Rear Door Gas Strut

Just about every time we need to go into the rear load area, somehow Sluggie has been parked in such a way that the rear door closes on you while you're ferreting around in the back. Either that or the wind blows and shuts the door behind you.

Headlights

The headlamp lighting circuit on a Defender unfortunately routes the current destined for the headlight lamps through the steering column switches. This results in at least two problems. Firstly, there is excessive electric wear on the column switches as a good amount of current gets dumped through switch. Secondly, there is a voltage drop at the headlight lamps due to a combination of the run lengths and the small gauge cable used to route the power.
