It’s a wheel chock 👍 later ones came with them (I think in the battery box) to make it safer when changing a wheel

I figured it was that when I opened up the battery box. Had to cut the perforations to open the fuse box under the driver's seat but nothing interesting in there lol.
Don't have a manual... |

I don't think 'bent bit of metal' is in the index! I didn't know what it was in my first Defender. Found it to be excellent for cutting pie though. |

I have 2…
1 is a leaf trap. I left it here overnight once and it happened to catch a load of leaves that were blowing around the driveway, it stays here now and every week over autumn and winter it makes sweeping the leaves easier. I know. Unbelievable, but true. (I realise it’s April 1st)

I would describe it as another sad manifestation of the complete and utter disdain that Landrover had for the classic Defender product line towards the end. To include a cheap, nasty, and entirely inadequate piece of trash like that and make believe that it is a suitable wheel chock is an insult to the engineers of old who took pride in making Solihull's products great.  |
