Interesting cleaning and look under New Defender
Simon @ Powerful’s latest video is quite interesting for those who want to see what’s underneath their car - and all the places that will hide mud/ possibly be corrosion sources if you are buying a used one in a few years time. I would love a ramp like that, but where to store it? My garage is already full and the path to the back garden too narrow.......... I’ll just have to keep using the village garage’s brick monster which at least won’t trip over if you get it wrong.......

It’s always a major task cleaning a Defender. Height is an issue for me! As is keeping the drains clear of silt. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

Having been under my one there’s definitely a lot places for mud to get trapped. 23.5MY 90 D250 X-Dynamic SE, Pangea Green

Gareth at 5ft 7” I actually find it easier to climb into my 90 with rocksliders than the new one at access height......... I’m not keen on sidesteps but if my left hip gets any worse I’ll be looking for a set while I wait the quoted 4 years for a hip replacement....... Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come

Good video. For those going more overland in muddy and stony terrains this is a better protection
