Hello all, wonder if anyone can advise, my local Land Rover specialist just carried out an inspection of my newly purchased 1998/300tdi 110 - I'm new to Defenders, so wondering which of the following I should prioritise, and which, if any, sound any alarms.....be great to get some perspective from experienced owners. Any guesstimates on costs would be good, too.
Some of them are obvious, but I put them down for completeness anyway. Many thanks in advance!
1. Colour of the vehicle has been changed
2. Has got recon engine
3. Rear wash wipe not working
4. Hazard switch not illuminating
5. LH side repeater not working
6. LHF Out Rigger needs welding
7. Rear cross member needs welding
8. LHR Front bush on trailing arm got play
9. Rear exhaust trail pipe corroded badly
10. T/box got slight oil leak
11. Engine got slight oil leak
12. Rear diff pinion oil seal leaking oil
13. LHF & RHF wheel bearings got play (May just need adjusting)
14. LH and RH swivel leaking and got slight pits on swivel ball ( may just be able to change the seals, until we start the job and have a good look at the swivel balls)
15. LHR hub cap leaking oil (just needs a replacement rubber cap)
16. Rear brake pads worn 70%
17. Fan switch faulty
18. No fast speed on the wipers
19. Battery insecure
20. Rear door dragging (may need door adjustment or the hinge pins and balls may need replacing, not expensive)
21. Drive belt got cracks ( needs new belt)
22. Clutch fluid was low( may just need topping up or possible a leak, would have to keep a check on this)
23. Driver door u/s ( steel section missing from door, may be able to repair)
24. Misfire when cold
