Hi All,

It's been a good few years since I packed up my old hobby of track day driving, so I decided to replace the need with an off-roading hobby.

I did plenty of research on here with regards to different types of Land Rovers, and even other makes, and decided on a Defender 300TDI. A 200 TDI would have done fine, but this came up for a good price so I grabbed it.

I need to get the Hardtop through it's MOT first, then I intend to smarten her up a bit.

Here are some pics:

Any advice for a newbie ? I'm thinking first purchases should be a haynes manual and a suitable jack.

Cheers
Sean

I got mine of yan the landy man, I think I paid a bit more than I wanted to but it's been rock solid. Apart from him making a tit of the V5 which I had to sort out myself

Buy the Haynes manual, then throw it out the window at the nearest bin....

Get hold of the RAVE Workshop Manuals instead....
