We know that when you shop online you want your order as soon as possible. Choose DHL shipping in the checkout and order before 2pm then you’ll get your stuff the next working day.

On smaller items we also offer a 2nd Class postage service. This normally takes 2-3 working days to show up at your door. If you’re in a rush go for the DHL option for a fully tracked service.

Big Stuff! Unfortunately, our Side Panels, Bulkhead Bars and longer lengths of Cargo Tracking are too big for DHL to handle. We generally use UPS or Fed-Ex but that’s on an ad-hoc basic so you need to order before 12 to get a next day service.

We charge the same rate to any UK address, which includes Highlands and Islands and Northern Ireland. We do this because we think its unfair to charge more just because you live remotely, lets be honest if we could, we’d live there too. In exchange please be patient if your parcel takes more than one day to arrive.

European Shipping

We use DHL to ship to all our European customers, this can range from a 1-5 working day service. The good news is most parcels arrive within 3 days of shipping. If you’re lucky enough to live in France, Germany or Belgium you might even get your parcel the next day.

Once you’ve ordered DHL will be in touch by email with tracking details. If you’ve chosen Royal Mail shipping then you should receive your parcel in around 10 working days (note this can be up to 28 working days).

VAT Numbers: If you have a VAT & EORI number please contact us before you check out.

 

Important information for customers within the European Union

Following the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union there have been changes to import and export practices. Customers within the EU will no longer pay UK Tax. 

When the parcel arrives within your country you may be liable to pay both local VAT, import duty and admin charges. Please do not ask us to estimate the cost of any additional costs once the parcel has the left the UK. These charges are levied locally, they will vary from country to country.

As the buyer you are responsible for paying these charges, which must be paid before your goods are delivered. If you decline to pay the charges then the goods will be returned to us. Goods returned as a result of payment failure will be refunded. Please note we can only refund the cost of your original order. Delivery costs will not be refunded. Refused parcels may also levy re-entry fees into the UK, they will also be deducted from your refund. If you are thinking of rejecting a parcel due to customs charges, we strongly recommend you contact us first before you reject the parcel. 

If you require further information, we recommend contacting your local tax office.

Please Note: If you live in The Alps or somewhere equally beautiful and hard to get to, we might have to use DPD or TNT to deliver. They should be just as quick.

USA & Canada Shipping

American & Canadian customers can expect a 2-3 working day service with DHL, depending on whether your East or West Coast.  DHL will be in touch via email with all the info you need once you’ve placed your order.

Rest of the World Shipping

The good news is we ship to pretty much everywhere (we don’t ship to Russia, sorry!).

The best service to choose is DHL, most parcels are delivered within 4 working days. This service is fully tracked and DHL will email you with all the details as soon as they’ve collected your ‘stuff’

If your parcel is light enough, you’ll be offered Royal Mail shipping in the checkout process. This will be delivered locally by your nearest post office. We’ve found that some countries have better postal systems than others. It can take up to 20 working days for post to arrive, so if you are in a rush please choose DHL in the checkout.

Customs & Duties

All packages imported to your country may be subject to customs, taxes or other fees. You are responsible for all applicable customs, duties, taxes and fees charged by your government.

We cannot guarantee that you will or will not be charged any customs taxes or duties.

If you’re worried about possible charges please contact your country's customs office prior to purchasing for respective charges and rates on packages coming from outside of your country.

If you decline parcels locally due to customs duty/tax charges then the goods will be returned to ourselves. Note this will incur further charges which we will debit from your refund, this can often be more than the original customs charges so we would advise you not to do this. If you have made a mistake with your order/ cannot pay the import duty charges then please get in contact with us and we will try to work out the best way forward for you.

Note: Please don’t ask us to declare your goods as a gift, or to value your items at less than they are worth. We’d love to be able to help you out, but we don’t want to end up in jail!

Returns & Exchanges

Once we receive your returned parcel, we will process everything accordingly and keep you updated via email. We aim to refund customers the same day that an item is returned. If you originally paid by PayPal then you should receive the refund instantly. However, if you paid by sage pay using a credit or debit card it can sometimes take a few days for refunds to be credited.

Refresh your Defender dashboard

Unlike the original MUD Defender Console that is supplied as a completely blank fascia that you cut-out yourself, the 2.0 Fascia revision comes supplied with our own switch mount housings that fit into pre-cut holes in the 2.0 fascia.

All of the switch mount holes are CNC machined for accuracy. The switch mounts simply push into place with no trimming required significantly cutting down the time required for the install.

Mimic the Defender Td5 fascia

The upper area of the fascia mimics the seven-switch layout of the late-model Td5 console and accepts any of the same factory switches that would normally fit into that same location on a Td5 Defender.

The smaller pre-cut holes to the sides of the fascia have been designed to accept two alternative switch mounts (Genuine Electric window switches or Carling switches). Both versions will accept the standard Tdci style heated seat switch.

Which radio should i fit?

The central recess of the fascia has been intentionally left blank for mounting a Single DIN or Double DIN head unit. This is the only cutting you’ll have to do yourself. We’ve included witness-marks on the reverse side of the console to act as a convenient guide when creating the cut-out in the console plastic for your mounting cage. Remember! The hole you need to cut should be based on the size of your DIN cage not the screen size. The lines on the back of the console are a guide only. Measure twice, cut once!

We offer both single DIN and double DIN radio's here should you be wishing to update your head unit at the same time as refreshing your dashboard.

Here you'll find parts that relate to the product page you're currently viewing. They may be listed in the product description as additional components you will need, or simply a helpful suggestion for other parts along a similar theme.

Which Electric Window switch option should I choose?

We have designed the MUD Console 2 to accept two different styles of Electric window switch.

Option LR accepts the (increasingly difficult to source) factory style OE Defender electric window switch and/or the window switches used in the popular Britpart retrofit electric window kit.  

Option CA  accepts the popular Carling Technologies Contura electric window (momentary) switches. Note you will also need switch rockers for this switch.

Choose Option ‘LR’ or ‘CT’ to suit your electric window
switch style you when ordering.

If you don’t have electric windows then we offer both Genuine Land Rover Electric window switch blanks and Carling blanks .

Which switches should i fit?

The switch mounts supplied with the MUD Console 2.0 will accept any of the Genuine Land Rover switches found in Td5 and Tdci Defenders as well as Discovery 1 & 2 models. The switch holes with the MUD Console do not have a keyway so any of the switches will fit into any of the 6 switch holes along the top of the console .

The switch mounts will also accept our own range of factory style MUD switches that provide a much greater range of switch legends than Land Rover ever
provided.

Recreating the Td5 dash

If you want to faithfully recreate the Defender Td5 dashboard fascia then you'll need the following switches. Note each switch will require a housing connector in order to wire up the switch. Housing connectors are specific to each switch, find more information on which version you need with the switch pages below.

Rear Fog- YUG000530LNF
Rear Wash- YUE000070LNF
Rear Wipe- YUG000350LNF
Hazard- YUG000180LNF
Heated Rear Screen- YUG000470LNF
Heated Front Screen- YUG000460LNF
Blank switch- AMR5432 or Spot/Fog 2 (can be used for auxiliary lamps)- YUG000540LNF

Electric windows x2- YUF101880
Heated seat x2- YUF500150LNF

Re-wiring switches

If you're looking to convert your old style switches (e.g Hazard) to the more modern switches we have some wiring guides in the 'resource' tab on this page. Please note MUD does not offer any 'off-the-shelf' wiring solutions and we are not a Land Rover auto-electrical resource so please conduct your own research when converting switches as we will be unable to advise on individual wiring solutions.

Heated seat switches

The heated seat switches fit directly below the electric window switches. On the original Td5 dash the switch was a different orientation to the switches along the top row.

To make life easier (and save you money!) we have changed this so that the switch is the same orientation as along the top row. That means you can either fit the MUD Heated seat switch or the Genuine Tdci heated seat switch in that position.

If you don't have heated seats the design we've chosen means you can fit any other MUD or genuine Land Rover switch or blank it off (as described below).

What about unused switch holes?

If you don't wish to move your hazard switch across you can blank the switch hole off using the Td5/Tdci Hazard blank.

Likewise any switch holes you wish not to populate can be blanked off using our MUD switch blanks. These will fit the 6 'landscape' switches along the top row, along with the 'portrait' heated seat holes above the electric windows.

Power sockets

The 29mm diameter circular recessed hole creates space for mounting a 12v/USB power socket.

On the opposite side recess, we’ve included a 6mm pilot hole. This can be opened up and utilised to relocate the original rotary style Rear Wash/Wipe (now obsolete) switch or for adding another USB power socket.

You can also use our Td5/Tdci style USB sockets which will fit in any of the 8 rectangular genuine switch holes if you have any spare that you don't wish to populate with switches.

Frequently asked Questions

Will the MUD Console fit my post 2002 Td5 Defender?

No! The console only fits 200tdi, 300tdi and the early Td5 vehicles up to 2002. We offer a Double DIN console for the Defender Td5 dashboard please click this link. 

I want to fit 'other' switches to my dashboard can I use this console?

The MUD Console 2 has been designed to fit the Land Rover factory switches. If you want to fit different switches, or in different configurations we recommend you choose the MUD Console 1 which gives you a blank canvas to fit whatever switches/ radio configuration you desire.

Will the MUD Console fit my Series III?
