    What do you think of this Defender

    Well, no but it seems to be the price you have to pay for the lowest mileage late model Defenders. For one with 70-100,000 miles the price is around £20,000

    What do you think of this Defender

    For sale, very low mileage looks almost new. Apparently has lived in France, owned by multi millionaire who kept it at his chalet. l am interested as it looks so nice, but don't have much experience with the Ford engine version. l've only ever owned TD5's Prices certainly seem to have dropped...

    Land Rover Defender TD5 ABS Modulator

    My local LR specialist regularly rebuild these ABS modulators so it certainly can be done. They recommend making the ABS trigger every few weeks as apparently it rarely does in normal Defender TD5 driving. Brake hard on gravel, grass etc. Stops the shuttle valve seizing up they said.

    TD5 Catalytic Converter

    No CAT as standard until the 15p engine (if yours has the updated dash it's probably a 15p) lt's not really a CAT more a particulate filter. My 2005 sailed through the MOT every year with the pre-2002 front down pipe (no CAT) l tried a new CAT on mine as the original didn't seem to do anything...

    Defender L663 review !

    SUPPLEMENTAL WHAT IF ANYTHING DO I MISS ABOUT MY OLD DEFENDER? Now l was thinking about this tonight while listening to my missus playing in a swing band. l was reading about a woman who was a Leprosy Doctor in Vietnam in early 1962, and she was kidnapped with her Land Rover. The vehicle was...

    Defender L663 review !

    MAY UPDATE, NEW DEFENDER Well, the new Defender is still performing without issues. Mileage is now 12,000. l still find myself looking at late model Puma 110XS for sale while sat in the bath, but at the moment l am sticking with the new one. Looks like the Grenadier has finally been certified...

    New Defender 90 Rear Seats Conversion L663

    Well, £40k minus what you could sell the Defender for at the end of it....likely around £15-20k if looked after. Still cheaper obviously to keep your old Disco. l thought long and hard before selling my 2005 Defender and buying the new one but being in business and using the vehicle all day...

    New Defender 90 Rear Seats Conversion L663

    The figures don't have to be that bad. Under £40k for mine after l put it through my business. While it won't hold its value like an old Defender, looking for example at the Discovery 4 values it will probably still be worth £20,000 in 10 years if l look after it.

    Defender nut and bolt rebuild

    That must be the best series 3 in the world. But £40,000 for a Defender Hard Top, can they really be worth that much? Wow. lf you bought it you'd have to store it in a barn and only take it to shows, or you'd wipe £25,000 off the value after a couple years regular use.

    LANDROVER SCAM .. 5 sunbeam street wolverhampton..ebay ..smart reconditioning

    After ten months is there no contact at all from them about your Range Rover? Can you go to the premises to have a look around. What was the last communication you had, and how long ago. What happens if you call them on the phone number?

    L322 Range Rover My m62 v8 lpg mite be for sale

    I very much doubt ULEZ will be scrapped. There's a small chance the proposed expansion will be canned, but l will be surprised if that happens. Whoever says they are going to do it will certainly get a load of votes. But once in power they've got to actually do it, and that's not a given. More...

    What money should I be asking?

    Put it on Ebay as an auction with a reserve (the lowest you'll take for it) and see what happens. You never know, there may be someone who wants one like this and it will sell. If not, you've lost nothing except Ebay's listing fee.

    What money should I be asking?

    Prices have fallen generally for Land Rovers round here. There's a lovely TDCi 110 XS Utility for sale locally at £21,000 Last year that would have been in the high 20's. The problem is the LEZ. In Sheffield it would cost you £10 every time you took it off your drive. There's one in Leeds as...

    Are prices dropping?

    l've been watching (and sometimes bidding!) on Ebay mainly for TDCi 110's Most remain unsold as they seem to have high reserve prices. lt may be due to some dealers still advertising them at high prices, making people think theirs is worth similar. Some have been on sale on Ebay multiple...

    Are prices dropping?

    I think that's always been the case with any "classic" vehicle. People in the concourse classic vehicle world get finicky about the correct screw heads and even the orientation of the screw.

    Are prices dropping?

    What do you mean by "original vehicles" do you mean standard specification with no modifications or original as in pre-Defender (Series 1/2/3)

    Are prices dropping?

    Prices rose a few years ago and stayed high during lockdown, after that they fell back to more reasonable levels and seem to have remained static since then. For instance back in 2018 l bought a very nice TD5 XS SW for £14,000. l had to sell it during lockdown due to money issues and a local...
