Hello all,
A few months ago I bought a defender in the UK and imported it to the Netherlands. In the mean time I have done some maintenance to it and have been offroad in it a few times.
I've also got a 2004 Lotus Elise 111R and that stayed it the garage most of the time this summer....
Here is a picture of my car. Its a 1986 90 that originaly had a 19J (turbo diesel) engine. In its life it was changed over to an 11L 200 Tdi.
I have added some proper folding down seats in the back so it looks like a factory county but it started life as a hardtop model.
It its live someone sprayed it metallic silver and I think it looks quite good in this colour.
The black boost wheels were added by me, the brunel silver front aswell.
Some things on the to do list are;
- adjust the bias plate so the gearlever is in front of 3rd gear when in neutral.
- change the steeringbox, this one leaks a bit
- purge the injectors, no problems, just maintenance
- at one time i might change the axels as they have quite a bit of play in the differentials
- I also want to get the wheel arches painted to match the colour of the car
- do some work to the bulkhead as it shows some rust. Might even change it out for a different one.

Fresh from the boat, but in the netherlands. A friend of mine bought the white 110
