Aaaannnnyyyy body?

Dont bother with any inside the M25. Go where the majority of land rovers are (the country side)

Scotch I hope?

Google the defender water ingress manual and that will give you ideas of where to look. Don't be tempted to seal down the floor panels with silicone or anything silly like that. Water will be coming from above and all you'll do is stop the water being able to get out

What did you do in the end? I don't know where in Aberdeenshire you are but I live in the city, you're more than welcome to come have a look at mine I can talk you through all the bits to check etc. Or if you need a hand with the maintenance, happy to help.

Totally agree. I wouldn't buy a land rover off anyone other than an enthusiast. They're the only people that put in the time and they effort. Problem is they rarely sell.

To have failed that quickly and that much suggests either the spring has come off the seal or, as said, the surface is ****ed. Maybe try a better seal... I wouldn't trust bear mach with such things

Can't Fault National luna... apart from their weird name

Changed rear mud guards. Pain in the ass of a job

Nice spot!

There's no doubt there's at least a 5K premium added that's assuming everything else is perfect. I also strongly suspect that isn't a 'nut and bolt' rebuild as they claim. I would ask for photos of the rebuild. That's not to say it isn't a nice example. I know they say 1 owner but it's not...

https://www.ukcustomlandrovers.co.uk/cars/landrover/defender90/station/538432/ This one right? You need to get a feel for what they mean by nut and bolt rebuild? Galv chassis = good. Respray = meh. new seats and trim = meh. If that had a recently rebuilt engine, rebuilt transmission then...

Have you got a link to the vehicle? People who put up barriers like that are a red flag in my book

Sold to someone who likes **** watches

@adrian hogg as already said save time and just get them from ashcroft. They're excellent and any issues they'll send new ones out no qiuestions asked

Good shout. I've ordered one so will report back

Are you going to build any storage into the back?

Has anyone used one of the..ahem... cheap one from china on Ebay for £30? Fire hazard?

They look nice - very expensive tho

the frame rotting out is what kills doors, the skin separating can generally be fixed. got photos?
