Simon and Tyler: dismantling their Defender one piece at a time so we don't have to. 🤣 Seriously, brilliant and educational. 👍🏻

You are an ambassador for the brand sir. Pity JLR don't see it that way. Excellent teardown.

The best and most entertaining videos from Simon who really knows his way around in Land Rover products.

the rear panels are nothing but plastic and very noisy! If it gets much worse I might have to take a closer look at this vid to treat all the plastic panels for sound proofing. Thanks again, Simon!

Simons work on this Defender is impressive to say the least . He makes a Great advert for Land Rover .

Thanks for the video as it gives a good impression of where to find some space and how to remove everything

Mine is also a 5 seater (D240S); i had the rear foam tray out early on as i wanted to mount an aux battery in there...you CAN get the foam tray out without removing all the trim as Simon says at the end of the video. I guess you could remove one of those plugs and use it as a grommet for wiring to get an anderson plug out the back for trailers, solar panels, towing etc. Great video for a tedious procedure. Much appreciated yet again! Thanks Simon and Tyler.

This video will be useful for years to come - thanks again Simon and Tyler!

you mr simon have the best job in the world,taking land rovers to bits,great vid

Love this idea. My hard top 90 is ready in a few weeks and I’m going to need to look at building some kind of shelves in the back, possibly going to build a shelf across widthways at the back against the bulkhead. Also looking forward to your bumper protector coming out that’s a great idea adding the front protection on it, I will order one of these the second you launch it! Thanks for the video Simon loving them! I think the work you’ve done on the new Defender is fantastic!

That’s very interesting. You’d think JLR would offer an auxiliary / leisure battery option, either a built-in LiFePO4 battery or a cradle where a battery of your choice could be dropped into a space and charged via a built-in DC/DC charger or 12v charge socket, to ease the addition of a fridge / lights etc.

Another great video Simon and Tyler and excellent to see the prototype bumper protector. Still hoping to be your first customer for one of those.

Are we going to get the update about why JLR won't support your wade sensor issue?

Thanks mate :) solid infos appreciated

Your plastic clip bravery and orange screw collection always impresses...does it all go back without a load of squeaks afterwards😀 That D4 bumper protector will get another sale...a friend gets his 2016 D4 in about a weeks time...his best friends Gordon and Blaidd will have to go very carefully climbing in otherwise...slippers needed but they look daft on a Deerhound! 😃😃😃😎😎

I can confirm that the foam block comes out without taking anything apart. I hadn't heard about the water leak, but I did notice a lot of condensation forming in that compartment. And the double sided tape on my compressor was the same as yours.

Hi Simon, Great video. I’ve had the same problem with back door wiring harness trapping. I noticed that soon as I got my Defender. But bit of turning and twisting the harness done the job. Is your Wade sensor working now? What JLR comments on that?

Lots of stuff back there!

Really enjoyed watching your videos, would be interested if you could do a retrofit of a 3 pin household plug 240v inverter.

Nice Video Simon, would like to see a dual battery fitted somewhere?

🙏🙏

Any idea if the wiring (or even inverter) for the 240V socket is under there too?

Hi Simon, will the hardtop 110 lockable compartment fit in the space where you removed the large polystyrene tray, if you do a video on fitting it and stock them I would order one, cheers

Maybe that pinched loom is effecting the Wading sensors!! Just a taught 😬😂😂,on a more serious note, great deconstruction video guys 👍

Great stuff sir! Do you know if I can access the amplifier by just removing the rectangular trim on the left quarter panel? I am planning to add an amplifier and subwoofer and wanted to get the audio signal from the factory amp. If it requires pulling everything out, I’d rather not do it.

Any update on the parcel shelf? It seems like the plastic is not strong enough to build one on top of, but I’m interested in your take.

Do you recommend noise deading sheets on this vehicle?

Hi All, How do you take out the rear seats specifically the single seat? Anyone knows if the rear seats are together or if you can just take out the single seat?

Simon, maybe I misunderstood you but if you want to remove the foam insert under the decking, you don't have to dismantle the walls. It comes out fairly easy.

Simon again a helpful video, my rear door does not seem to be trapping the tubing. However is there away to run a dashcam cable through it to the rear fuse box so you can run a rear dashcam without the wiring showing?

your 'coat hanger' is of course the legendary 'curry hook' ;-)

Love the new full scuff plate, when can I get one?

i can install row seat in cargo space ?? and from where ican buy the chair ?

Appreciate any advice from those that have experienced this. I have to get to the captive nut on the top of the rear quarter panel, (installing the mesh shelf unit and the nut turning when removing loadspace cover clip). Can I replace these nuts with a more permanent “rivnut” so they don’t break off again? Can I get to these nuts without complete removal of Side panel trim?

Do you have a video putting this back together? I can't get the styrofoam reinstalled properly! The driver side back corner falls lower than it should.

Hello Simon, I’ve had my new Defender 90 for a month now and was wondering if PowerfulUk would consider making a fitted rigid boot storage for the new 90, similar to the one for the Discovery (VPLRS0355 part no) the same height as the silver step in the boot with a non-slip Iid and fitted to the boot profile, creating a solid one-level shelf. It would make the 90 a whole lot more practical with the rear seats down for all of their owners!Love my 90 and love the channel!

Simon. Thanks for wrecking the rear of your car for the enlightenment of others. With regard to the chequer plate type cover for the rear bumper, can you do one for the Discovery 4? If so, I'll order one.

Simon, have you seen the 2022 V8 is introducing steering wheel paddles and drift mode? I wonder if the steering wheel control might be backward compatible with a few tweaks??

love your videos mate, i've heard that on the Defender 90 2021 you can remove the rear seat to have so it goes down flat is that true? can you show a video on how to do this?

Hi do you have a video of removing an RR Evoques boot lining etc I have seen my (Camera system Fault) May be caused by broken wires in the boot area ...any tips or experience of this error message? Checked fuses etc there all good and actual camera doesn’t look that damaged\corroded so think it’s wiring

Could you do a video on removing the rectangle panel on the rear door of 110? Im talking about the smaller panel that makes up a square with the bigger panel on the sides. Somehow water flows into the rear door from this panel and leaks out from the inside. I'd like to remove it, apply some sealant and put it back on to prevent the leak.

Any details on the technical service bulletin for water leaks?

Hello Simon - Any update on the availability of your prototype bumper protector ?

On my 2020 110 I have a gray colored box on the left side of the “boot” below the side window. I noticed yours does not have it. What is inside this gray box?? :)

hi - very informative. do you have a tutorial on how to remove the 3rd row of seats?

When are you going to strip down your engine Simon that’ll be good

Any update on the rear step cover ? Cheers

Can we have one on how to turn off the stop start system please , it drives me crazy

Called dealership and no one has removed the styrofoam before. More concerned about why I took it out then how it should re-insert !

I enjoy what you are doing with your Defender as a project, and find your Vids funny and very interesting (I’ve also ordered parts for my Defender from yourselves) But you do literally rip the thing apart whilst saying “we’re not experts at this” so you can sort of understand why JLR are bit pissed with any problems you might have thereafter.

First

Why oh why do manufacturers use different screw/bolt heads?

Was wondering if the underfloor storage they have in the 110 commercial hardtop version is fitable to standard model. It would make a good piece of secure extra storage!?

Door looms controversial.

Take a look at Autoplicity's dual battery set up here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ra-jmaWd2NTJqYE.html Seems plenty of room for a good setup.

The more I see your vids of this vehicle the more I think how expensive this will be to maintain out of warranty

It is odd JLR give you a winch, basically using you and your your videos to educate us folk on how to install one without harming a loom, which required removing most of the front of the Defender to fit then, moan about removing a mirror cap!

Why would you want to remove the side panels? To recover all the screws dropped during the manufacture! LOL Old LR joke!

Please don't wear a mask it's ot needed
