Show us your Deefers !

Holding the fob to your head (or other dense, boney structures) actually is an amplifier for the fob to send the signal. Your skull works very well as a radar dish to bounce the signals off of, and strengthen the signal. That being said, no idea what it does to the 'soft' bits inside the skull. I would never expect everyone to take my word for it, so please look it up......amazing what you can learn from a few searches! I asked the same question, and found a whole physiology clinical on the topic. I use that trick rather frequently.

I have been told that some vehicles require you to use each key at least once every 4 months or that key gets 'locked' out. Don't know if this is the case with LR and it sounds like you guys are using the same key regularly, so I'm back to just buying a Tdi...

Yep, got a few 90's, driving a 300tdi most days.
Hardly ever had any issues with the older 90's, And if you do have troubles, it's generally easier to find and fix too.

My newest Defender 90 (2013 limited edition) really is a disappointment to me after 11 months of owning it, I should have put my money into something different.

Yes, the new ones have ABS, TC, aircon that works, leather whatevers, and a fancy paint job, but they also have to much electrical crap that has things go wrong with them.

Also there is more rust on my new 90 than all my other ones put together.....

Terrafirma bumperettes and treesliders added...what a difference!

Congratulation and enjoy. :D

G'day all, I just fitted a hard shell roof top camper to the 90. It folds down very low so no room inside it to store anything but I did manage to sneak in my solar panels. I'm pretty pleased it.

Nice one Sandgroper,,
Have you thought about attaching the solar panels to the roof of the RTT ? That would keep them permanently stored and out of the way.

The problem with mounting them on top is that they then can't be angled to take full advantage of the sun, also, if I decided to camp under trees etc....they would not be as effective. They fold up nicely and fit inside the camper quite neatly and aren't difficult to get in or out so I'll probably stick with this for now.

Nice rig WTF_D90, and I do like the second picture much better :D:twisted:
