Hey, i recently bought this Defender off ebay, fitted with a 200TDI engine, its had a 2" lift and a few other bits and bobs, with more to come, few niggles to fix but the chassis is solid as a rock, bulk head looks good and it drives really well. anyway, these are the ebay pics, i will get a few more snaps over the weekend









 
thanks guys :)

not really anything major to show update wise, have sorted out a few of the niggles, main one being the indicators, when you indicated right just the front light worked and when you indicated left both rears came on...turned out to be wired up wrong at the back so the signal wire for the right indicator wasn't connected to the light, but the wire for the left one was, the rest of the issues were just earths, so easy to sort, then the headlights started to be a pain, near side would sometimes come on fine and sometimes be very dim, turned out to just be the switch, so got that sorted easy enough with a new one.

The landy also came with newer doors with electric window motors and central locking, none of which had been wired up, so, a couple of switches and a few relays later and a bit of wiring run about and the windows were working

and i ordered an alarm/imobiliser kit to control the door locks and got that all wired in too, with some lazy waterproofing...

the truck also came with a DAB radio, but no speakers...so...

also got sick of squinting when it was sunny, turns one Ford Capri visors bolt up...not ideal size wise...but hey, for free i am not complaining!

and i wasnt happy with the number plate, so thought i would get a vinyl one and stick it on the near side vent flap...time will tell if i get pulled over or if it will go through an MOT...
