You get caught for stealing a car and you get let off with a caution???!!! WTF?? In America they call that Grand Theft Auto and you will get done for it.

Have you seen the rain around here lately. Might need a DUKW not a landy LOL

Thanks for the advice. I have scoured the internet daily and can't find anything decent around 10k yet. It seems that at this price range theres not much margin in it for the dealers, so they tend to be 1 or 2k over what you would expect. I think I have concluded that a 130 would be the best...

Ive already got a Disco3 HSE. Im thinking of chopping it in with something that has a truck type bed and separate cab. The stuff in my Disco is too close / mixed in with the nice interior and anything wet in the back gets the carpets soaked

So after days of solidly scouring the country for cheap and decent defenders, I've concluded the following and would like some expert opinion as to whether Im on track :) - There are old defenders, there are cheap defenders and there are good defenders. However, there are no old, cheap good...

I know, I know. I have that one one my watch list:) Trouble is, Im supposed to be downgrading in terms of creature comforts and price, and my newer disco with less miles full leather interior was 5k less than that 130. Yeah I know, its a Chelsea Chariot. I should get rid:)

Hello Henfield and Horsham! We've needed a land rover recently haven't we? :) Blimey, another theft? I was just reading that police advisory on another thread! How do you stop a defender getting nicked then? Immobilizer? Yes, we should meet up, its not like theres a shortage of pubs around...

Thanks for the advice. Thats useful, as I had discounted a few high mileage examples that looked in very good condition. This chassis waxing seems popular. Is that something you can do yourself? They were doing one at the garage earlier when I picked up the disco6

Why is the coppers always spend so much energy asking the public to make sure their stuff is secure and as difficult as possible to steal? I can just imagine the conversation: "Was your vehicle locked, alarmed and secure sir?" "Well it doesn't seem your alarm and steering lock was avery...

Im thinking of trying to reduce my running costs by getting rid of the disco, but if I got say a 130 TD5, am I asking for trouble in maintenance costs?

Thanks everyone. Yes, I may just have to chop it in for something a bit more basic. Just picked it up after a simple alternator change and it cost me over 720 quid. Ouch. 60 quid for picking it up, plus the alternator and belt / coupling which had seized up. And of course the damn VAT which is...

you just brought back memories (nightmares??) of my childhood holidays visiting relatives in 'mucky morley' LOL My gran lived near that shemtec mill. I used to play in their scrap yard as a kid, routing through all the old WWII stuff. Quite a few landy MOD parts in there!

Hello, Im new to Landies (currently have a Disco 3) and looking to get a defender. Just posted a 'which defender' thread as it seems there are more versions than Clintons explanation of Benghazi. Looking forward to learning more about our British icons

After living in America and happily driving a Ford F-150 crew cab pick up, I wanted something similarly capable back home in the UK. As I thought the wife would be driving it along with all the kids and Grandad in the back, I went for a Disco3 HSE with 7 seats. However, it turns out that all...
