Isnt it slightly pointless putting the isolator switch next to the battery as the thieves could just bypass it? If it were concealed somewhere, it may take a bit more time to bypass? Apologies if im being thick. Also, have you got more info into why the alternator is the battery drain problem? I...

Im thinking of fitting an isolator switch to my landy as i think there is a small drain on the battery (or the battery is on its way out) and also because i thought it may slow thieves down.. So i obviously dont want to put the isolator switch in some really obvious place, although i was...

That was the other reason that i was thinking of doing it as craddocks are selling them fairly cheap at the mo.. the N/S doesnt worry me, just think the the O/S may take a bit of time..

I will get some pics tomorro, dark outside now and its covered in snow.. The O/S one is in good shape, just with this patch above the arch, which looks tidy although the pop rivets show where it is and they havnt been put in tidily. I was thinking about drilling them out and replacing with solid...

Was it the N/S or the O/S? As ive been told that the diesel link pipe between the top of the tank and the wing can be a messy and annoying job?

I will get some pics together so you guys can get an idea of what its like. Took the front bumper off this morn to find some rot on it so going to get a new one (Old man is going to knock one up)

Hi guys, as some of you know, im getting my 90 resprayed over the festive break.. The O/S rear panel has a patch on it which looks a little gash, so i have chance of a new rear wing.. I was just wondering roughly how long it would take to do as im a little time limited (gotta prep and paint...

Well, its a bit addictive, tinkering with it and wanting to improve it.. I nearly got it stuck in a seriously boggy field the other night.. could have been embarrassing!

pics of landy to come! probs do some before and after pics.. watch this space!

That could help possibly.. Jimbot.. How many of my finest notes and what condition is it in?

Where abouts are you? If its the right price then it may be worth the trip, otherwise i will hang on for one nearer.. As east mids airport is about 140 miles from me..

Cant see any links which show the process.. Im guessing then that its not just a matter of snipping the old one and connecting the new one?

Arite guys, Ended up getting a 200Tdi 1992 truckcab, its a solid, sound vehicle, or seems to be at the moment, just looks a bit tatty with odd bits of corrosion around the panels. A mate is going to respray it over Christmas and im looking to get some new decals for it. Just the defender 90...

Yeah, that one looked good.. Shame i missed it.. emailed about the truck cab on an F plate in nottinghamshire..

5k.. ish.. depending on what it is!

rocking horse s**t!! Im losing the will to live.. just spent last 4hrs trawling through the net.. nothing really in my bracket.. guess its always a bit of a compromise when you have a budget..

My main concern was corrosion, so my thoughts were to go for something newer if possible, as it has had less time to rot.. most modern engines are good to the moon and back, so assumed (yeah, i know assumptions are the mother of all f**k ups!!) that the engines are lower on the list of worries..

Well, havent bought it yet, was trying to work out if it was a good buy or not.. been looking for one for the last 4-5 months and to be honest, you dont seem to get a lot of bang for your buck.. im looking for a 300tdi van or pickup SWB... and for a budget of about 5500 or max 6000.. Im not...

hehe yeah, i was referring to the chequerplate (or however you spell it!) I did notice a small rust hole in the chassis, in the driver side rear wheelwell.. otherwise its sound.. and fairly clean. If I said it was £4000 as described in previous posts, what would your thought be? its got...

Good tip about people opening car doors onto your car! hehe.. I will settle for keeping the same doors for the time being, i guess theres no point in throwing money at it unnecessarily.. What ive noticed while looking for a defender is that someone spends a fortune on doing one up and then...
