make a difference to how enjoyable they are to drive.

Some great suggestions - good little projects for anyone getting into tinkering with Land Rovers to have a go at too!

[@paulfisher1160]

Keen to see if those door catches work. keep us posted on how good they are

[@Pelt101]

I’ve not got a Defender, but enjoy the videos. Good stuff.

[@pauldent3059]

Looks like I'm going to be making a parts list in the morning

[@tomthompson7400]

A gallon of acf 50 , and a pair of earplugs.

[@locodriver601]

While you are at it cure the rust at the bottom of the B pillar.

[@garymv]

Malaga ?? 😂 Combat pants? We all know you prefer lycra😉

[@Gustavo37137]

what is the brand of this snorkel? 3inch?

[@LRLiveUK]

The one fitted is the Mantec plastic Jobby.

Liberty Landy

Do you plan to fit a Slickshift kit to this Defender? At £102 it would add a bit to the cost and isn't essential, but it's far cheaper than the Puma version and based on the kit I have it my Disco 1 I'd expect it to be well worth the money.

[@LRLiveUK]

Looks interesting, might have to try one.

[@cameronwood1994]

​@@LRLiveUK I have one in my Series III (standard gearbox) and it is far superior. I actually did a back-to-back with a new standard gear lever to see which one I preferred. I'm not sure it's entirely necessary with a Defender though, as they already have quite a nice gear change.

[@tim90defender]

Makes a great upgrade to the defender , a much shorter push between gears ! Well worth the money !

[@chrisviviers5649]

Transform? Surely that's a stretch.

[@JD_Speakman]

Hi, the discount code isn't working

[@LRLiveUK]

I think that one has expired now. Keep a look out for another one coming soon.

[@453421abcdefg12345]

Do the seat lifter kits fit with the bulkhead panel removal kit fitted? Chris B.

[@LRLiveUK]

I'll have to ch CK. Good question

[@davidyeates5525]

Yes, I have both the MUD products on my 90, great if you are taller.
