as far as i am aware yes, i have owned the vehicle for about a year and a half now.

Evening all, i have a 2001 TD5 Defender 90, i have started to notice that when pulling off from junctions it sometimes pulls away sluggishly then the turbo kicks in and its away, i gave the engine a full service (all fluids & filters) to see if that helped but it seems to be happening more...

Good evening all, I have a 2000 TD5 90 with some lighting issues. The dipped beam on the drivers side went, which turned out to be a broken bulb so that was an easy fix. However the dash lights and side lights front and back are not working. i swapped the bulbs for the other side which are...

I have just put a set of TerraFirma pro sport shocks on the rear axle and i have to say ride quality does seem a lot better, might be because i have been driving around with one broken shock for a while :(. hopfully they dont rust @Knappster paint job looks good on them but time will tell...

Hi all I have a 2000 defender 90, one of my rear shock absorbers has broken and i have started looking at replacing it. It seems that there is a huge range of choice from a £20 aftermarket part to £100's for uprated stuff like Terrafirma and Bilstein stuff. I tend to use it for driving around...

She is marking her territory!

The the arctic lorries in particular seemed to enjoy flying past hogging the white line and putting the fear of god into me!

Well that was a terrifying drive back home! Took an hour to get home and straight onto the dual carriageway, not the best place to reacquaint myself with series steering! By the time I got home it was all back to normal and it's very exciting to have her parked up in the shed. Still a couple of...

That is the landy ready to pick up from Strathearn engineering now that she is all finished and has passed her MOT! which is great news apart from the fact i now have a whooping great big bill to pay....:(:(. However i am not going to dwell on that too much its a lot of money but i have been...

I took the plunge and ordered it, if it saves me a year of MOT & Tax then it's money well spent if not it's nice to have

had a quick look online is the British Motor Museum the only place that can do these? seems to cost £45 for a certificate.

How did you go about doing that and how much did it cost?

Thats the one thing i am really pleased with the mechanic was very happy with the work i had done and said it is going to be pretty much a brand new landy with an old body on it :) fingers crossed i have many untroubled happy miles in it! the other thing is if it has taken him 80-100 hours to...

Unfortunately my series 3 is a 1981 so I have to wait until 2021 for that, but it's only 3 years away, I just can't wait to get behind the wheel again! Fingers crossed she steers a bit straighter now!

I have insured her with Adrian Flux for 3000 miles a year which should be enough its not my daily driver and i will only be pottering around the farm and local roads, also with added cover for any passengers in the vehicle, with a valuation of £8,000 for £140 a year, i am pretty happy with that...

just been down to drop off new seats for the series 3 and the mechanic fired her up for me, its the first time i have heard it running in 3 years very exciting! cant believe the progress he has made, hopefully it will be finished by the end of the week he is confident it will come in well under...

i cant find them any more information on them?

Just a quick update on the rebuild, Strathearn started on it last Monday, their mechanic was able to give it a full appraisal before he started and think's it will take around 100 hours, i just want her finished so i can enjoy driving her around this summer (if we get one) so i bit the bullet...

I know this has been covered quite a few times, but i was hoping someone might have stumbled across something new and also the search function on the website doesn't seem to be working. My lower dash that runs the length of the bulk head is not in great shape, especially the end piece for the...

your right, I have probably spend 1000’s on it already but because it was over an extended period of time £100 here £50 there over 3 years it doesn’t seem so bad, can’t wait to have her back up and running, they had a similar series 3 there to mine which was bombing about which helped stir up...
