    secondarily, how about a cargo barrier to keep all that loose stuff in the back where it belongs?

    and fridge access? looks like might be a bit tight to get to easily?


    Good questions - the bash plate is OL - I'm after a cargo barrier, new rear seats proclude the current Milford.

    Fridge access is actually pretty good - strategic balancing act on rear step and right base of drawers and bingo - up and into it. I experimented at length with various fridge/water storage positions, I must say - I think this is the optimal use of space.

    Yep - Got it in one.

    Phoenix - I think the snorkel is identical to the TD5 (at least externally) but not 100% sure.

    good answers

    any reason why you didn't buy the underfloor/fender water tank OL sell? doesn't it fit the '07 defender? or was it too small for your purposes? (40 odd litres from memory). just asking as you obviously have done the research!

    Indeed - I researched water tanks at length, I like the OL water tank and I understand the current one does fit - but as you alluded to - 40 litres just isn't enough - I like the manual nature of the Graeme Cooper tank I'm using and it holds 70 litres.

    I may get the OL tank as a backup though - I am getting the aux fuel tank that fits in the other side and gravity feeds the main tank.

    Handbrake

    Speaking of bash plates, have you had any thoughts on protecting the handbrake drum?

    It hangs down below the chassis. Do u reckon it's worth covering?

    Hmm, nice one. Neat and tidy installation, with all the creature comforts.

    Gives me an idea or two. I'm off to the hardware store for some more angle grinder disks, and maybe a few welding rods and some mig wire and some,, see ya.

    I'm thinking that it might be worth considering a hand-disc-brake conversion. The disc brakes I have seen are much smaller, and hold heaps better too.
