Iv just bought a 187 defender after driving a disco 300 for last year hoping to have it on the road by Xmas got a bit of work before mot hoping to have more fun than last year in the white stuff lol .
Ive welded my winch bumper on... and then tack welded the bolts holding the winch to the bumper... if anyone can get it off then well done theyre welcome to it!
wouldnt worry about your snorkel i park mine in sheffield 4-6 nights a week and never had any trouble.
