Just looking at central locking/alarm options for my 90 for the upcoming purchase :) Has anyone used the Hawk kits that are on flea bay? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360639983699?epid=1329448454&hash=item53f7d17053:g:b3sAAOSw-89eHIWx I only want to install central locking on the 2 doors, not too...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184932766345?hash=item2b0eda1289:g:CJMAAOSwzOpg6HJk So I've finally taken the plunge and going to see this at the weekend and then hopefully securing her for August time when they seller is back from holiday and I am free, as weve agreed a price and the seller has...

Underneath looks in decent nick - I cant see any major issues or previous repairs. Has had a new rear on at some point though.

Agreed this one looks a whole different world, not had any paint cover ups etc. Not a fan of this rapto paint though!!

***Update*** Hope everyone is feeling okay after last nights result!! So the original 90 I was going to see the people are been difficult on price and not wanting to accept any offers until there ebay auctions runs out, in the meantime I maybe putting a deposit down on this 1997 90 300TDI...

Yeh looks like its had work done previously - especially looking at the MOT history!

Yes on cross members, doors and front bulkhead area, the old magnet trick. Where is the best place to check the vin/serial?

Going to see this next week

Ah yes - good point - only cars from 1991 are actual defenders? Others before are just 90s? Any major differences btw?

Well you leave it for 12 hours and suddenly theres a rush of defenders in my price range on ebay! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313594798865?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 - Going to get some more info about the engine swap here. No chassis pics though. Just thinking...

The 4" lift kit will be coming off - not a fan. Does that affect swapping the wheels to some sawtooth 16s?

That side exhaust would have to go!!!

Just spoke to him, his got a guy coming down tonight whos offered £5600! Mechanically looks good - just needs some paintwork, front bumper looks about 2 inch out at the right hand side on one of the pics. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174826990437?hash=item28b4802b65:g:pJ4AAOSwHbVg4f7h

Saw that one earlier - looks a decent one, mechanically sound - just needs a few tweaks. Will keep it on the radar :)

Defender 90 dont mind if 200/300 £10k Will obviously need some work with my budget but looking for a good chassis and engine. Dont mind on year if a late 80s/early 90s.

Hi guys, Currently still hunting for my 1st Defender, been trawling the usual ebay/AT/Gumtree. Im just checking if anyone has had any dealings with the following garages as they have a lot of defenders for sale and class themselves as defender specialists...

Ooops sorry which one and I’ll start a new thread
