Where to even start....:( I never knew Marc, but he sounds like the sort of fella I'd have got along famously with. Cannot even begin to comprehend the emotions you as a family must be feeling, but my thoughts are with you all. Sleep tight Marc, but carry on jammin' my friend.

Guy I used to know had the V6 variant - nothing but problems with it from day one. Hateful cars.

Probably the worst car full stop....

That's the problem in a lot of cases....

My Defender plodded along the country lanes quite nicely at 7am. It was amusing seeing drivers of 'zee German' RWD varieties going all over the place.

In the garage at home they were (in Yoda voice)

Glad you're sorted Ed, sorry I could help mate :(

First question mate is do you know your way around Defenders, and really know what to look for ? £12k is a good budget, but you can easily buy a pup if you don't know what you're doing.

You know I am, you've already got your ticket....haven't you ? :p

3/4 - I'm out boys, sorry....

Ah, a farm jack ! Know what you mean now ! Got one in the back of my Defender, 48' lift one but freely admit it has yet to be used.

The jack ! Not sure I've seen one before

I'm curious - pics of aforementioned article please !

Standing state of affairs in our house - she's got the raving arse with me as I type. She was supposed to be going out with her mate today, arranged weeks back so I said I'd spend a day messing about with cars at home on my own. Her mate blows out Wednesday - not my problem, I'm doing what I'm...

Welcome fella :) get some pictures up, we like pictures :D

Do a search mate, please....oil has been covered more times on here than anything else. All you need to know is at your fingertips, search the forum.

Yes ! I have it loaded onto my computer (and it's good!) but getting it onto YouTube ? Struggling....:mad:

Pulled the cover back on properly a couple of times as the wind lifted it. That's it....

Can hose both down....and safer in the back as opposed to on it....

There is that....just hope it hasn't mate or it's a 'box out job....
