mind you I never know they could do 65 mph - especially pulling a trailer

Legally it can't anyway...and I wouldn't want to risk anything even approaching that speed over on the continent. The Police are usually hot on speeding towers even in the UK.

Please explain that. With a trailer, is there a more restrictive speed limit in the UK than when driving the same vehicle without a trailer?

Here on the continent that is surely not the case. In France for instance with our without a trailer the speed limit is 130KM/Hr, in Switzerland 120KM/Hr. A trailer or not does not make any difference.

In UK that is different then  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

It's the full NK Kit. Having said that, biggest improvements on their own (in the USW) were the engine blanket (by a big margin), the pieces on and above the rear wheelarches, and around the seatboxes.

Mind you, I went bonkers, and soundproofed the roof too (not with NK, though)! Still wouldn't exactly characterise the Defender as 'acoustically dead' though....
