If it is a dim-dip resistor, then link it out. The one on our 90 is, and (apparently) the headlights have worked in the past! Just make sure the wiring is all connected up right and is a heavy enough gauge for the current. Dim-dip was a UK only regulation from the late 80's I think. As the name...

If you've got a trade card they'll be even less. Got the £50 1/4 set for £12.99!!!

Dad bought the 1988 90 we've got now. He's also 6ft6. He only bought it for playing in. Felt like he was having to look out the very top of the window and that his legs got a bit uncomfortable if sat for a long time. Didn't fit the mud runners or remove the bh. I'm going to fit the runners tho...

It's round the corner from us. Was thinking of going to see the 1988 90 he's got- it's the twin of mine and need to see where all the bits go! It's come down by 2.5k in a week. Agree that 20k is mental though!!

The estimates from the repair prices are always eye wateringly expensive! I rear ended a Citroen c2 at about 5mph at a roundabout in my mini (BMW). I had a loose number plate- C2 needed a new bumper and boot pan(must be made of fag paper and chewing gum). insurance company wanted 2.5k to fix it...

I think the main issue with the defender is that they can't viably make it meet new safety regs. Think they're having to reclassify it as a truck to stretch it out a few years longer. It's been switched between passenger vehicle and truck a few times I think. Sarah

Oh no, got no cash to buy. More just to see the interior. Lets hope the sellers not on here hey?!

Just seen this on eBay! Looks great! Think we'll try and keep mostly original like this. Been trying to find some county interior photos so this has been handy. It's round the corner from us, so may have a look!! http://bit.ly/Ytdv6W

Thanks. It's not too bad. All missing bits are in the parents garage, but that's 120 miles away! What we've seen of the chassis it looks good. Think the bulk head has been protected by the thick layer of oil all over everything under the bonnet. The pillar on the bulk head needs welding...

Welcome! My dad didn't tell me his disco 2 had this problem. I found out when we went round a corner and the headlining p****d all over me. He never fixed it- just didn't sit where it leaked! Enjoy!!!

It's probably to let the water run down. We've done it on our golf to stop the water running into the car. The idea is that it runs down the plastic to the drain holes. We used heavy duty bin bags and duct tape. Classy!!

This looks quite handy for spraying the inside of the chassis: http://bit.ly/13tUpky I'm not planning a full strip down, so looks a bit easier than tipping it inside the chassis! I don't want it to turn into a 3 year plus project! ;)

The back door looks great! Think I'll steal that idea!!

Wow! Good luck!!! That looks like more than we could handle. I hope you've got somewhere warm and dry to do your jigsaw!

Finally some pics! Spot the missing parts!! Arty one first No pics of interior- it's half stripped out and we haven't got any of the bits. Now, where to start...

Hiya! I have the same! My headlining looks awful! Suspect it also lets alot of water in!!

I can't get the Facebook link to work. What's the group name? Although wont be able to make the next 1, would like to remember for once Jimmy's up and running! Thanks!

Thanks for the replies! I think! Station House- we're getting Jimmy on Tuesday (it's a him). Was wondering if we parked him next to a her would we get some baby landies? Seems a good idea to me! Was only thinking that last time I sat in the rear seats I kept sliding off, but thought that any...

I did think it was odd it doesn't have them, as its a 1988! Then again 3 of the seats aren't fitted either. Maybe I'll chalk them up on the list of things my dad and brother removed and never got round to refitting! They must still exist somewhere! Probably in my dads garage. although possible...

Lets hope not hey?!
