Big hammers a plenty. And plenty of patience lol

I remember driving past that once! If snow comes, you'll def be ready at least :)

After much searching, false starts and misrepresented ads, I've got myself A 1986 LR 90, station wagon, 300tdi retrofit. (Post pics sometime) Big plans in store! One thing I'd like to ask you lot is.... An essential tool set contains.......? Got some stuff ofc, what kind of a...

i think there's a few from both MODs. i only had a chance to glance round the back of the lot (and those had no union flags on them). all the ones at the front had union flags so may have been NA. haven't yet seen a 300 tdi :( although did see 1 desertised snatch with the V8 (and under the...

for whatever reason, plenty of ex MOD landies are now up for sale around northern ireland, and a lot of them are really well priced. still hunting for my first defender. so really, what i'm wondering is.... can an MOD defender be converted easily to what would more or less be a 110 sw? of...

that's true. but drive it forwards :D my idea would be to nosey park it in the drive, and being locked in gear would prevent it being dragged onto a low loader.... and drive offs :) then again, if they want it, they WANT it. some seriously sad stories in the stolen section. wan***s!!!

now that, i'd love to do. but it'll have to be a bit of a rolling project as i'm probably selling the car to cover it (and the motorbike doesn't like the cold or the wet- pretty useful in NI) i'll be looking at these next saturday probably, maybe grab one at the end of the month if they're...

i totally agree with you tom69. these one's look alright, but what nasties are there underneath!? i've got a decent TIG welder and can pick up plate etc cheap, but hoping for a decent chassis at least. love the way everythings bolt-on-bolt-off though. btw, that's a tidy one you're rolling now :D

is that one of the snatches? :confused: think i've only seen desertised ones :)

trust me, i've considered it :) they were the ones that got me into my landies. saw one pull a bus upright back in the mid 90s and been hooked ever since. but some of them have such amateur paint jobs...

currently poking around a 300 tdi for just shy of 5k. with a bit of a mind flip.... i think so :) keeping it on the road though.... :D btw, madhouse is right - i'm coming from the volvo owner's forum! everyone's so spotlessly.... "good" there lol

well, hello :D richard (or rik) from belfast wanting to say hello. and.... i'm seriously considering a defender!
