Updated: Land Rover Snow Ploughs
In the US now, there's snow. Lots and lots of it. Here in the UK the media is constantly warning that this winter is going to be horrendous (or in other words, winter will be winter) and there will be a total white out. Whilst these phrases strike fear into the hearts of your typical motorist, every Land Rover and Range Rover owner in the country let's out a cheeky smile. For them it means weeks of fun, playing the hero and just generally being awesome. So with that in mind, we thought we'd double fun. We've put together a break down of some of the snow ploughs available, specifically designed for use with Landys.
New from MUD: Snow Cowl
Snow is finally starting to settle in some parts of the UK, and hopefully, we'll be due a lot more. Just as the snow starts to fall, MUD UK have perfectly timed the launch of their new Snow Cowl.

James Curries’ Land Rover 90 Project: Part 1
I had been looking for a 90 for a while. I have had Range Rovers, and a Disco but still wanted a 90/Defender, so when this one was offered to me I thought....why not? In a way, I kind of wished I had bought another disco or RR, but then I would have still wanted a defender! It had 6 moths MOT, and was priced at £2999, I took it for a test drive and it seemed to drive ok, I had a good look round the chassis and spotted a couple of holes.
Odd places that Land Rovers get to
Fed up before work tomorrow? Have a little chuckle at the expense of some other Land Rover owners. It's often said that there's no stopping a Land Rover. But sometimes, just sometimes, when the moon aligns just right with the sun, our favourite rashes of bacon fly and the fiery underworld is covered in a crystal glitter, they get stuck. But when they come unstuck, it certainly makes for an epic picture.
Updated: What Makes a Defender Iconic?
Unless you've had your head under a rock for the last few days, you'll be aware that Land Rover have shown a few concept pics of the potential, 2015 replacement Defender. Granted, it's very early days for this vehicle, with the JLR top-brass and design directors saying it's only a very early concept design that will evolve before it's release.
Heatshot Heated Windscreen Washer
Sooner or later it's going to get very cold. Despite the recent run of abnormally warm weather for this time of year, winter will be cold, as always. And with that cold weather comes those horrible, bitter mornings spent scraping windscreens to remove ice, with little frozen shavings flying all over your face and down your sleeves. It's making us feel miserable just thinking about it. If you've ever poured warm water on your screen, you'll know this is sooo much easier, but it's strongly advised against as the sudden change in temperatures can crack the glass. But, Terrafirma have released a new product that should put an end to that.
Your Opinion: FunRover Products
In the office, we've recently been considering creating our own line of Land Rover accessories and upgrades. However, we wanted to ask you guys and girls, the FunRover community, your thoughts and feelings on such news. Our ultimate goal is to not make just another generic, dull and uninspiring range of products - and let's face it, there are a lot of "me too" type products around.
