Hi, I would just like to introduce myself. I’m Giles, I’m picking up my first ever 90 1996 300tdi defender on Sunday and I’m buzzing for it. Very low mileage of 106000 so very happy with that. Any useful info please send my way. Look forward to having a read and gaining as much knowledge as possible for my adventure with my new 90.

Enjoy it, but please secure it with as many devices as possible.

Cheers mate. Have purchased a steering lock. You know of any other devices I could get?

Welcome to the club!
A pedal lock (X Defend or similar) are good. A tilt alarm are also good to have as the 90 is often just lifted from the driveway and shoved on a truck.

Hi and welcome from Stroud!

As already said, invest in some decent security measures for it, they very popular with thieves. But don’t forget to add a pic or two for our perusal too.

The list is endless, if you fit an alarm fit the siren in the cab,
As said steering lock good, but on its own waste of time, but it is mechanical security you want, with more than one of them.
Plenaty of cheap trackers out there some diy (TK103 for example) and some subscription.

Think like a thief, ie make yours harder to steal than the next nearest one.

Have a google, they are stolen so much the list of anti theft gear is almost limitless.

Christ I’m gonna have to get a few more things on her then. Fingers crossed she will be on my driveway for a good few years before anything bad happens to her. Thanks for the advice.
