    They do not attract dust. Dust seposition is governed by the laws of physics, which wd40/rp7 do not change.

    Btw - the lock has that little slidey part /door to seal it off when there is no key inside - so dust cannot get in.

    Graphite will not help with corrosion.

    OK how about 'trap' dirt as oppsed to attract it. (Of course it doesn't attract it, you know what I meant surely)

    I didn't think the issue with the key was corrosion but just how sticky it was to move in and out. Thus my comment of using graphite rather than WD40 to solve THAT PARTICULAR problem.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Don't worry about cost, just make it happen. Seriously, they are that good - absolutely transformed the usability of my 110. As far as I'm concerned they rank alongside a bullbar, a UHF and MTs in terms of importance.

    PS I've been using graphite in my locks to great effect.

    Cheers for the tip about locks I did notice they are hard to get the key in and out thought it might free up with use but will give it a squirt now. And you should definitely get some they are awsome

    Question - can you lock them partly open whilst driving? And if so, do you reckon it would create that drumming sound you often get in smaller cars?
    cheers Gerald

    Nope, not without mods.

    Just noticed today that Frontrunner do an all glass Gullwing Door.

    FRONT RUNNER GULLWING DOOR - GLASS / LAND ROVER DEFENDER

    I wonder how much they are in ZAR? Can anyone is South Africa let us know what the local price is? - please.

    I'd definitely go for the glass ones, but at that price I wouldn't buy one. At half the price, I'd buy two.
