    Listen, I know you lot that drive defenders now have industrial deafness, but it seems to have rattled your brain around in your head! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] , how do you reckon a defender is better,

    Disco, petrol or diesel
    Defender,diesel

    Disco, manual or auto
    Defender, Manual

    Disco, comfortable
    Defender, uncomfortable

    Disco, good off road
    Defender, good off road

    Disco, quiet
    Defender, noisy as all buggary

    Disco, cup holders
    Defender, no cup holders

    Disco, elec windows
    Defender, manual windows

    So you can see that Discos are far superior and really classy as well

    <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">TOOL BOX</span>
    getting back to the subject at hand. Instead of putting a bulky tool box on your bonnet, that when full and rattling with be more awkward to lift off than a tyre, why don't you recess a tool box into each front guard. :!:
    If they stay about 4" deep they shouldn't affect ground clearnace. Line the base with closed cell foam so things won't rattle [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] . When you make your chequer plate wing tops, they could incorporate a lid for the tool boxes. They will be like "secret compartments" big enough to hide shackles, snatch straps .... (even some "urgent" tools) :wink: . And once dirty, these tools will not have to come into your precious interior - now that's something the disco drivers will appreciate - their precious velour interior.

    now getting back to the hijacked thread - DEFENDERS ARE BETTER
    who'd cut a hole in a disco to put a tool box!? That's because Defenders build character and attitude.
    (<span style="font-size:36pt;line-height:100%">DISCLAIMER I include all series vehicles under the broad banner of Defender for the purposes of this conversation. My use of the term Defender in another forum or another time should not be taken to provide such inclusion)</span>
