    It's vaporware... Pictures on their web site is all they "offer" for the new Defender. As far as I know, they have not sold a single piece of that underbody protection, and they've had those pictures and prices up for at least a year. They are supposedly waiting for TÜV approvals. I am starting...

    Matzker released a video of what appears to be a roll cage, real snorkel and complete underbody protection for a D110. Everything is made of unobtanium so far (can't buy any of this stuff and their website only has generic descriptions, nosebleed pricing and "Delivery Time Not Available" for...

    Looks like a black 110 with a few regular packs and accessories bolted on, a yellow wrap / advertising billboard and a winch - which costs extra and may or may not be available from your local dealer... It does look cool, but for 90K's, you sure pay dearly for those two invites, a wrap of...

    Installing a side case on a LR3/4

    Without anything attached to it, none. It's a 3 mm thick aluminum "blade" facing the wind, and I'm sure it also helps that it's installed on the opposite corner of the car (opposite to my ears...) Whatever noise it generates, if any, is inaudible over the muted drone of the Duratracs and hum of...

    Installing a side case on a LR3/4

    Powerful UK may already be working on a "MOLLE" aluminum plate for LR3/4, similar to the one they recently designed for the new Defender. Only issue I see is that the Defender already comes with receptacles for the mounting bolts and spacers under the trim below the rear windows (which are used...

    How in the world does he accidentally hit his knee against the door lock/unlock buttons? My left knee rests at least 3 or 4" behind those buttons (just behind the door lever), and I am no giant. Even if I tried I wouldn't come close to hitting them.

    Useful (and almost identical to the LR4's vacuum method, save for the welcome reappearance of the dipstick in the new Defender), but my goodness does that nice "chap" like to talk! 40 minutes of chatter for 5-10 minutes of action. ;) I know I'll use Mobil 1 myself, but has anyone been able to...

    My money is on a loose sensor connector somewhere, which got dislodged the very first time they shook the car a bit off road.

    The Meridian surround system is very good indeed, but I miss the Harman Kardon Logic7 system of my 7-year old LR4. To my ears, it's far superior.

    I am drooling after Matzker's products over in Germany. I can't believe they don't have an importer in the US yet.

    Holy Cow, that's your backyard? It looks gorgeous Jack, and the car ain't bad, either. ;) Congratulations. What do you think so far? ZI have about 600 miles on mine and I can't find a single thing I don't like. Infotainment needs some polishing, but I am confident the occasional hiccups can and...

    If I had purchased a diesel powered new Defender over in Europe or elsewhere, I would be a bit pissed about this announcement. It appears the current 4-cylinders D200 and D240 engines powering MY2020 Defender 110s outside of North America are being canned after less than a year, to be replaced...

    Do we know at what speed the collision occurred? The FB post doesn't say. If it was at, say, 50 mph, that's not much damage for an offset collision like that. Also, where's the "alleged" Yaris? You often find some paint "stamps" from the other vehicle on bumper and painted surfaces after an...
