    Having a new chassis on my 90 - and what else......?

    Engine and gearbox mounts, timing belt if it’s a 300Tdi, check the steering box for wear and leaks.

    Roof rack Defender 90

    I got mine on eBay. There are quite a few. Just a case of finding one close enough unless you use a courier to collect it. What type are you after? Aluminium, steel, flat or box section?

    Insurance

    Having it garaged and extra security measures help. But as mentioned, age, driving history and location are big factors in what you will pay. Declare all modifications as insurers will use any excuse not to pay out if you claim.

    As the saying goes, if it don’t look right, move it at night!😉

    Which driving/spotlights?

    ORE 4x4 lights are nice but then again, they’re not cheap.

    Reluctant swap? Wolf Defender 110 for 90

    Nice Landy! The conversion looks like a nice bit of work too. My wife refused to have a 110 when I got my 90 ten years ago, saying it was too big. But she’s only driven my 90 a few times since then!

    Landy security....attempted break in

    There have been quite a few thefts in Hampshire recently, mostly around the eastern parts towards Sussex and Surrey. I’ve got family near Winchester so visit with my 90 too. A good start is a disklok. Very visible and another layer of security with a clutch claw.

    Value me this 110

    Looks like there’s a soon to be ex-mountain rescue 110 utility station wagon coming up for sale elsewhere in this section… 🤔😁

    Value?

    Id definitely stick with the defender! 😁

    Value?

    Hi and welcome! Nice looking Landy! From seeing a couple of similar vehicles sell on eBay in recent months, they’re popular and look to command good money. It’s difficult to put a price on it. A good starting point would be to see what similar vehicles go for in terms of model and spec, taking...

    Defender 110 Stolen - Surrey

    Sorry to hear this. There’s a definite pattern around Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex. I hope it’s found safely and those responsible are caught.

    Pig

    The guy who repaired it said to tighten it very slightly first, which should break the corrosion instead of trying to release it first.

    New to Landy zone & recently purchased 1996 Defender 110 300 TDI

    Hi and welcome! Don’t forget two things; Firstly, lots of security measures for it as they’re popular with thieves, and Secondly, we like pics of landies!

    Disco 2 grill vs facelift grill

    When I got one for my 300Tdi, it was sold as a Sahara grille, designed for better cooling over standard. But now it looks to have been renamed as a Saudi grille.

    Disco 2 grill vs facelift grill

    I’ve checked and it’s actually a Sahara grille, as per the link… (rival forum but I’m sure that’s not a problem!) https://landroverforums.com/forum/discovery-ii-18/mesh-saudi-grill-better-cooling-80880/ And looking at the link and others online, it is available for a disco 2, albeit...

    Overland camper based on a Landy

    Personally no, but worth a suggestion.
