I think a good chassis clean and rust proof treatment should be near the top of the list.

@gixerjas Год назад

The first things I would do, if I had to do it again, are to change the clutch pedal spring, EGR delete and Climair wind deflectors, which are all cheap to do. Then swap all of the lights for LED, a remap and as many security, rust and sound proofing mods as I could afford 😁

@jamesbenn1084 Год назад

Definitely rust prevention. Lanoguard has worked wonders 👍🏻

@davelock3166 Год назад

I am still out on that one. Used Dinitrol for a few years and that's pretty good. Lanoguard last year, but still have not seen an old Landy use it long-term!

@davidandrewmitchell5590 11 месяцев назад

Security, swing away wheel carrier, sound deadening, upgraded lights, remap, chassis waxoly, quality parts, genuine seals , rear work light. Great video

@philipkearns9757 Год назад

I would be inclined to try and keep the vehicle as original looking as possible. Things I have done include: Engine work by Alive Tuning, providing me with over 200 bhp. Suspension replacement (standard height) by Alive Tuning. Amazed at the difference that made to the ride of the vehicle. Change out transfer box ratios to that of the Discovery. Made motorway driving much more relaxed. 18” Boost alloy wheels with BFG. A subtle upgrade which I don’t regret. Interior wise. The only difference from new. Soundproofing and partial removal of the bulkhead using the MUD modification. Also MUD extended seat runners. I do like the Lucari interior you opted for but I wonder if it will date quicker than the original. The best thing I did was buy the Grenadier which has given me everything I desired of my Defender. My Grenadier makes me still feel very much linked to my 300 Tdi and subsequent Td5. Finally. Surprised you don’t have at least double the subscribers. You do a great job and I can think of nothing on which you need to improve.

@raymondallo9947 Год назад

Swing bar for spare wheel so it saves the back door, silicone hoses, stage 1 remap, larger intercooler

@ebbonfly Год назад

A remap (made a huge difference), soundproofing (to do) and rustproofing top 3 for me.

@markriley2733 Год назад

Hi Marcus agreed on the optimil security, soundproofing deffo, my 3rd &4th. Alive comfort springs and fox shocks and finally engine remapp ( I have the Twisted 1st stage)

@thedoctorsgarage Год назад

Yes I agree the Alive work I had done is brilliant and def making the list just under what I mentioned!

@TheBlueOwl21 Год назад

Security on my Defender, full steering wheel cover lock, pedal lock, security hinges, tracker, hidden inertia switch, rear - side windows security grill.

@davidgriffiths7068 Год назад

Agreed seats and sound deadening (in my to do list) and maybe a stage 2 remap? Still quality vids👍🏻👍🏻

@tomjet1000 Год назад

all good mods, my right front door started leaking a little at the bottom after 2 years, still looking for the source, guess that would be a point too, check for good seals 😉

@johnelliott365 Год назад

Hi Marcus. I hoped you’d review the Slick Shift you fitted. Would you recommend this to other Defender owners? Thanks. John

@Jabber-ig3iw Год назад

Quick release steering wheel boss and smaller steering wheel Mud stuff seat rails so you can move the seats further back Good LED headlights Sound deadening Change the door locks to stop anyone with a random Defender key can open your doors.

@MerlinHuffy Год назад

I think door and bonnet hinges are a good one. Sadly the things that make land rovers easy to work on also makes them easier to steel.

@iceman9678 11 месяцев назад

In the USA one of the best theft proof mods are manual transmission (Rover dive - it confuses the criminal) and RHD. Ofc a kill switch and gps tracking with accelerometers are a plus.

@BTurner. 11 месяцев назад

The most important thing I had done when I bought my 110 new in 2015 was to have it Waxoyled before I took delivery and redone every year for the first five years.

@phillipknight4046 10 месяцев назад

Great vid, thanks. I too love the Disco 5. But, am worried about the potential breakdowns. Also, as good and upmarket this car is, I don't like some of the cheap plasticy trim in some area. (The driver's seat trim has cracked and is coming away. Oh, and those USELESS clips which are supposed to hold the third seat row belts out of the way of the sliding tonneau cover. Doh!

@2702simmo Год назад

On mine it’d be the st2 remap from Storm , the RX8 seats I fitted and the smaller steering wheel

@williammillard687 Год назад

My son's Alive st2 ECU....it's a 2.4 Puma....goes very well...now, brakes!

@williammillard687 Год назад

Alive also do a very quick TD5 chip...they race them..

@HeliRy 10 месяцев назад

Instead of the hassle of a removable steering wheel, I’d just put a hidden kill switch in it. But that’s just me.

@thedoctorsgarage Год назад

What would be your essentials? Let me know here? ⬇️

@doug1570 Год назад

I don't drive huge distances in my Defender and I do like them in their original spec so all I have done to it is lights and security along with an improved steering damper to stop it trying to throw me into the ditch! Thanks for your vids.

@stephenbland7461 Год назад

Definitely number one is security, no question. People who spend thousands on winches, big wheels tires, roof tents, sounds systems etc., and no additional security. I recommend a removable steering wheel and a clutch claw (or box) as a minimum. When parked up at home I also fit a heavy duty Denver boot as well. Obviously this won’t stop the vehicle being stolen if a thief really wants it, but it’s all a deterrent.

@richardtedeschi9290 Год назад

In the UK security essential, in another country nothing really, I like the ruggedness, I spend money on keeping it in good shape and working well rather than accessories. I did transform ours from a panel van to having back sliding windows and benches because my wife asked so, also put Exmoor Trim seat covers as when we were living in Spain with our UK Landy we were sweating our legs on the original seats, put a MUD tunnel tray to hold cups and bottles as my wife wanted one, see all are essential to my wife not really for me, I am quite pleased at having put all around LED lights so they work every day and not one day yes and two days no as the original ones.

You can convert it to a V8 at Twisted in Yorkshire. 457hp 6,2 l LT1. Smiles per miles all the way.

Whatever floats your boat mate

@awalk5177 2 месяца назад

Galvanised Chassis and a pedal box security. I would not buy a Defender that has a CPU, but rather a 300tdi. Keep it original and not add chavy stuff. It is a Defender after all. Be able to hose it out and not worry about mud and scratches. Keep original wheels as they cut through deep snow and mud. It is a Defender after all. Did I say that already ?. Well, yeah, its a Defender.

@billy_on_2_wheels Год назад

Buy an ineos grenadier 😂😂😂😂

@Jabber-ig3iw Год назад

Do you buy a lot of knockoffs from Wish?

@billy_on_2_wheels Год назад

@@Jabber-ig3iw 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 pisses allover the new mistake they call a defender

@Jabber-ig3iw Год назад

@@billy_on_2_wheels have you actually driven either of them? I’ve driven both and whilst the Grenadier is perfectly fine it’s not even playing the same game as the Defender never mind in the same ballpark.

@k6osy Год назад

As soon as I heard optimill I stopped watching, always advertising them

@thedoctorsgarage Год назад

Thanks for your comment - when you’re talking defender security (steering boss/the lock/hinges) I can’t think of another brand that make as nice parts in this sector?

@k6osy Год назад

@@thedoctorsgarage no you're probably right! I must have been in a bad mood when I wrote that!! I'll watch the rest now 😆

@davelock3166 Год назад

Keep everything original. If not buy another brand.

@arakoonnsw Год назад

Three things I did after my daughter drove off a cliff (and wrote off) my 2012 110 Defender, that I purchases from new. . 1. Not buy another one. 2. Not buy another one. and 3. Not buy another one
