How easy is it to fit the Spare Wheel Adaptor?

Hello, to be clear it is better to call them "unsealed" (accepted by Defra) as 'unmetalled' can be taken to mean that it is not 'made up' at all, and that's unlikely to be true as past laws have required all vehicular roads to be made up. The original meaning was based on the Latin for stone or quarrying but has been used sometimes to mean tarmacked - so we can never be sure what unmetalled means! If people get the notion that we are using routes where the surface cannot take our traffic, then they will see it as unsustainable and will try to stop us. Thanks.

Cracking day Rory. Love the camera work.

Great looking lane! What fun. Guy in red sure is helpful 😘

Very admirable gents !

great footage Rory

Yes, it is sensitive. There's currently a Consultation being considered, but we have no idea what they will come up with - and even if it will be legal. The emphasis is useful - we only ride "fully legal byways", but don't let any of the public get the idea that there is such a thing as a "not fully legal byway", because there is no such thing. There are no 'loopholes' over where we ride - they are all Roads. Avoid the highly misleading term "unclassified" - they are not all unclassified anyway ... just means that they are in a lower class along with 60% of roads in England and Wales. Routes that we use are either Byway (BOAT - a public right of way for mechanically propelled vehicles) or County Road (on the county Council's 'List of Streets' along with all other Roads). It's just that the Roads we enjoy are not tarmacked - they are unsealed - like 75% of the world's Roads.

having to do this on a overpriced vehicle proves how stupid people are, these are the worst designed car on the planet

Good footage Rory ! Nice to see Husqvarna now sponsors you 😀

This is exactly why I prefer the 3 bike slot, so the bike can be positioned on slot 1 and 3. Why did Thule not leave enough space to each bike? I don't know 🫣

Perfect solution to a problem I didn’t know I had. Looks great thank you

Best day out yet 👍

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life John 3:16 Jesus loves you❤

How did you do the wiring? Isn't the battery under the driver's seat, so you'd have to route the wiring under the floorboard, to the front?

Thanks for this review. I have decided on a p400e cancelled order that I am collecting next week. You have covered aspects of the vehicle that nobody else seems to - such as the jack. Really helpful.

I rode some of this as part of a RallMoto roadbook and whilst doing the full Welsh TET with the Army, they all chickened out and we took a diversion LOL 😂

Nice day for a ride out!

Thoughts: 1. It’ll take more than 10 years to become a problem 2. Use it, write it off over 12-15 years and you’ll never have to deal with it 3. All cars corrode 4. Aluminium corrodes as well and even to the point of failure.

Why? I have a 2023 75th Edition defender and only once had a battery low, that was when I had been doing lots really short journeys and it was very cold weather it got low. But I keep a booster pack in the boot if ever needed. Can't see the reason to constantly charge?

Neat. Thanks for explaining it 😊

Where is this please mate

Would you be able to share the route you took. I am a member off glass and tw2 even just some references

Is that a Stoplock Pro Elite model?

Nice. Would you ever consider a Cybertruck if it ever makes it to the uk?

How many cans did you need for the vehicle?

Where abouts as im from Gloucester and looking to get into green lanes and offroading.

Great video mate 👍🏼 This is all very local to me. When I join the TRF is this all available to plot a gpx route via the green map ?

Those buzzards are making a racket... Love it 🥰

Imagine having to manually charge your battery on a brand new car..because you open the doors..come on..

I'm completely with you on PHEVs. Plug it in every day or don't bother buying one, regardless of the tax breaks. I'm not with you on Grassmere Green though - ok on the bodywork but on the wheels - no!

You can buy a fat bike mount, they are much longer .

Thanks for the video, I was just wondering if this is the rack which tilts down so you can open conventional boot doors that go up, I was wondering if this tilted down and if there was any room for having the landrovers boot open at all even a foot or so . Thank you

Looking good Rory 👍🏼

Thanks for the real review!

Isn't the defender long enough to fit the bikes inside with the second row folded ? Unless you need the second the and the third rows open and /or want to keep the insides clean.

I went to test drive one last week at a LR dealer, they had to use a jump pack as the battery was flat! The casual nature with which this happened did suggest it's not uncommon... I still bought it though, I'll buy a jump pack and a ctek, just in case... How have you been finding the off road tyres on road?

thanks you Rory 🙂; I m will going to buy a trailer and I don't know what to do with this sticker 🙂

The new 2024 Tesla Model Y Juniper, will have vented seats, and will be out soon. I’m not sure on right hand drive model, might take longer. Maybe you can trade yours in for that one? Only thing is the new Model Y will get rid of the steering wheel left and right stocks. 😢 I owned a 2018 Model 3 when it first came out. After 6 years of ownership, with all the numerous over the air updates. It was a totally different car. You can’t have that is any other car. That is the best part of owning a Tesla. It’s always evolving to customers input. By the way, I just found out. Once you turn the wipers on, with the left stock button, immediately use the left scroll wheel, to toggle right or left for wiper speed. No need to use the screen. It’s allot safer to do it this way. I find the auto setting doesn’t work well. Congratulations on your new Tesla Model Y. 🎉

I have ordered a 110 HSE and intending putting some Powerful bits a pieces on so I am interested as to where you have attached the CTEK as I thought the battery was under the drivers seat.

If you press the boot button and just open that, the Pivi system doesn’t start up, sometimes i reckon I open the boot 20 to 30 times a day as I use the vehicle for work. Also if you leave a normal door open It will shut down after a few minutes (I’ve had the doors open all day whilst the dog sleeps on back seat) Never had a low battery warning in 3 years. It’s the opening and closing that keeps firing up the Pivi system .

Wait, so your battery literally drains from opening the door too many times? LOL, imagine being away at a camp site over a weekend, and you and the kids go in and out of your car 30 times over a weekend and because you literally opened your doors, your battery is flat. If this was my car, I'd be taking it back to the dealer for a refund.

Respectfully …. Have you extended both wheel troughs and light mounts outwards?

The state of those rims 😂

I like it Land Rover and colour .Beautiful car❤❤❤

I have a 75th with a pedal lock I fit. How do I turn off the door handle push buttons?

Nice colour ❤❤❤

Thanks for your feedback...In 12 months of ownership of my 23 Defender I haven't had to call on JLR for assistance. I've had an interim service and health check done and the Dealer's service has been professional. (I have owned 3 Land Rovers since 1997)

Hi just picked mine up, and you are absolutely right ,they still don’t tell about the rubbish boot space, wish I had kept my 3ltr diesel se. Wish I had done some more home work. They are still having issues with supplies, it came without mud flaps,tow bar,sidesteps, and scuff plate,wheel arch protectors. Good video thanks .

nice video. Where can I buy the protection?
