Well today I replaced the standard headlights for new ones that actually let you see where you are going in the dark

I also replaced the blown bulbs behind the clocks for ones that work

Day 2 of owning my first ever Defender and im loving it :D:D
 
Put me wading plug in and took her through some big pooodles. Been sat for a week odd so thaught would have quick blast about :rolleyes:
 
Erm I has.....


Supercharger, tubular headers, oil cooler, stroked crank, performance cam shaft, callipers, new knuckles, rad pipes, fuel pump, noisy gear drive timing gear and a roll cage for the series :eek:

Is that the dash itself or the instrument cluster/speedo/clock/fuel gauge/temp gauge.

Just fitted the gauges to mine and well worth it too.
 
Got new aux belts for my disco along with led interior bulbs now just need to fit them then I should be able to see inside and loose the squeek from the perishing beltsB-)
 
Today I used mine for what they were intended. Driving across muddy wet fields pulling a trailer collecting and delivering hay. Thought at one stag I was going to have to engage diff locks as it was very slippery on the wet grass.
 
Tried to put some adrenalin steering bars on fail!! Couldn't get the bastard track rod end out no matter how hard I feckin wacked it! So next thing was fitting a diff guard to my new diff pan, that was a bitch n had to wack that with my tappy hammer, went on then fookin bolts weren't long enough! Next was taking drivers seat out to fit a nice heated leccy one, bastard seat bolts took 2 feckin hours to get out I've now given it up as a bad job today!

Some days it's best to take a deep breathe, walk away...........and throw things at the dog
 
Tried to fit my spot lights, but as usual, never straight forward. The bolts that came with the spotlights are too big and don't fit through the holes in the roof bar... Just chang the bolt I hear you say! No chance, the bolt is welded to the bracket :mad: nightmare!
 
Not a lot as been to see the New Lego movie wea the boy.:D however got these in the post. Just need to find the copper washers and the upside down crazy weather to do one so i can fit them
