Thread: 2002 Defender center Dash

OK guys here it is ...

They have decided to offer us a 'special deal' and hold it open for us until the end of Feb.

Here is email I got from them (it contains two emails as I didn't get the first one so Kevin resent):

"Just been checking your forum and it's become apparent you obviously never got the messages I sent you last week. Apologies for the delay, but it would appear the problems we thought we'd sorted with our email are not as sorted as we'd hoped! FYI all of the consoles are black.
Here it is again below:

I've attached a couple of pics of our latest product that some of you guys may be interested in. The MudPod sits on top of the dash and mounts using a plate that uses the Defender ashtray. The hole vacated by the ashtray provides a route for wiring etc into the back of the pod. We hope to have these available at the end of the month. It measures the same width as the Console aand is made from the same material so compliments the console perfectly.

We've been following the thread on the forum with interest and have been giving the discount offer a lot of thought. To save hassle all round, not least for the person responsible for handling the orders, monies, customs duties and local distribution and putting up with the inevitable whinging, we've worked you out 'a deal' based on an individual console shipped door-to-door.

Cost of a MUD console, with a LR badge including the shipping from the UK direct to each individual customer's address anywhere in Australia will be £65.00GBP
Two consoles = 2 x £65.00 = £130.00GBP

Customers can call us direct or pay via Paypal making payment to sales @mudstuff.co.uk

We'll run the offer throughout February. Just quote the forum offer when ordering.

All we need to know is whether the Console is for a Td5 or an earlier model. We usually refer to the two different fitting kits as Td5 or Tdi.

I hope this meets with your approval.
Please feel free to post this info on the forum."

I reckon the MUDpod looks pretty cool too but so if you want to see the 2 photos they sent me can someone tell me **off line** how to post them up?!

I am waiting to hear back how much for the top-of-dash-mounted-pod and also how much to buy one of each delivered ...

Cheers,
Cameron

Sounds good, just a note £65 is approx AU$163

The original price we saw on the forum was £49 + postage. It's not unusual for postage to be £16 but I was hoping for something a bit less (it's a rather bulky item) and I think it would be a damed site easier on everyone if we order these direct.

I for one could be hit for another AU$30 postage for someone to send the item to me within Australia. So if I got it for AU$123 (£49) + AU$30 = $153 + UK Postage, so I'm in front anyway.

Heres the mudpod images...






For those wondering how to post images...

Either upload to the gallery or to somewhere like photobucket.
Then using the URL link click the images in make the post screen.
Enter the URL and theres your image... Easy!

i might be keen on one of these

OK now I'm confused

So they have 2 different units but don't mention this top of the dash one on their website.

The only issue I see with this unit is that with a radio in place on the Tdi Defender there is almost no extra cable room down the back of the dash. So where do you run any wires etc. I think if you went for this unit you would also need the Console one as well.

Looking at the design I think you'd only be able to fit one or t'other.

While that new one looks pretty good, the full console one looks to be more versatile.

How did you come to that conclusion?

1 sits below the crash pad, the other on top of it...

I cant see mutual exclusivity here.

And if you were seriously putting a lot of stuff in there you would probably need both. Like I said, can't see how you would be able to wire from the top pod with the radio unit below it unless you already had the console unit installed. There's just not enough space for all the wiring.
