I think its valuable to point out, oily engines come standard, its not an option.

Work camps where they have to work for minimum wage to repay owners of all vehicles stolen. No air conditioned cells, no tv no internet. F-em

Don't buy one. Take her on a date, buy flowers etc. much cheaper to rent.

Like a lot of people have said your needs define your vehicle. If you need the off road capabilities a Defender would be the way to go. But the other qualities of other vehicles should tip the scales, ie. comfort. warmth, safety etc. But good luck with whatever your choice.

I used an ebay china special... 6 months all good so far.

It seems it would easy to set up a sting by police. Are they reluctant to do this or what? Once they show up with the truck to pick up a "vehicle" they could nab the fuc..ers.

If you have to replace it replace throw-out bearing and the heavy duty arm while its opened up.

As mentioned in another thread I attached a clear plastic tube to end for bleeding clutch. Works great and allows one person to do it.

Old fashioned pump oiler can. That's what I used to Top mine up. Lot of pumping but works well.

Great job. I'm sure some of us will hope they can remember how to find it when we need it..... Not too soon I hope.

Infared temp guns can easily check temperature.

As mentioned clutch as well. I'd also do throw-out bearing and upgrade or weld original lever. Check surface of flywheel.

As well, give serious consideration to replacing clutch, throw-out bearing and upgrade or weld the lever that actuates the throw-out bearing. It is easy and cheap to do at this point in your rebuild. Check flywheel surface as well.

Just remember, owning a Land Rover, makes it true even more, its about the journey not the destination. Only been stranded a few times.

Was going to order some little electronic pieces of Amazon Prime, for my boiler relay at about $9 bucks each...went to check out and they wanted $70.00 for postage. Told then to get stuffed. Cant believe the rip off. I've learned to check carefully before I click Buy.

Just bought my Defender and on the trip home ran out of fuel. The needle was a little above the red and the next town was 20K away. I didn't make it. Called BCA and got 5 gallon delivered. A very nice guy also stopped and showed me how to use the little lever to re-prime. Wouldn't work. Didn't...

I carry a large bayonet, Cheap, easily sharpened. Mine, not to brag, is about 20" long.

Air getting in after you stop motor? If u crack open an injector while someone else cranks it you should get immediate fuel at injector. If not air is getting in somewhere.. (I think)

Thanks to all. The input helps.

Where is the most efficient place to locate one of these inline 120v heaters?
