It does, thank you

:D

Will be my first port of call, thank you

You are a star, thank you

So got the beast, it is a discovery 200tdi and box, doubling the clutch makes no difference and it only happens from third to second (also I am now in totally the wrong forum so apologies)

Hi, just picked up my first 90 (LR904C), is that a 90 or Defender 90? It is a 1984 and I desperately need some new wiper blades. From what I can see the model changed around this time. TIA

No pain, no gain!

Col, I was thinking that it might be about matching engine speed (takes me back to my MG Midget), plan to have a play on the way back and see if it changes better with a 48 year old at the wheel as appose to a 22 year old (christ, I sound like my Dad!). It's funny you should mention the fun...

Picking it up at 1100hrs this morning so was going to try double de clutching on the way back to see if that works. Will drop an update on here if I ever decide to park up and get out of it, I am like a kid in a sweet shop :) TC

Just thought I would let you know that I have just picked up a 90 (86) with a 200tdi and a 2” lift. So glad I listened to you all and was patient. Now the work starts MOT’d but needs tidying and the crunch coming down the box to 2nd sorting out. Just what I was after. Thanks again

Blimey, you guys have a wealth of knowledge. So glad I reached out and I am definitely going to give it a wide berth. Thank you once again for all your advice. Rest assured I will have more dumb questions in the near future

Thanks Col, that has got me nervous and thinking. I like the older series 3 and this one is an ex FFR but with a v8 which I like the idea of for extra power on the road and for towing. My budget is £6k so I am not really going to get in to a 90 or 110. I also want something that I can chuck...

Those numbers are interesting and I think they point to it not being a Stage 1. Managed to get the frame number and it starts with 9110xxxxC. It also appears to be a Military FFR model which I don’t think rings true either. Production year is 1975, the more I am typing here the more I think it...

Thanks, I shall do some more digging

Thank you for the info, really helpful. Assume if I get the chassis number I should be able to track down if it is genuine.

Hi, totally new here and after some friendly advice. I am looking at a series 3 109 with a V8, from what I can find out it is possibly a stage 1 (looks a bit like a Defender front end). My question is, are they a good vehicle and are they collectible or should I avoid? Apologies if this is a...
