SUPPLEMENTAL WHAT IF ANYTHING DO I MISS ABOUT MY OLD DEFENDER? Now l was thinking about this tonight while listening to my missus playing in a swing band. l was reading about a woman who was a Leprosy Doctor in Vietnam in early 1962, and she...

Just natural restrictions… trees & expensive roof tents. Went round the corner 100yards in & found water ditch & low stuff. Only single track. Started tidworth tank crossing,up past back gates & looped over ranges(flags down) using old malbough...

Height restriction on this lane. It is a 1 way lane & signed from nine mile river. Standard motors fit but not with roof rents. Low branches.

Hi and welcome! +1 for pics of the series 1!

First time since I bought it. A proper clean! Underneath, inside and outside. Took ALL DAY 🤣 got quite alot of the scratches out. Quick polish too Exhaust pic 😀

MAY UPDATE, NEW DEFENDER Well, the new Defender is still performing without issues. Mileage is now 12,000. l still find myself looking at late model Puma 110XS for sale while sat in the bath, but at the moment l am sticking with the new one...

Hi and welcome!

Mine going in ... The rear runs along the axle, up the A frame, along the chassis under the driver seat and up to near the clutch master. The front along the radius arm and up behind the front inner wing, along the froint of the seat box and...

I’m sure some sellers have unrealistic expectations of what things are worth.

I have put up on here a pic of the Series one with a crane on the back that has been parked outside a garage in Middleham ,Yorkshire Dales for as long as we have been going there which is since 1991 on and off. Still there according to street...

Indeed it would have been, I'll get round to buying one sometime.

Inform the council the trees have overgrown and is impeding horses. They will them cut back and annoy the woman. Alway be polite and smile. You never know when your been filmed (or doing the filming)

Was the disco that the axle from involved in an accident before being stripped? Might explain if there is any damage to mountings meaning it doesn’t sit quite straight, although this would probably be picked up when fitting?

Judging by the other tractors in the hedge, his attitude is not confined to just the Landy.

A dashcam would be helpful to show her behaviour.

Forgot to add... Just waiting on a few bits to arrive. Normally closed pneumatic solenoid, dont trust the alliexpress one to actually last 😅 Will mount it in engine bay on the bulkhead Also got some stainless steel braided sleeve. I can run...

Finished all the welding on the exhaust! Sounds bloody brilliant!! 😄😄😄😄 Also forgot how much exhaust noise is actually taken out by the VNT so its perfectly acceptable to drive around in ASBO mode 😂 normally. From the drivers perspective 😅 On...

Hi and welcome! I went to fit a cubby box to my 200Tdi 90 in January only to find issues with removing the centre seat. Nothing is ever straightforward on a Landy! Have you tried removing the carpet and sound proofing to follow the plug and...

Getting a bit tight down the sides

Inlet and intercooler pipe painted. Hopefully will fit at the weekend.

Drove to Greys Court, Rotherfield Greys, for a Landy picnic and a real good tour of the house and the splendid gardens and grounds...and even under near constant drizzle, Greys Court is a fascinating place. It was our very first visit despite...

Replaced a wiper,had already purchased a spare. Got some more engine oil for spare Drove it & had plenty of enjoyment. . Was given full wheel bearing kit,5lts gearbox oil

So meet up with another friend off the ferry And overnight down near Poole. The D4 decided not to continue so it was just me and the Hilux. So as the next stop for us both were near my home and flags again down we decided a trip round again. No...

2 separate trips out onto Salisbury plain. Met up at tidworth on the tank crossing & as the red flags were down & gates open meant I could use permissive (red flag) routes. Avoided the chalk mud pits. The D4 end box fell off and he lost the door...

Tell me about it! You could pick up a decent series wing for a tenner in the mid 90’s!

I wish they still were as cheap, still looking forward to it.

If you don’t need the 4” lift, I’d revert back to standard. It will handle much better and new shocks and springs in standard will transform the ride. Otherwise, old man emu are very good, but very expensive. 235/70 16 tyres will also look lost...

Old man emu 👍🏻😉

I went some years ago and it wasn’t busy at all. In fact, I was surprised how small the event was then. It coincided with an attempt at a new record for the most landies in one gathering which likely didn’t help numbers.
