New Member Defender 300tdi!

Luminol · Jun 26, 2018

Hi,

I’m new and have just finally got my first defender (im 32 so have waited a while).

It’s a 1997 300tdi 90 in Arles blue and love it! It’s got a few leaks and bits to sort but enjoying owning it.

I’ve owned a few Jeep Cherokee XJs in the past so no stranger to fixing things.

Anyway, just saying hey!

Welcome to the forum. Increase the security to stop it getting stolen. Is the chassis held together with rust?

Luminol · Jun 28, 2018

Hi,

No the chassis seems pretty good (it has some surface rust) and I have Thatcham 1 alarm/immobiliser, Steering lock and pedal lock and couple of other things on the go.

Thanks

Welcome aboard

Post some piccies up - we likes piccies

Security has to be your number 1

- there's a good thread on here about trackers, both homemade and some of the all in one subscription type too

Welcome to the forum and Land Rover 90 ownership!
Good to have people who know what you are going through when you are about to phone the scrap man because you are sick of the thing

Welcome. I find that, I never need to post, as pretty much everything you need to know within Yoda (the search box).

Welcome. As above. Anything you come across you can near enough guarantee someone has been there and fixed it and will help with guidance. This is a VERY useful forum with knowledgeable people whom go out there way to help others.

Enjoy the motor!

Thats great to hear thanks. Here are some PICs (sorry for delay, its been crazy recently)!

Im working through sorting things on it, previous owners have done some interesting wiring which needs to come out.
