Oh and how many other defender owner here have any trousers with the rear belt loop in one piece? Virtually every pair I own have been hooked up and ripped on the door catch :evil:

Laughed out loud at this - I thought it was only me!!!!!!

Oh, and the seatbelts, I instinctively check they are clear before closing the door - only slam them in the catch 2 or 3 times a month now after 15 years of Defenders - doh!!! A

Post by: Lee_D on November 10, 2009, 19:22:50: I had this problem because the belt didn't retract properly. New belts all around and its fine since. I had to swap the belts as they began to fray.

Regards the trouser loops been there. Although the 110 latch is better than the one on the 101 which was more like a clothes peg.

Think yourself lucky you weren'r wearing your mankini :lol:
