fitting jerry can holders and central locking - Defender

**Jimmy** · 16th December 2005, 10:28 AM

Has anyonoe fitted jerry can holders to the rear (outside) of their defender? Perhaps where the numberplate go's?

And, has anyone gone to the trouble of fitting central locking to their Defender? (in WA, or anywhee)

I've got a 2001 Defender. Any hints or tips would be great

Cheers

I bought a ready made jerry can holder from Boots Great Outdoors for $35 and bolted that onto the back of my COunty (on wheel carrier).

Central locking soon to be fitted - I'm sick of the bloody woeful locking system.

Ahh, then you haven't had a County. If you lock the doors from inside, they can't be unlocked from the outside. If you lock the doors from the outside, they can't be unlocked from the inside.

Only LR could hold their car owners in such contempt so as to retain such an awful locking system that required 5 different keys:

Ignition
Front doors
Rear door
Bonnet
Centre console.

You might be lucky with the central locking. It's fitted to some TD5s, just not in the specs for Oz vehicles.

Check with a dealer. They'll match the chassis no. to one of the two frequencies used, sell you a key zapper, & you're in business.

I've had it since almost new, there a couple of others in LROC that come to mind that have also had it done.

Well worth it.

Fitting central locking to a Defender is quite straightforward. I fiited one of the cheap kits (about $30 from memory) two years ago, and it's been working faultlessly ever since.

There's some photos in my gallery here
