Thread: One of the joys of Defender ownership :D

Love it, what other group of people would describe some many faults/idiosyncrasies with there car with a smile. Buy the way not all Pumas are watertight, our girl leaks when & wherever she wants. Heavy rain, light rain, car wash. Or not at all.
Its never boring owning a Defender.

move to perth it never rains..well not that I can recall..water leaks just aren't a problem over here

very true mine lasted 3 days fell off in the driveway..a dab of sikaflex solved the problem

Now that made me laugh!!

Mine's not fallen off yet - but it might pay for me to start carrying around some sikaflex in anticipation though lol..

The dealer and I both had a laugh over it, and they had no problems giving me a replacement cover so alls good. I just can't think of another brand of vehicle where you would have a laugh about something falling off it with one of your states major dealers, owning these things is just fun!

Not all of us are as lucky as you Sue my my12 leaks like a siv down the firewall and through the rear guards. Just did a lap of tassel awesome by the way one night at cradle mountain and a decent puddle. With less than 10000 one the clock think I might make the dealers resolve this one.

Ps Sue my wife loves her defender as a daily drive all worked out good

Mine has a lovely double drip up behind the dash somewhere

You hear a plastic'y drip then 2 -3 seconds later the comforting wetness on the right leg

Consistency is the key for me, as long as it always wets me the same way...

I'm apparently as lucky as Sue...

My 2010 90 has not leaked a drop in its life. Well, bit of a white lie... last time I took it through the automated laser jet wash (I treat the 90 to one of those once a month) I got a bit of a leak on the left rear sliding window...

Cheers,
