Used it to protect and then rescue a gaylander from a roundabout after completely dying at the head of the traffic, towing it back to where it had just come from.
No, the doors hadn't fallen off, but it had just been washed lmao :D
 
Put the door handles back on the inside of the doors because although the door cards have to come off again, I'm fed up with people moaning they can't close the door!
 
purchased a rather fetching replacement front differential for it, well ok its not rather fetching its a second hand one but you get the idea.

Under it in the morning trying to rebuild.
 
All this lovely snow here, The Defender is in great shape but I'm not. Worst case of flu I have ever had. I feel so bad I couldn't even muster up the courage to go for a spin in the Defender and pass all the cars stuck in the snow. I'm sat in my bed looking out across the drive staring at my Defender in the snow.
