Cheers, I can stop flapping now and get to work to earn some money towards all the extras I want for it :)

Just had an email off the service manager at Land Rover they said the parts are cast and with all the damp we've had this is normal? What does cast mean? Nice wheels by the way :)

And some more!

Another bit

Will try get some better pictures today.

Not sure what the parts are called yet - feel like I'm learning a new language! :)

My paperwork says alloys too, I'll regret that when I bash them on stuff! Gorgeous dog by the way :) The XS comes with the heaters, heated windows and stuff but the stereo and speakers are definitely going as soon as I've got the money. Think they left quite a few other bits unpainted :( is...

I got the XS and upgraded the alloys, am now skint! so the only other thing I've got so far is two front rubber floor mats :) loads of stuff I want to add to it but I need to do my homework first and save some money to do it.

Thanks guys :)

Gutted I bought a new one thinking I wouldn't have to worry about anything for a few years which would give me time to learn what the score is!

Is that normal for a brand new defender from a land rover dealer?

Thanks guys. It is indeed a 2.2. The chap who sold me the car is great and I would highly recommend him, he did ring me back but it's been a phone tennis day so I'll email him the pics and see what they say. On the plus side I now know where the common rail is so at least I have learned...

Hi Guys Sorry if this is a really stupid question in advance! I bought a new Defender 90 xs about 4 weeks ago and decided today was the day to have a look at the engine and educate myself - or try. I noticed some rust on the common rail and some other places near that (sorry not clued up...

Cheers I shall have a look at that :)

Thanks guys can you recommend any good websites to get this stuff from?

I might get a Rottweiler and let it sleep in the back ;)

Thanks, I shall look into that right now. :tea:

Thanks I'll have a look. I know you can get a tracker but that's only useful if the person that nicks it doesn't find it and take it off!

Is there anything I can do to make it less nickable? I have a lot to learn so any advice would be much appreciated

Thanks, makes me smile every time I drive it.
