Yeah was waiting for payday to get a welded pedal lock. Taken right from my drive :( No real unique features - it was totally standard car Pics below

As above - Stolen from Maidstone area - kent any info - please help

Me too - I was looking at doing this as my first 'foreign' expedition after doing some UK ones this year.

So, for the first time ever my renewal quote has been cheaper than shopping around. Normal procedure is that i get a renewal (from whoever i am with) and then the first place i call (either Sky insurance or Flux) can always beat it like for like. So i alternate insurance between the years with...

If i can latch on to this thread (if OP doesn't mind!) as i have a few radio questions. Is there something better than CB (and by better i mean longer range) that one can use. What do the military use? Surely they cant be CB radios (can you tell the level of ignorance here!) Is that sort of...

Yes - sadly all my money has been spend on boring mechanicals! Latest splurge - door hinges & fitting

haha! i have wanted to do that sometimes - these plebs who dont give a thought to anyone else....almost worth installing a light bar just for that!!

haha that is brilliant! I now feel much better informed on the appropriate 'properness' of the wave!

i have neither. The issue is square - the rest of the whole dam car is square lets face it - nice look Round - all the actual lights are round. Which part of your OCD will hurt the least?

Ok, So i have had the defender a few months (i think!) and even on the first day of ownership i got 'the wave'. I hope you know what I'm talking about - whenever another defender is out i get a wave, and of course I wave back! I used to get this with the honda del sol - but they are a rare car...

That is crazy money!! Anyone what to start importing them!!!

Hi Tom, and welcome! I too am well out of my comfort zone here. Like yourself i am a Jap man, having built this bad boy from a bit of a wreck! I have just picked up a 300TDI Defender which is great fun - sometimes i feel i should have got a discovery as half my milage is on the motorway...

Id be happy to teach you! But not a bad effort! - Shame you are so far away!

Im with Adrian Flux, haven't had a renewal yet as its a new car to me so a policy swap, but they let me know it was about £280, which i was really pleased with. Its up soon so ill give them a call along with SKy insurance. I gather NFU give you good deals also on land rovers so ill test them too.

Thanks for the info - Its off to get the door hinges fitted on monday! I cant imagine the wheels, being made by Land Rover, Not being capable for use on a 110 - or 130 for that matter - makes less than no sense! However i will look into it :) Turns out the rear wiper isnt buggered - but the new...

Bugger! - needed these two weeks ago! Good luck with the sale :)

Great job! looks awesome :)

thanks there Shaun - yeah i like it - lots of little bits to do but i will make my way through them :)

flux or sky insurance - all give good deals - you must expect to pay a fortune sadly :( but on a defender i think it will be better than many other cars :)

Could be interested in this - would be nice to meet up with people and go green laning :)
