Just returned from a weeks camping in the Defender, starting the trip with the Billing Off-road show.
Very glad I sorted the wipers as the weather was awful until Lancashire then out came the sun! The show was great as always but the dust caused a few folk some health problems that could have been sorted with dampening down of parts of the track. Nice to see the traders and the ever increasing number of converters with their take on a 110 camper, not so keen on the prices mind 
We then move onto the Cotswolds staying next door to Clarksons Farm and the little shop, and yes we went to his pub as well… hopefully the merch and beer sales will keep the farm ticking over. The Defender developed a squeak under load and various experiments with WD40 on pulleys and pumps revealed its one of them…. Just not which one yet. The belt looks good so I’m guessing idler or tensioners to start then maybe look at getting the water and power steering pumps changed if it continues. Over to west Wales for my wife’s birthday and the campsite had pitches with hot tubs, very plush. Now back in the Lakes and again, I’m glad the wipers are working
One thing I did note on the travels..how much nicer the 110 rides compared to the 90.

Something that has bother me since buying the 110 was the drivers seat back foam. It had failed on left bolster so the metal bar dug me in the back. I took advantage of the Exmoor trim discount at Billing so when it arrived, I fitted it. I’d seen a YouTube video saying it would only take 30 mins and it was fairly accurate, i left mine overnight for the contact adhesive to cure before refitting the cover.
Bit of shame the Melville moon cover hides the now clean techno cloth, it’s now a much more comfortable place to be though.
