    Protecting a Defender 2011, 110 from the elements without a garage

    Look at the likes of Clarke temporary garages. You’ll probably need one of the bigger ones for a 110 with roofrack. It will keep the vehicle dry without trapping in moisture like a cover would. And I’d be flexible on the 2011 defender, especially given the issue’s identified with the one you’ve...

    Defender battery - what I fitted

    Fitted the same to my 90 earlier this year. Paid a bit more for it than I wanted to but the capacity and warranty was better than anything else.

    Got my eyes on this 110 XS for sale but concern with rust

    Lots of good advice already. The painted bits have been done to tart it up. For its age, I’d say there’s a lot of rust already, particularly for the high price. For that money, I’d expect a mint one with a galvanised chassis.

    Best way to sell ?

    Looks very tidy. Original vehicles command the best prices. Give it a good clean and polish and some plastic restorer on the headlight surrounds. Remove the K&N stickers from the front and clean the interior. When you sell, include the condition of the chassis and bulkhead as buyers will want...

    Advice needed.

    If you sell on eBay or social media, be prepared for time wasters. Selling through specialist publications and websites is the best way to go. Try practical classics and Land Rover magazines which should reach the desired target market. To sell on here, you really need 50 posts under forum...

    Sankey trailer spares

    You’ve used the avenues I was going to suggest. The only other worth trying is the ex military Land Rover association who might have details of suppliers or someone with sankey spares.

    Beyond noobie.

    Hi and welcome! You might need to be flexible on the mileage. Buy on condition and not necessarily mileage or age. You could get a low mileage uncared for example instead of a well looked after one with higher miles. The areas to look out for are the bulkhead and chassis. Both rust and are...

    Hi and welcome! Good move funding three landies from the sale of the RR! Good choice of BFG tyres. They cost more but will last longer.

    Tyre Change

    A new set of standard white steel wheels with 235/85 16 tyres would set it off nicely and fit straight on if you don’t want wolf wheels.
