No idea but I can't imagine Land Rover fitting remote res or adjustable shocks to a Defender!

there are a few in our club that have them, on CCV cars. What exactly do you want to see, may be a week or two until we see some again though 2015 RRS Autobiography SDV6

Want to get a look at how they adjust, if thr adjustment knob can be removed and what fitting is under it. Working on a way to see if they can be adjusted remotely/in cab like fancy top end coilovers

You can't remove the adjustment away from the shock body/reservoir as the interfere directly with the oil flow. American brands like Fox do 2.0 entry level shocks with adjusting knobs, but if budget allows have a look at brands like Proflex, Aragosta or Ohlins. They offer 2/3 way external adjustments. m

I thought the main reason behind remote reservoir dampers was for better cooling?
I really want a set of king or ohilins remote resevoir dampers but they are probably wasted on a road car, ill stick with bilstein for now, |

Yes, the reservoirs are mainly for the cooling and make shock rebuilds/valving easier too. Did you get a quote for Ohilins?

i asked twisted about them as they stick them on the v8 builds which im currently on with...
i think it was around the 4k mark + vat... hence why they only use on v8 builds.. |

Ohilins would be well worth their money but if you want something similar but a tad less expensive Proflex is another great brand. Note that those type of shocks (European Designed) are harder to rebuild and revalve due to having a 'bladder' instead of a floating piston in their reservoir. m
