hmmm nice trick, gotta remember that.

change the leads :P i assume you have checked them? Do they still look clean and do they feel solid on the connections? sparky, sparky is not good, unless it's inside the camber :P

Yeah, i thought so. well, not i'm gonna spend 14000 euros for a car i don't trust. Good thing my feelings were right this time. I bought the defender cause i drove it first and went all happy :P now i want to look at it first and then drive it if i like what i see so far, else i might go all...

Haha :P Well, had a look at a second one today. Again, disappointed. it looked great, not a scratch. The light interior i wanted. It said it had service history. It did, but only the first 84k km, the other 100k km wasn't in it. When i mentioned that the garage sales dude got a bit angry and...

That water in the boot thing, is that just a doorseal which needs to be replaced or is it something more horrible? Do keep in mind i had a old defender. When it was raining, you got wet, very simple :P

yeah maybe, but it looked like a cover up too me. I understand that you don't fill in the book when you do it yourself, but he's the garage owner (he has been riving it for 4 or 5 years). Should make sense to fill it in as thats part of your normal job too right? Ah well, i do have 4 or 5 i can...

Well i went to have a look at the first one today. It said it is green, but turned out to be grey. Some sort of coat. Easy to remove he said. He wanted it to try. Try and cover some scratches me thinks. It started nice, no rattle nothing. Garage owner used it as his ride. Maintance was done by...

I'm not rich enough to afford a diesel :P We pay 2275 pounds per year road tax for a heavy diesel beast like that, petrol version are "only" half of that. I mainly ride my motorbikes. It's just handy to have a car when i need one. Might as well be another of my toys then :P The price range...

why one after 2006?

Thx for the info all :) I've been googling for the sounds which is shouldn't be hearing, that will help. The full service history will be a must for sure now. That should tell me enough i hope. Maybe just spent a little more for sell problems in the future :)

Hey all, I finally managed to dry my tears after selling my beloved '86 ex-mod Defender last weekend. So i'm looking for something else. I've always liked the L322 for its looks and i found out they early ones are getting within affordable price range here in Holland. When i bought the defender...

Evening gents, My 110, 2.5na ex mod, started to run a little rough after starting it in the morning. Didn't pay too much attention to it as I prolly have a headgasket issue too :D except that at one point it just died after a few seconds of running. Not good. Needed the dutch ANWB (road assist...

i'm not a fan of using kit, but i didn't want to take the roof off, so i do have to admit that i put kit where the sidepanels hit the under panels. :D

cammo :D

Got the new rubbers from paddock. Much thinker than the ones i had. A bit of trail and error to get the top half to sit propperly agains the doorrubbers but it looks like i might stay dry and warm the rest of the year :D

Cool, cool, thx for the reply :)

Don't forget earplugs and be prepared to be stuck in your own mind for those hours :D ( ihave an exmod 2.5n/a) Done 1700km (4300km in total) from Rotterdam to mid Norway this summer. only lost a little bit of transferbox oil, which made for an uncomfy 2 days ride. First two fuel stops a 2...

Are you sure you want those? I have a hard time getting them waterproof, and i'm not the only one :D

well, that's plan B, kit always works :D

Any1 else who might be able to answer my question?
