Great Jumper / Happy Christmas to Simons Mum … and the rest of the PowerfulUK Team

Amazing to see the company evolve over the years Simon 👍

Evoque and Velar both are already available to order as ‘26MY, no refresh/facelift or redesign. I’m hoping the Velar, Evoque, Disco (VI), & Disco Sport all get full redesigns for ‘27MY and RR, RR Sport, & Defender all get refreshes/facelifts soon too. Some of them are getting pretty old. I just got my ‘25MY RR Full-size, which is my dream car. Absolutely love it.

Impressive operation you have there Simon. Hope the new employer NIC increases don't scupper it all for you. 🤞

Hey Simon and team, snorkel indeed needs a water extraction if forward facing or even rear facing as in the rain it will suck in or vortex in under certain circumstances or heavy throttle. We added water extraction to our sealed snorkel design (right to the airbox) just noticed also the ladder at the back covers the existing reversing light so probably wouldn't be legal in many countries and also stops the ability to upgrade to your great light upgrade kit.

[andrewmiddlemiss]

Those new rear ladders can't be used with the extra reversing light on the left side unless you have a solution, Simon.

[commander_lard]

ref the front or back intake for the snorkel - it would be great if there's was a switch/level so a flappy panel switched between the two and you could choose which!

[JamesB-kt]

Is that finally a watertight air snorkel?

[NewDefenderOverland]

I’d look to be beta tester for the bonnet electronic device as looking to get the expedition rack top light.

Also interested in getting the fuel carriers on a Molle plate so will be ordering those next year.

The defender snorkel definitely needs the air vent on the back for sand and dust pollution as well - I’m holding off buying one as the one you’ve preview looks very robust.

If you need a 130 to design some bits and pieces I’m happy to have a drive down as I see that the parts are mostly targeted at 90 and 110.
I’m very much into my EcoFlow products with the wave2 air con, glacier fridge and electric generators - looking at a shelf that sits high up and a pull out slider for the fridge meaning I need to take the very back seats out of the 130.
So again if you want more content happy to come down.

Finally merry Christmas to you and your team Simon, your videos have been great for me as a new defender 130 owner who’s currently making an expedition wagon out of my defender for an Africa trip in 2025!

[marcjennings]

Love your videos! When will you do the 13" screen?

[clivehannaford]

Snorkel grill on the back. When going through puddles, the Defender has a tendency to throw water over the windscreen (and therefore into the snorkel if it had a front grill)

With the AllMakes rear ladder, if you have the additional PowerfulUK LED rear reversing light kit fitted, would the left hand side rear LED housing need to be adjusted if the ladder is mounted in that area, can the bottom plate of the ladder have a mounting bracket for the additional LED housing if it needs to be moved and would you need to allow for a increased length of cable and new considerations for water proofing?, as the current LED rear reversing kit setup sits flush on both left and right hand side in the bumper. This might be a consideration for either the AllMakes or new Powerful UK rear ladder setup... just a consideration to think about...

[autoban]

Do you have anymore of the re trimmed freelancer 2 prefacelift steering wheel?

[grahameroberts]

Onya mum! Nice clobber. I would also like to congratulate your design ’engineers’. The thought and practical uses for your various vehicle knick-knacks is world class. 👍🏻🙏🦘

[johan]

That canbus reader for light control looks really promising. Been waiting for that? Might be interested I testing if thats posible

[johnwillett]

I'm sure I have seen pictures of the new Discovery 6 on-line - looks better than the Disco 5, but not as good as the Disco 4.

I like the new Disco 3/4 door handle protectors. Also - will these be available in grey as well (like the door protector)? as my D4 is silver.

Will the door protector for the new Defender fit the Disco 3/4?

[giff]

With regard to the Clearsight did you make any considerations towards your observation that Varifocal spec wearers have the challenge of looking up and towards the left when driving ?
Sentence far too long 😂

Hi Simon…….Another interesting video …… it’s amazing what 3D printers can do!!!! They may put the Chinese out of business!!!!
Have you seen the Alibaba $4000.00 US$ Range Rover???
