I changed a cv joint on mine a couple weeks ago. Stripped back to axle and never saw anything like them. That was on a 91 200tdi.

I don't own a defender but seeing your avatar reminds me that I still want to try Cornish rattler but Tesco never had any on Saturday.:(

:D Sorry bout that. Didn't know about the paper clip next to smiley face for putting on pics so had a go. This pic was taken on Salisbury plain though:)

Chop the sills out and weld in some box section. And welcome:)

I like it. :o

Problem areas for rust on an old D1? Everywhere :D

If I were selling and was happy to settle around the grand mark id be asking 1200. He says its a mate selling too.

Mine is a j reg. I paid 900 for it.Very very little rust. One owner from new, full service history and it turned 86000 miles as I drove it home. It was taxed and mot'd as well. 1700 sounds a little steep to me.

:)You gotta be jokin mate. After bein out in the **** weather all day long last thing I want is to be rollin round under the disco. Tomo is the day when I find out wot the problem is. Fetched me new gearbox today.:D Another job I could do without.

Nope. I leave home at 6am and get home at 6.30pm all week so don't have time in the week.

I cant make it bud. My disco will be in little pieces. :mad:

Im looking forward to following this thread. Good luck mate and keep the pics coming. :)

It was a little while ago I went there and it was open sundays only because they shoot on the land Saturdays. Parts of it were cordoned off because of the bad weather and it was 15 quid a day because of that. Not sure if they have a website thingy.

Bush farm is probably 15-20 mins from me. Never been round the off road course but did go out and have a chat with the owner who advised not going on my own with no winch as id probably end up stuck.:) Wouldn't mind a trip there sometime with company to help each other out of the ****.

Yep, over the bridge in Plymouth.

Me too mate . :)

Not sure yet but got no drive to the front wheels. Either diff or cv joint I think. Prob not diff cos there was no bang and no crunching grinding noises. Wont be able to look until weekend.

I wont be going anywhere soon until ive found out wot the problem is with mine and fixed it.

Did you find a back box Dave? Why not take the exhaust out the side out of harms way? Did ur car pass MOT?
