Hi all,

I have just gone and taken the plunge and bought my 1st defender 90 project!!

I have quite a bit of knowledge mechanically (civilian helicopter mechanical engineer by trade) but all my experiences are with VAG motors (avid T4 owner).

I'm sure you will all see me asking some questions soon enough, as I have a 300tdi from a disco that I want to fit onto my V8 defender (no engine fitted when I got the wagon!!)

Cheers all!

Welcome to LZ, Adam! :)

Mainly about 200Tdi, but they are pretty similar.

Welcome to the mad house, plenty of info on here about fitting your tdi into your tratter :D

Thanks Marmaduke!!

So far it seems to be going well, seems to have the r380 box so it's definitely a start!

However I will end up being a pest with too many questions im sure

On a side note, I have now got the joys of working out why my VIN starts SABTV ......

Ahhh not too far from me then (im in the helston area)
I would love to get a classic dub, it's definitely on my long list of wagons I want!!!
 
Thanks for the link David,

It appears at some point it's been dramatically changed and DVLA have given it a new VIN number.

I do know in it's history it's had both a new chassis and shell so that would explain it!

Thanks again for the link!!

Adam

Try ringing the DVLA helpline, or looking on their website.
