Welcome, Cracked block drops the price but you can swap it for a 300tdi anyway as the 2.5 N/A is a bit pedestrian. No V5 could be an issue so worth checking with DVLA. If its last MOT was a long time ago then again another price drop. I'd go for a cheeky £1k offer.

Great anti theft device

Mmmmm......Unimog....cant really justify the price they fetch but would love one. Been looking at Fergies and DB's as stated they are cheap and good for the job and dead easy to fix.

I've already got a 110 and a 109 so trying to cut down on any more vehicles. I can use an ATV harrow and roller on the tow hitch. Topper will have to be powered and they are pricier than non powered. Could get a compact tractor for maybe £1500-2000 but then still need implements on top and will...

Hello all, I have rather expensively got two horses in a yard and filed of approx 5 acres with a slope and at the moment its a mud bath. The field will need harrowing, topping and rolling. Has anyone used their defender or series for doing these jobs and any advice? Ta.

Got normal one on my fender auto and works fine.....auto not that quick though

Get a 2.25 petrol instead....much quieter. ducks for cover.

Registered jan 1971....which looks right other than the grill....best bit is that mot expired in 2013!!!!

Well someone has gone one better and made their 1956 series 1 look exactly like a series 3!!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1956-land-rover-series-swb-unfinished-project/323494003756?hash=item4b51bec42c:g:P-4AAOSw1CBbvxRV

Basically yes, but for the passenger side wing you'll need a hole for the S3 heater still. When i changed my S2a from a S3 front i changed the centre panel and the wing fronts only by drilling out the rivets and putting in S2a fronts.

Yep, defo on my series 2 and 3

Thanks for the recommendations. Parabolic will look a bit strange on Hicap and i've heard that they raise the rear body very high. John S....yeah, not gonna be much fun but luckily on my hicap I've got the rear body off so lots of easy access to swing hammers and breaker bars.

Hello, My S3 109" Hicap needs some new rear springs. I dont want parabolic so who makes the best standard leaf springs for series LR's? Ta

morning all, The auto cable in my defender has snapped near the shifter. the box and engine are from a D1 hence why disco forum. Does anyone know how to get the gearbox end off for the cable? ta

Erm....with a spanner. Seriously though....if its the one at the front of the block, remove cables then remove valve. bit of coolant will come out when you do it.

We've all seen it.....new acquisitions with bodged up fixes and 'field' repairs. Now of course we would never do any of these but whats the worse you've seen. Mine was on a S3 Hicap i bought last year.....brakes were dodgy as hell....took apart rear drums and there were no adjusters fitted for...

i'm no expert but fan cowling says intercooler, fip looks like 200tdi as does high up turbo.

Looks like a 200 tdi....depending on chassis 4-5k ish.....clean it up, empty it out, put some alloys on and wrap a rope around front bumper and get another 1k

Sorted. Managed to get 14mm connection from pump to box off and disconnected at reservoir end. ta.

Was hoping to do today and i live in cumbria so doubt anyone sells a 5/8 pipe spanner on a saturday. worse case i'll cut the pipes and replace but again would rather do today.
