I have to admit, the colour is what attracted me to it in the first place, the engine and the chassis is what sold it to me :p

What is it with Landy's in Sussex, that is where I just got mine from too! 430mile trip back to West Lakes,was definitely worth the drive though, hope yours is too :) I know you'll kill me for saying it, but Nene Overland back down South are renowned for their Waxoyl skills :D

So true :D Welcome to the forum :)

An Austin Champ, wow! Would love to see some pics of that! Welcome to the forum, i'm new here too!

Nice rustic old pub at the end of the valley, Wasdale Head Pub, good for dogs and moody boots etc. They have open fires etc. Also Strands Inn in Nether Wasdale is really good too, they are equipped with their own ales from their own micro-brewery. Can't go wrong with either of them :)

Not sure if I should add my details to the map? Location: Wasdale, West Lake District Recovery: Basic towrope, can probably handle up to 5ton (more if combined with your own towrope, chain etc.) Alternatively, during winter (gets rough up here!) if situation is too serious, can collect you...

presume that's including transfer box and diffs etc?

Well make sure you get up Great Gable, easily one of the best hikes in the Lakes, with one of the best views! Far more interesting that the overhyped and overbusy Scafell Pike :) I'm frequently up there on my litter picking sessions for the National Trust :D

I thought the same, timing belt seemed fine, wasn't sure on the clutch. Oil did seem steep, I actually had to get the guy to repeat himself on that bit :p

Thanks! I contacted Fultons in Workington, they couldn't even weld me any panels on bottom of the doors, also prices seemed a tad steep £250 for new timing belt and fitting £450 for new clutch and fitting £350-400 for all round oils and filters (that price better be including the diff etc...

Have you never been? Make sure you make it the West Lakes :) (The real Lakes!) :D

It's only on a trailer so he can achieve that classic 'broken Landy' look :D

I'm new here too :) That Disco looks in really good nick, how does she sound? :mil10:

By being 10 shades lighter ;)

Thanks! It is indeed the Heritage landy colour :)

Go on, what's wrong with my wheels? Not enough mud? :p

From my understanding, it was the doors, and then they cut clean through the wiring loom to disable the alarms (unsuccessfully). A real shame, pretty much agree with discomania. I see the Wasdale MRT out all the time in their Defenders up here, and it isn't just emergency call-outs, the MRT...

We'll have to see about that :p

Oh dear, what have I gone at got myself into now ;) Thanks all, think i'm going to have fun here :D

Hi everybody! I'm Megan (or just Mog as most people call me :D), I'm from the Beautiful Lake District, living in the middle of nowhere, although i'm originally from the Peak District area. After a year of trying to search for a good Defender, along with the steadily increasing prices and...
