Duh only 12 pictures.:doh: How much evidence do you need, better yet what evidence have you got that I am wrong? I am continually amazed at the hand wringing displayed when someone comes on here and says their Defender has been pinched yet truly many on here are only too willing to go...

Your missing the point. The claim to have replaced things is the cover, the truth is everything has been replaced with someone elses stolen truck, not individually but in one fell swoop. The car is entirely a 300Tdi never anything else - whether its a 98 I cannot say, probably not and...

Nice post, are you always this pleasant? No thought not, genuinely feel sorry for those who know or even live near you. Truly the most cretinous reply on here for some time (look it up khaos - in a 'dictionary').

Like I said in the OP - nothing is 1985, everything is 300tdi spec. The part that makes me suspect the seller knows this is the claim to a new bulkhead.... must have been very lucky to find it painted in the same Riocha red the rest of the car was before it was treated to a quick disguise of...

You intrigue me fleck you seem very agitated yet also entirely unconcerned about the brazenly dodgy Defenders that are for sale. This is a forum - jeez if I had a quid for every stupid poster asking a frankly obvious question that has been answered a hundred times before and found again using...

As an aside 'economic repair' or rather beyond economic repair is where it costs more to maintain a car in a road worthy (MOT able) state than it is worth. Most Defenders when they require a new chassis fall into this category - not saying peeps do not do this but many are scrapped out and...

You are the kind of saddo that would be whingeing that some scrote had nicked your Landy. When they pop up on ebay like a gullible punter you spout the twaddle above. Take a look at the clues, they are all there ...... Oh sorry I forgot the chassis and VIN match. You were right as I...

Struggling with your english comprehension or just illiterate? "beyond economic repair" spot the key word you missed.

They just keep coming. You folks want to know where your pride and joys end when they are half inched? Well I reckon this one is hiding an interesting past...... LAND ROVER 90 DEFENDER 300TDI REAL MONSTER on eBay (end time 09-Apr-11 17:01:26 BST) Nothing but nothing about this 90 is a...

Still not clear where you are trying to fit them, they slot in the first gap on the inside edge of the outer door skin. Use some vaseline and a putty knife to flex the channel and if they have been made correctly they will fit OK. Do this in warm weather or with some general heat to the...

Was thinking the same - the pictures are shocking. Why when selling a £3k plus vehicle and particularly an old LR no big pics? Pics need retaking in the correct light that show detail and 12 of them. You have not got a snowball in hell of getting what you want for the truck off that listing.

Come again?

It looked great when it was done, small roller with care - but matt bleaches badly and goes yellowy. I am told satin stays the same colour for ever. First photo with the roof tent was taken not long after car was painted - nice dark green - not any more and its been only three years since.

Done it all - everything - oily bits, body bits internal bits and still love it ta bits!! Oddly the wheels were a bit of a rush job - new rims all luvverly and silver slightly used 235 MT's put on and then out with the rattle can. Should have keyed the new wheels as the matt black paint...

Never even got use it once before I sold the damn tent - the conversation went along the lines...'if you think I'm climbing that to sleep in there... you have another....' However the rack and its cut down sides all worked well and still looks good - kind of Tomb Raider ish .......

Hmm not sure I see the problem - looksy...........................

You are not alone with this - most people that have fitted a snorkel and then comment about mpg reckon it is worse. That leaves folk that simply do not comment or watch their mpg that closely but it does suggest they are not good for economy. I doubt it has anything to do with aerodynamics -...

Some how a Defender needs a Snorkel to complete the look. Not that this includes the 'stove' pipe look which does look a bit home made badly. As an aside when did Snorkel change the look of their product - the smooth finish version that must be a good 150mm taller than their original and...

No photo on this PC but I have done this mod..... you are right to ask where to drill 200tdi as they very thin walled. Drill on the radius of the front end - where the inlet is as this is thick and tappable if you drill on the side body the wall is only 3mm thick and in alloy thats thin.
