    High miles 300 tdi

    Mines just shy of 200k and runs like a dream. I put cheap 10w40 in it every 3k miles, but generally change the oil when it changes from dark brown to black. Don’t worry about a puff of black smoke on start up either. The most engine work mine has had is cam belt kits. I’m sure I read on hear...

    What do I do with my Defender ?

    Why won’t it sell

    I don’t think it’s silly money for a nice newish defender with low mileage. I might even consider paying that, if your were a well known garage or dealer with a good rep, and of course I would have warranty etc. But to buy it of Joe Bloggs a few hundred miles away off eBay. I wouldn’t consider...

    Repaint and what to do with chequer plate

    I would disagree, I think body colour chequer plate makes it look like a shoddy repair job. I think you need a definite contrast i colours. Just depends if Matt black or natural suits your colour best. Just my opinion though.

    Spots won't turn off

    To be honest for the cost of a spot light relay and switch, I would replace like for like and check wiring ( good connections and no damage) particularly earth point.
