You can only get short term relief from buying another accessory.....

There's always credit, or if you have a redraw option on your mortgage you can borrow against your house. Addicts are pretty resourceful when it comes to feeding a habit.

Borrowing from family and friends is not advised. This often leads to conflict when you turn up with a new bull bar hanging on the front of the Defender, but for 'some reason' you can't afford to pay back the $20 you borrowed.

Mmmmm. Bolt-ons.

Bit of a subject change, but I agree.

The other alternative of course, is to keep going until there is nothing left to modify.


The Unicorn Zone, this is called. I know of nobody who has ever reached this fabled land. Each time I think I've finished, I find something else that's unnecessary but 'nice to have' and out comes the laptop.

Glad it wasn't just me...

Im no different i drive mine to and from work everyday and love it she sits at 100k's no bother at all and the view over the top of most vehicles is brilliant.....

I too have a list of mods as long as your arm but unfortunately my pockets are not that deep so most things have to wait, and I'm still paying for her too.

Next main item that I'm gonna get but from the UK is a chequer plate kit. Have on order here in NZ a 42" light bar for the roof hopefully arriving in the next week or two.....

I wouldn't be without her now i love my Landy.......

Nice way to put it, I like it.
Well I have to say I did spend some money on the 110 but they were mostly recovery, protection and roof rack. They are items that are in my opinion essential for going on an adventure.

I must say though I find the steering wheel to big and wouldn't mind a smaller one but this is the only one I like and cant justify the cost.
