Hi everybody!
I'm Megan (or just Mog as most people call me
), I'm from the Beautiful Lake District, living in the middle of nowhere, although i'm originally from the Peak District area.
After a year of trying to search for a good Defender, along with the steadily increasing prices and less Defenders hitting the market, I finally picked up my first Defender last Saturday (after a 6 and a half hour drive from West Lakes to West Sussex to go pick it up!).
And here she is, me and Daisy, my new Defender
Daisy is a 1991 200tdi Defender with Galv chassis, rock sliders, diff guards, steering guard etc, she has 200k miles on the clock, and has done for the last 4 MOT's So probably closer to 215-220K looking at what mileage has been put on previously before the broken speedo But she starts first time, no smoke and sounds and drives like a dream, even the gearbox feels good!! She was an absolute bargain, hence the 6 and a half hour drive to collect her, WORTH IT!
By the way, if anyone knows a good Garage and bodyshop in the Lakes, let me know because I need some work doing
I'm not new to Land Rovers by any means, when I was younger my dad had a 1979 Series 3 109, lots of smoke, no brakes and I use to count the lines on the road through the holes in the floor Not to mention the rivers that use to flow inside it when it was raining We later fitted in a Daihatsu engine in, it did make a big improvement (just not to the holes or the leaks!!).
He now has a shiny black TD5 110, bit of a difference
So once again, HI EVERYBODY!!
