That's why I went for the Safari version. It properly seals to the wing as a result. With the OEM internal plumbing replaced with the Nugget kit, it is now properly sealed.

I don't intend to take it deep wading intentionally, but it's nice to know I could if needed, especially with flooded roads seemingly becoming more common. Dave

Seriously, packs of grommets are available for peanuts from any vehicle electrical supplier. By an assortment box and you'll be in grommet heaven for ages. Steve.

It's an Adventure/Adventurer model - any change from the original spec will surely reduce it's value. Thumbs Up

“You would think when you fork out £43k on a leather clad Defender...”

You would think no £43K vehicle would be held together with pop rivets, some of which are put on after the vehicle's been painted so aren't even coloured. But, of course, whether or not a fashion accessory is missing a couple of screws or grommets is much more important.

Evoques and their owners are oft ridiculed, but it was designed for and bought by poseurs from its beginning. The Defender persona took thirty years to evolve from tough-guy to twee.

Of course much depends on how close to the last vehicle off the line it is Rolling with laughter Steve.

The LR branded one and Mantec one are exactly the same apart from one saying "LR" and one saying "Mantec". Strangely the LR branded one doesn't come with grommets / plastic covers (friend at Mantec confirmed this). Don't know why as Mantec one comes with grommets...... hope this helps. Current

She doesn't read the forum but if she did, being called a poseur by you would be far more socially acceptable to what she would be calling you for doing so, just sayin. 3 Landrovers
