The offer is apperciated but I will pass as I think i am gonna mount it on the bulkhead, more usable space in the back.
On another note, I was stunned today when I bought some door trim clips, £17 for 24 bits of plastic, robbing *******. The new oil filler cap and the wheel stud were a few quid and seemed reasonable, so heres a tip if you ever need to repalce defender door lock barrels
Drill a 10mm hole through the inside of the door liner and the metal plate behind it, get the new lock ready preferably with an assistant, kid or wife will do its not that technical, using a posi drive screwdriver unscrew the single bolt holding it in place, keep presure on the bolt so it does not move, get your assistant to simply withdraw the old barrel, push the little pin that releases it from the alloy extender, push in the new barrel into the extender and re-insert it in the door and you re-tighten the screw, job done. PS a set of barrels and keys is only about £10.
The saga continues in the next post, it seems what ever I do to my landy it fights me at every opertunity (
