Bought an old 1988 Defender 90 as a second fun car. Other car a Subaru WRX so thought the contrast in drives would be a bit of fun! Defender low milage but nothing eletrical seems to work well! Next to no lights working on dashboard, etc so likely to be looking for wisdom and advice shortly! And the oil leaks... somewhat scary!

Its not leaking just marking it's territory, and letting you know its still got oil in the sump.
mine seems to think that oil in the sump is underated and trys to get rid of it at all costsIts not leaking just marking it's territory, and letting you know its still got oil in the sump.

Despite not having all the stress of living with a Series or a 'Bender, all the additional stress of worrying if your VCU is gonna pack up, or the doors will actually come off when wet, or even someone being nice about a Freelander (irony), certainly makes Land Rover ownership stressful!
