looking for something around 2006 or maybe a little newer. Must be a good example ;) Fast cash waiting for right one

Just spotted a 2006 with 100k fsh etc. Just asked him about belts and oil cover :) Seems good on paper but we'll see..... Towards Barnstaple is a long way to go for me so will be asking lots of questions :)

I'm considering buying one now so very handy post :) How much is it to have the oil pump casing replaced?

By accident and trying to figure out how to delete it..... can't see how though?

so, I need a bigger vehicle to tow a trailer and was going to go for a Navara or pathfinder but then thought what about disco 3...... Insurance is ok at £550 as my no claims are used on my other car but how much is road tax? I'm assuming high at around £530? What are real world mpg for these...

There you go Tim, having only driven it on a short test drive as you know I was a little worried reading your post but feel a lot better now reading the replies. Never knew about cleaning fuses but you live and learn. Having done only 64 miles in the last year a good leg stretch for it I guess...

Not flashing fast, it's very slow.... Was ok earlier when he tested it but just as he was about to leave it started flashing only once very few seconds.... Maybe 1/4 of the speed it should be

Tim has just left with it but as he was about to leave the indicators stopped flashing as fast as they did on the test drive. They now flash once every 4-5 seconds.... Would this be the relay? If yes, is it located under dash behind fuses? Also noticed the reverse light stopped working but...

In reply to the not standard, yes it is, I have the plate detailing the engine showing it is original.

My issue is almost all road with only the odd off road.... To buy a defender with same comfort level for daily road use it would cost a lot more than I have.... Don't get me wrong, on the tiny bit of off road I did when testing this it was soooooo smooth and felt like it could take on the world...

Yes, lucky for him he contacted me today as I put posts out this morning and got a lot of interest but now holding it for him so he can come and look at it. If he has it I think we both owe you a pint, from me for making sure it goes to a deserving person and from him for finding a bargain...

Looks like it's now sold but as I was walking around it while he was on phone talking about everything I was instantly falling in love with it again :) But with 90-95% being road use I have to be realistic as frustrating as that is as the little bit I did off road it suddenly become soooooo...

Yes, I sent him a message earlier

In all fairness I was warned they are very different, and it's not that I didn't listen, I just didn't realise how soft I have become. Also, when checking it over with a fine tooth comb I was so happy with it I got carried away. All was good until earlier when I went out in my BMW and used its...

Where there's blame, there's a claim ;) ..... Only joking :)

The whole reason I'm buying is to get my paraglider up the mountains and so went for the best 4x4 I could think of being the defender.... The reality is any decent 4 wheel drive would be good enough for the gradient and surface type I need to cover.

I fully expect a ribbing for this :( I miss my power etc. as well.... I'd have one of these, when I can afford £50,000 for an all singing all dancing one :) I was so focuses on needing a 4 wheel drive I became blinkered

I still need a 4x4 and I've owned Nissan Navara in the past so will be looking for either one of those or a Toyota hilux.... I'm so kicking myself but life is about experiences and this will sound really silly but it's the Landy I feel sorry for as it is a great one... Just not for me as my...

I got carried away as the chassis is sooooo solid, the paperwork, you couldn't ask for more on, it just ticked all the boxes for an old Land Rover defender..... I've now realised I need to go back to a Nissan Navara which I've had in the past as comfort with 4 wheel drive....
