Removed the bed system Fixed(pop rivit) a bar back onto the tail gate Installed the new spare wheel brackets to get the tyre off the floor. Off to shops for nuts/bolts/washers. Replace stocks And when the mrs won’t hold your nuts ;) use a...

Ready for summer when it starts raining again 🤣

Great pics and stunning scenery. 😁

Whilst washing the 90, the blades needed replacing. A pair of Bosch replacements were purchased from eBay for a good price.

We go to Wiltshire or West Berkshire on occasion if you fancy coming along. Usually post up in the Green lane section before we go.

Do these big trips same time every year as the friend comes over from Germany just for lanes & overlanding. As for local stuff…. I think August may be the next trip.

Can you let me know if you plan anything else in near future? I’m keen to do a bit in pig. Apart from private land that day I had a go in yours is last time I went. Years ago now. Time flies

Nope…. Nothing will fit. Dash to wide Doors wrong shape Seatbase… does the motor still have the tank under the seat? Now do you want photos of a series 1 interior?

Looks like a good time was had

Update…. 3good days of lanes. We decided not to do strata as lots of bikes out on the Taffy Dakar. They warned us 1 normal lane had a landrover off the edge & rolled down the bank & been there a few days. We was able to miss the section...

@landielover2a Here a few photos of the front brackets needed to mount the 2B cab. This does have a new chassis(inspected by dvsa) It has power steering(adaption done to chassis when built)

Day 5…. New wiper blade needed(replace 1 now the other has broke) Filled screen wash up Checked oil Kicked tyres All good & 180miles drive home.

I usually would but Mrs K was out so I thought I’d use the hoover whilst she wasn’t looking!😁

Washed it and polished it. Hoovered out the inside too. I got carried away… 😂

Broke the headlight washer.. rest of it was fine due to lack of speed involved,but if someone was walking between the motors it could have been worse.

Thanks so much for this, mine is still in a box after 8 years !.

And it never ends... the brake check light was constantly illuminated... Both wires had corroded/snapped off the level switch that sits in the clutch/brake fluid reservoir... had to unpick the connector and solder the wires back on.

The rear floor had enough metal moth holes to think pulling the floor up and replacing it was a good idea: Its not a job to be rushed. I think there were 66 spot welds and I lost count with the steel rivets, some of which were easy to access...

Mine needed an adjustment this week. 3 clicks as normal and parked on the hill. 10 mins later it rolled back 5 foot into the Hilux behind me….centre double locking nuts had vibrated loose green laning. May change this to a single nylock instead

In which case I would Definitly contact autosparks (LINK) they have standard on the shelf but can also do “custom” so should be able to get what you need.

My Defender is a Perentie 1989 Australian Military version with a 3.9 diesel Isuzu engine.

No!!!

Was due to drive strata & spotted loads of motors heading that way. There is a small diversion route due to damage & been authorised etc by council. I do take photos of motors/idiots & have reported them. Normally stop & ask a few questions &...

Or the relevant council.

Twas merely a bulb

Filled up with fuel, decided to do a last minute Greenlane trip tomorrow now that the seasonal TROs have been lifted.

Cabin is smart as now! A reminder of where it was!

Found a nice flat parking spot for the night. And had a good day on the lanes in wales. Friend decides to drag the trailer round to see how it is(done well,but you have to remove trailer electric to raise the suspension to highest settings)

Top up/fill up… Engine oil Water Screen wash Kicked tyres Power steering( looks like a small weep on drop arm) A fixed a bit of tape to the throttle adjuster to stop the cable winding loose due to diesel vibrations Loaded motor for few days...

I figured out how to take the glass out of the front sunroof, which is actually very surprisingly simple, so I’ve been rolling round with both sections out the last couple of days 👌🏼👌🏼.
