So like many on here I have this re-occuring illness that means I have to periodically buy a Defender which I throw money and time at, before selling it at a loss. Well Im suffering another bout at the moment and I know Im fishing at the bottom of the pool financially. I have convinced myself...

All sorted now, got one thanks.

Im after a series 1 or 2 front panel with lights and grill to make a wall light for my mate who used to be into Landys but is now too ill to drive. Condition doesnt matter as a bit of "patina" will be fine and Im going to adapt the headlights so they light up on 240v. Just a thought in case...

Theres a few cock up in miles on the MOTs with mileage of 533, 000 being recorded etc. The service history I have with it suggests its genuine miles going by the rate its been accrued and so on. I can only vouch for it as much as any second hand car to be fair but going by the paperwork I think...

Do you know I am so fed up of knobheads and tossers. Why does car buying seem to bring out the worst in people? How many people have arranged to come and view and then dont turn up, or you negotiate a deal and then suddenly you hear nothing? I dont know why people cant just play with a straight...

Begging your pardon all Ive been a complete numpty there as the price hasnt copied over with my inept copy and paste so apologies to all. Im asking £7995 for it. Curly wurlys and M&Ms are out as im under as much pressure tol ose weight from SWMBO as I am to get rid of Land Rovers.

Hi Im after what Ive advertised it for. If it doesnt go then Ill have to do what everyone does and consider dropping it.

Yes thats a good point they can be a bottomless pit when heart over rules head! I dread to think the money I have spent on various land rovers over the past 40 years and the ones Ive wished I had kept. Currently cash wise pretty much what Im asking to be honest, I have too much in it to drop...

FOR SALE 2001 TD5 84k miles Mot until March 25. Low miles TD5 thats had a lot of money spent on it and as a result, drives beautifully. Its specification reads like a who's who of the Land Rover world. It’s been tuned by Jeremy Fearns, Old Man Emu 2” springs and shocks, ARB front and rear...

NOW SOLD

Thanks for that.We had planned to go through it completely and Im disappointed not to be doing that. I wanted to spec it with a very mild lift and some decent seats and really get it great like it deserves. I suspect it may go to a dealer who will do just that and add a few thousand to it.

Managed to post this with no words so sorry about that! Im selling this TD5 County station wagon thats only done 34000 miles. The chassis is mint, engine runs beautifully but its a project as its been off the road for a number of years and has no interior. It will need springs and shocks and...

Im after a smaller wheel then the current ship size steering wheel fitted at present. Something 14" or 15" like a Mountney or similar with boss kit. Just if anyone has anything kicking around they want rid of.

Just to finish off this post it was as simple as a fuse. Though I feel a bit daft to be honest it seems the power to light the binnacle comes from the ns sidelight and the fuse for this had blown. Check the obvious before thinking too far ahead is my lesson on this one I think. Nevertheless...
