Mad Hat Man - Mt. Hartman Bay is just at the south end of the island. Not too far from St. Georges. The whole island is beautiful though as I'm sure you know. Let me know next time you get to the island - would be great to get together for a Rum Punch and some Land Rover talk! Frog Hopper -...

Scooby22 - that first link looks a lot like the one from 110Technik. Interesting - thank you for the link! The Mad Hat Man - that is in front of my office in Secret Harbour, Mt. Hartman Bay. The Old Boathouse - not a bad spot.

No - the bonnet opens with a lever under the dash on the drivers side and a second release lever under the front edge of the bonnet - just under the 2nd 'E' in 'DEFENDER'. The grill is cracking up and falling apart. It looks like the previous owner has glued some of the slats back into place -...

Thanks - I was so happy to have the 110 back on the road I just had to take a picture and share. Work is work but a nice view makes it a little easier!

My Defender has been parked for a while waiting for a major service to the engine, transfer case and transmission. Finally got tired of seeing it just sitting and got her back on the road! Still needs some work, but it's running well and super happy to be driving it again!

I think it is actually burnt. I tested the solenoid and it works fine - but the motor itself failed. When I pulled it apart, it was full of corrosion and the brushes were gone. As a result, the commutator bar was badly worn. I was able to find a good used armature on island, but not a brush...

What a pain to get that starter out! They didn't make that an easy job!!!

You think it might have just worn out from moving around too much? Well I like that answer - hope you are right!

I have had my 2008 Defender 110 off the road for about a month waiting for parts to arrive so I can start the huge job of replacing gaskets and seals to stem the flow of fluids from my engine, transmission and transfer box. Yesterday I got tired of seeing my beautiful Landy just sitting there...

Ah - not likely to be the TO bearing then! Have you had any luck tracking it down?

Could it be coming from the clutch or T/O bearing?

Waiting on parts so I can get my Defender back on the road...

I will definitely do my best to keep it out of the ocean and off of the beach! Or at least give it a good fresh water wash down if it does go to the beach. There are some great beaches up at the north end of the island where the leatherback sea turtles come lay their eggs. I have been looking...

Well - they don't put salt on the roads in the winter here, but we are surrounded by salt water. I think that people just take good care of their vehicles. I think I am the third owner of my Defender and it has very little rust underneath.

That would be great! The more help the better. There is actually a healthy Land Rover Community here in Grenada also. Just that most of the vehicles are older series vehicles. Great to see them all out on the road though! I am looking forward to getting my Defender ready to go so I can join up...

Shipping is definitely an issue! I imagine that most of what I need would fit in a good sized rucksack!

It's the perfect island vehicle! I love it. Only problem is sourcing parts and such. Actually just getting ready to post another thread asking for help finding a few things...

Hi everyone. Just signed up to the forum so I could learn more about Land Rovers and maybe get some direction on a few Land Rover projects! I recently bought my first Land Rover, a 2008 Defender 110. Living in the Caribbean, there is a shortage of people who can work on the Puma Defenders. So I...
