Surely the first “must do” upgrade is a set of road legal registration plates? 🤔

[@hsdxb]

noo those are totally legal 😂

[@Roobarb_Defender]

@@hsdxb It’s difficult to pick up on here but I’m really hoping that you are being sarcastic! 🤣👍🏻

Reversing into that ford and saying a tyre deep puddle is quite deep is the least defender thing I’ve ever seen.

[@TimFosterLDN]

Hahahaha!! I was pointing at the part under the river.. But yes a tad dramatic ;)

[@scaryfakevirus]

I now back right onto the Surrey Hills. Moved from Dorset 6 years ago. Hard to move but now I'm here it's a nice area. And I have a 300tdi which I have modded to its eye balls and I love it.

Hello Tim, I spoke to briefly at the meet in London, great to see the functionality of the head unit, I have a V8 with a double din Pioneer, the stinger looks like a good upgrade. Stuart and Paul at Foley gave me great advice on my landy too.

[@TimFosterLDN]

Amazing! I hope Foley get it sorted for you

[@Antaioss]

Great video Tim!

[@TimFosterLDN]

Thanks so much! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

That poor defender is screaming out to be worked like it was designed for....

[@TimFosterLDN]

I like to look after it not ruin it :) Been "properly" off-roading many time and is great fun! But always something breaks...

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

Defenders get used for all sorts of things, which one do you think it should be used for?🤷‍♂️ mountain rescue, firefighting, ambulance, breakdown truck, farm vehicle, ferrying squaddies around a battlefield, overland camper, expedition truck, being someone’s daily driver is just as legitimate as any of the others.

[@phillips321]

@@Jabber-ig3iw mine is my daily driver, but I also use it for moving hay, carcasses and driving the family. And for going through flood water.

[@esquire_povey5775]

Enjoyed coming to the meet up in London recently! We have also installed the Stinger unit. It's absolutely brilliant. Have a few reversing camera connectivity issues on start up, which we are sorting, but otherwise fine. Mine is a very late 2011 Defender and all the gauges and other funtionality of the Heigh10 is there and working well.

[@TimFosterLDN]

Great to hear!

[@edbrooks8523]

An upgrade you don't have that you need - optimill removable steeringwheel boss & Swivel Lock

[@TimFosterLDN]

100%! I need this

[@marcojulich5744]

Hi Tim! Great video - where did you get the LED headlights from? Cheers from Germany!

[@TimFosterLDN]

They are from wipac 🙌🏼

[@conorjones4]

Do you wear the black and silver reg plates full time?

[@TimFosterLDN]

Maybe 👀

[@edfoley6485]

Amazing video, love to see the wellies have a bit of action

[@theindiepedaler387]

Tim, are you running V10 on your High10? You don’t seem to have all the other functionality available that the Stinger pulls off the OBD. This gives you more pages and shows all the Enhanced Vehicle Gauges, however this is only available on 2012-2016 models! I’ve just finished installing mine with the V12 update and have installed an 8 speaker + Sub with twin Focal Amps system.

[@TimFosterLDN]

Mine is a 2010 unfortunately.. :(

[@HeliRy]

That’s a really nice unit and screen. I’m torn as to whether it’s worth it though to lose those upper vents, when a more typical double din unit lets you keep them. Choices… choices…

[@TimFosterLDN]

yeah a good thing to ponder.. For me I don't miss the upper vents but very much love the big screen!

[@davidandrewmitchell5590]

Very smart defender 😊

[@TimFosterLDN]

Thanks so much!!

[@hsdxb]

good video but the sound is a bit funky

[@TimFosterLDN]

Yeah sorry about that!! :( Working on it for the next video
