Free afternoon this afternoon, so completely washed my chassis to get any mud, salt and debris out of all the nooks and crannies.
Surprising what's under there, especially on outriggers and up hove front mudflaps. Didn't manage to wash it which needs doing, but one thing at a time. Getting all that rubbish out is most important first.  Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |

Nice, such a Startech wheel with what appears to be black stitching.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

Sulisuli, very nice.
A couple of questions. What tablet's on your dash? And what's it mounted on? Second, and maybe I'm being too 007, but to the right of the instrument binnacle can I be right in thinking that's a fingerprint reader for an alarm? If not, what is it? iPhone holder? Being very dim today. I'm asking that questions following Confucius' thinking that 'A man who asks a question may feel foolish for a short while. A man who doesn't ask a question will be a fool for life"  Monsieur Le Grenadier

Hi Grenadier
The tablet on the dash is a 7” Garmin Sat Nav with mount that I have fixed to the dash. Your 007 thoughts are very unfounded I’m afraid to say....it’s my magnetic mobile phone holder  but I prefer your interpretation of it. Happy to answer any questions anytime, no such thing as a stupid question but plenty of stupid answers 2015 HT XS 90

Many thanks. I've been considering that Garmin, it's flipping enormous.
 It's not until you see it in place that you realise just how big.
I'll get a thumb print alarm system knocked up and sent to you this weekend.... Monsieur Le Grenadier

I did opt for the largest screen they did, I also have a wireless garmin reversing camera that works with the screen which is excellent and I would recommend it
Retina ID built into the sun visor would be preferable over the thumb print ID 2015 HT XS 90

Not nearly secure enough. I'm going for full DNA analysis, although there will always be a couple of weeks delay whilst I wait for the results before I can fire her up...

Hope the new Garmin GUI is better than my old 1300, used it today and works well for purpose but using it can be a pain and time consuming too.
Not quite sure if I could live with a 7", how do you see the NS wing. 
On a different note, went up for a jolly up to Hereford today. My the roads are pretty bad!
Coming back, late evening fog descended too and for the first time since I've had my 90 I had to use the fog light.  Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |

SuliSuli, any chance you could give me these dimensions? Just wondering/hoping the Optimill quick release boss may make the Startech a little closer to the steering column/indicator stalks? Thank you.
 Click image to enlarge I'm sure I saw a discussion on integrating a IPad into the Dash and I believe Brendan raised an issue where there is a 'rule' about obstructions in the windscreen? From memory, nothing was allowed higher than the steering wheel? Or am I just imagining all this?
