PLUMB Fuel Flap Upgrade for New Land Rover Defender L663 110

[@abkcharters]

Love the airtag hiding place. Great idea, thank you. I assume its outside to stop the thief hearing any sounds the tag may give out. Genius.

[@L663]

Yes and it has better reception as the fuel flap is just plastic

[@jeznh464]

Great video Simon, but that’s proper tat!

[@adriansaunders4878]

You have so much fun!! Agree with the comment about it being a pointless upgrade and I'm really glad you realised the cap was upside down! Merry Christmas!!

[@paulkedwards]

Can’t say it’s something I would rush out and buy but an interesting video as always. Looking forward to the next update on the 90 flat floor and wishing you and all at Powerfulukltd a very Merry Christmas and an even more successful 2023 🎄 😊

[@L663]

Flat floor project is progressing - just designing the metal brackets today

[@HQBProductions]

I would not buy those into stock because it is a fiddly job and looks strange when done…And £200+???… not sure that would work!! 🙂😀😀😀

[@888johnmac]

Simon , thanks for rotating your filler cap .. and Kate , funky christmas jumper

[@L663]

No problem 👍

[@marekkremen852]

Simon, can you do some video how to adjust the fuel flap?

[@philip9657]

Looked better with the original

[@rafflesnh]

Even though I hope I never have to carry out such a procedure, I really found watching this quite fascinating. Sad, aren't I!! 😆

[@L663]

This was self inflicted pain that i am not sure was really needed.... but it is interesting to see how cars are designed and assembled !

[@stephensmith2552]

Always great to see Simon bumble through another project, As for this one I don’t really see the point. 🤔

[@ianbarnard7682]

Great video as always. Horrible piece of kit though. OEM is far better. Merry Christmas.

[@trevorjordan1787]

Bit of a waste of money if you ask me Simon. However, nice video on fitting it, but next time wear more bling. Happy Christmas to you all 🎉

[@L663]

OK gold chain and rings are coming out for the next bling video !

[@joshuapinter]

Completely useless but that looks pretty slick. Well done with the fitment of it!

[@jimmyquinn9639]

Lovely job and merry Christmas 🚘🚙🚗⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@L663]

Thanks, you too!

[@manorbleak1]

To me that would seem to be an utterly pointless mod. We need some better Xmas jumpers too please Simon.

[@L663]

I am sure Mrs Powerful hides my "best" jumpers...

[@johnj596]

Is there a way to replace the plastic door with a metal one like the old Land Rovers? I never liked when they switched them to plastic. It feels so cheap! Especially on the Range Rover.

[@kfgr3]

Hi mate!!!! You know what happen with the ligh On The Dashboard, Lower coolant, is Flashing all time? La mnd rover Freelander 2008

[@bentyson5168]

Great video. ... I would question why this product even exists in the first place. Is it cool to see the fuel filler? IDK. hahaha Happy Holidays

[@richardhunt1384]

Now everyone knows where you've hidden your Air Tag Simon!! 🤣🤣

[@L663]

Well technically not now as now i have the plumb accessory !

[@WizzardPrang]

Excellent as always Simon, although I personally prefer the body coloured original. Also, I can't help wondering if anyone at the Nitra plant ever watches you dismantling all their hard work. 🤣

[@sssamsamsam9]

does the plumb sticker come off?

[@MC-vt5cm]

Brillant accessories

[@L663]

The engineering is impressive ! the price is high !

[@hedydd2]

Just why? Might as well just remove the original door and fit a locking fuel cap like we used to do in the early 1970’s. Could even be a chrome one for added bling [yuk!]

[@laurenceholdcroft9965]

Why would you want to remove a panel that matches the bodywork and replace it with a panel that shows the filler cap?

[@L663]

Hmmm - yes i am beginning to wonder ...

[@Defender3d]

No, just no.

[@L663]

Hi Tim - yep - nicely engineered but does not really solve a problem !

[@ecossearthur]

Boom Boom!!

[@thecrankster]

What a bleeding faff for absolutely no reason.

[@L663]

Seems a few people are of the same opinion !

[@moobaz8675]

Interesting but a waste of money, it doesn't add anything. However, does your fuel flap lock? My dealer says that the locking fuel flap is only fitted on the 400e. To be honest, I'm not impressed having to buy an old fashioned key locking fuel cap.

[@Stubear22374]

I must ask why you would want to see your cap, not for me I’d rather leave it as it is

[@paulmcgrath3159]

Is it just me that rotates my 90’s diesel cap so it is upright even though it’s hidden 😅 suits the looks of the stig but not sure I can see much of a market for that

[@L663]

Hi Paul - I dont stock them and they are not cheap - £400-500 ish! People asked me to check them out.... I could stock them but its a bit risky at the price ?

[@markfoot4208]

All that work for a pointless mod I don’t like it. Keep up the good work Simon great videos.

[@L663]

I am interested to see the responses to this one.

[@johnspear3452]

I think that is a waste of time and money. All of the accessories I've fitted have a good use, bar one and that's your blue anodised filler cap cover, which I just like, but I don't feel the need to show it off.

[@L663]

Wait till you hear the price.... £400-500 !

[@nohedes]

Well I have to concur that the fuel filler cap is garbage, but I also thought the new Defender has a built in tracker. Certainly I get regular false alarm calls from the Land Rover security people (apparently there’s a well known bug that causes false alarms)

[@JamieM85]

Why would some go to the trouble to design it in the first place, let alone part with their hard earned and fit it!

[@L663]

You are not alone in asking that question - i think it was an idea that was copied across from JEEP.....

[@petergarner5991]

Well Simon, if you like that kind of thing, it's great, I'm sure some people want it. Personally I think it's a waste of time and money. It's the first thing I haven't liked.

[@L663]

Hi Peter - I am not offended.... its not one of our own designs or even a product we sell !

[@petergarner5991]

@@L663 Simon just giving a honest opinion. Take care.

[@roboakey187]

If you want to order from Plumb I'll take the Key holder

[@L663]

Hi Rob - we did the Key holder video today !

[@mvirdi2333]

[@zoid9969]

Looked better before, especially as Stig is white and the filler flap is black - bit of a colour clash. The "Plumb" logo is a bit annoying as well - will they pay you for advertising? I'm not sure I see the point of the product. It lets you see the filler cap, but unless you have a really flashy one like Simon does, then it's not that interesting to look at, surely? I think if I had a Defender, I wouldn't let Plumb products anywhere near it. They look well-made, but aesthetically they're rather jarring and seem like a solution looking for a problem. What next? See-through wheels so you can see inside your tyres, perhaps?

[@L663]

Patent the see through tyres ! Your points are valid and well presented

[@charlesshepherd2388]

Very nice but for $600 i will have to say no.

[@L663]

You and many others....

[@johnwillett4086]

Pretty useless really and makes the vehicle look worse - much better to use the original and hide the Air Tag behind it - great idea that. I also use an Air Tag in my vehicle; but I hide it inside the vehicle in a place that is not blocked by metal. Air Tag batteries last about a year, so you don't need to change batteries very often.

[@L663]

Hi John - yes i was pretty happy with my airtag hideout ! Not many fans of the fuel flap at the moment.

[@factual6591]

Why bother with all this? (Mr PLUMB has too much spare time)

[@L663]

He also knows how to charge for his products..... £300-£400 for this item !

[@Petrolhead912]

🤭

[@directdrains6107]

Too much of a flath

[@L663]

Fair point !
