    Buying a Puma / Roof Respray Cost?

    Did you post on FB a few days ago with the same? It looks familiar .😁 It looks much better with the white roof in my opinion. White steel wheels will look much better than alloys too. Personally, I’m not a fan of alloys on a defender.

    110 Second Row Crossmember Replacement

    I’m sure it can be done but it’s more for ease of access to welding. Just realised it’s the second row crossmember, not the rear one!🙄😂

    Strata Florida

    I’ve just watched the entire video instead of the housework I should be doing!😁. The group that were laning together looked well prepared but I’d say the weather with those swollen river crossings were still too dangerous. As for the two in those buggy things, they were lucky it wasn’t a...

    Strata Florida

    I’d like to do Strata Florida but this is one of the reasons I haven’t. I’m amazed by the number of posts on social media of people who either go there alone and get stuck or flood their vehicles on a river crossing or groups who drive off-piste.

    What tools do you keep under your passenger seat?

    Definitely. The standard jack is useless.

    National Windscreens is hopeless

    They replaced the windscreen on my old disco 2 in around 2013. It had a heated windscreen, which showed on the spec when I called them and was confirmed as a straight replacement. The guy turned up with a non heated screen, saying they didn’t have a heated one in stock and did I mind a non...

    Door latch fitting

    Is the body out of alignment? The rear body on my old series 3 looked straight until I fitted a hardtop which showed it wasn’t quite straight and the rear safari door, fitted with the hardtop wouldn’t shut properly. A farm jack soon put it straight again.

    What tools do you keep under your passenger seat?

    No tools kept under my passenger seat, the large battery takes most of the space. I keep a box of assorted tools in the back.

    What have you done on your 90/110/130 today?

    Centre exhaust mount has broken. The 90 started making quite a notice on the journey home from work at 2330 last night.🙄

    Roof rack Defender 90

    Probably best to keep an eye on eBay and FB marketplace if you’re not in a hurry. Try looking under roof tents too, as some sell the roof rack with tents attached, which you can remove and sell or keep as you wish. And you do know that when you buy a new one, a used one for a good price will...

    Having a new chassis on my 90 - and what else......?

    Engine and gearbox mounts, timing belt if it’s a 300Tdi, check the steering box for wear and leaks.

    Roof rack Defender 90

    I got mine on eBay. There are quite a few. Just a case of finding one close enough unless you use a courier to collect it. What type are you after? Aluminium, steel, flat or box section?

    Insurance

    Having it garaged and extra security measures help. But as mentioned, age, driving history and location are big factors in what you will pay. Declare all modifications as insurers will use any excuse not to pay out if you claim.

    I have bought a station wagon

    As the saying goes, if it don’t look right, move it at night!😉

    Which driving/spotlights?

    ORE 4x4 lights are nice but then again, they’re not cheap.

    Reluctant swap? Wolf Defender 110 for 90

    Nice Landy! The conversion looks like a nice bit of work too. My wife refused to have a 110 when I got my 90 ten years ago, saying it was too big. But she’s only driven my 90 a few times since then!
