I have the defender 90 xs. 2009 model. Also live in Scotland and needed the wiper upgrade badly!! Rains a lot here. Rain-X has been a game changer.

Also consider if your a tall guy to fit the seat runner extenders , get another 2” of legroom , huge difference to comfort if you’re over 6’ .

Great advice and sensible upgrades, in addition I would recommend a heated front windscreen for frost removal inside and out, front seat risers and lastly a cubby box riser (which then makes for a perfect height left armrest)

I left the suspension unchanged, but fitted rear Airbag Man airbags. The airbags maintain height when towing our caravan. Running 15psi also firms up the rear and reduces body role.<br>Headlights need both a wiring upgrade with relay and better lights. The relay means the power is not constantly running through the switch, burning it out. Rather than LEDs a much cheaper option is to fit plus 200 bulbs from Phillips, Narva etc. Gives a huge improvement. Also fit LED bulbs in the other lights.

What about upgrading the windscreen spray nozzle?
@DefenderNut92 · 4 years ago
can't agree more very good list, in addition i got cruise control installed to my td5, now mines also a daily so motorway miles are an absolute dream, it works just as you'd expect tap the brake and it turns off... i also have a stage 2 remap from empire and with the stage 2 you will 100% need to upgrade the clutch to a LOF power spec which is noticeably smoother ONCE YOU GET USED TO IT. another great upgrade with the LEDs all round is to get rear work lights i use them a lot for reversing at night with a rear view camera which doubles as a duel dashcam.

Great list, have done a few, already planning some of the others. Aerial trick is awesome. Only thing I would add would be seat rail extensions for anyone over 5'6" tall, cos the leg clearance in the drivers seat sux.
