Hi,
To introduce myself, I've actually been registered for the site since 2008 but this in my first post! In the past I've owned two landrovers, during my time in Shetland in the 1980's. First one was a rusty LWD S2a bought for £400 and sold two years later for same. I now run a S3 SWB, rigged up as a safari style (but not originally spec'd as one) I live in sunny Kinross
and use it at the weekends for chugging around, logging, towing a horse box and general towing trailers on and offroad. My landy is originally marine blue, now a rather dull masai red. I aspire to re-spray in bronze green. It lives outside and has had a lot of work over the 10 years I've owned it. Started life as diesel but I changed to 2 1/4 recon petrol engine 7 yrs ago. My approach is to keep it completely original, no carlos fandango accessories. This years projects are replacement drivers door, new channel strip, fit gaiters to front hubs. I have a full canvass tilt with sticks and might swop for the summer, plus general chassis TLC for autumn MOT. I note u have manuals that can be downloaded. I have a complete w'shop manual, parts catalogue/ diagrams, accessories list/ diagrams, Britpart parts / diagrams all in pdf, so happy to help with obscure parts nos etc. I believe series landys are the definitive 4x4 and Landy, and in today's world very sustainable as selectable 2/4WD, iconic design and built to last, not a big fan of post series landy's, but kinda sad to see Defenders end.
