No one else use there defenders then I collected some parts today ready for Monday as I am off for a week and can get a few jobs then :)
 
Mines in the body shop having its new rear Cross Member fitted, so I haven't used mine for a week now :( hopefully I'll have it back for next week.
 
Took a grandfather clock to the repair shop for my mum, it wouldn't fit in her car. 109 suspension isn't great so I had to go sooo slow over bumps so I didn't break it any more. Got a flat tyre on the way home but apart from that it was alright.
 
Filled the sankey up with rubbish and did a tip run today. Normally the defender is my daily driver (without the trailer). It was a nice sunny drive.
 
used it to pick up some more of these to make them into this

Took the kids to a rugby tournament, on leaving got wedged under the carpark height bar which is placed at the top of a steep slope which means the front of the LWB goes under fine but due to the angle the back does not, had to back out and off road it around the stupid thing... anyway its a land rover so no harm done.

Did a couple of tip runs today with my trailer, the first proper run out since replacing the timing belt a few days ago as I needed to sort the rear propshaft out before I put it back on the road and all seams ok :D
 
Here is a pic of my fender with trailer before we loaded it up but I forgot to take one of the trailer loaded up :(

I used mine as a cafe at lunch time after lying under it for a couple of hours and then as shelter later in the afternoon for until the rain had gone.
 
Mine gets used for everything, commute to work, shopping, tip runs (I like putting the whole wheelie bin in the back!) and last weekend a bit of building materials

That was 30 bags of sand on that day :)
 
Well, it was going to be a boring drove it to work day, but on my way home up the chevin came accross a car blocking the road, just on a blind bend, hill crest, so I pulls up to see what the crack is.
I'm met by an elderly couple, whos clutch has cooked, AA on the way, but only just happened, so might be a while.
Car park just up the road, so I offer to give them a tug up the road to somewhere a bit safer, guy couldnt get it out of gear, so bit of brute force needed to get it out of ger so I can tow it.
Up to the car park, break out the camp stove and make a brew for em while they wait, I left 30 mins later needed to get the middle one to beavers. Just been back on the way to pick him up and theyre gone :)
