Don't do it !!
Ollie,
leave the laptop packed in the back. Upfront in a cramped Defender on rough roads it will get in the way, and it will break. Guarranteed. Plus when it gets sunny you won't be able to see the screen anyway.
Like Darren says - Keep it simple. I've tried all the gadgets and am happiest with custom-printed maps - batteries last for ever, dust-proof, shatter-proof and bend-proof etc. etc. try finding tech like that! Get yourself a cheapie Etrex and you are away.
If you really, really, really want a screen-based gadget get a PDA and mount it on the dash like someone has already suggested. You can run TOMTOM for Europe and Ozieexplorer for everywhere else on it. Your GPS mouse should work with it too.
