Firstly, I recommend Eddie's autos in Wombwell near Barnsley. Secondly, Diamond Defenders in Hemsworth between Barnsley and Pontifract.

The OP might not even be able to drive a vehicle over 3500kg.

Thank God I have a Defender today. Flooding is horrendous. Cars turning around to avoid floods, me driving straight through. Also I feel sorry for people with electric cars today.

Just be careful with SP4x4, their customer services are ****e, and the parts aren't well packaged. But yes, they are cheap, see if you can collect rather than deliver and you might get better service.

Firstly, the 2 part doors tend to be cheaper, not more expensive. Unless you are buying the MOD door tops, for some reason. I am not aware of any difference between the series 3 top and the early 110 door. Except hinges maybe. Which wouldnt affect you. I hate to suggest them, but have you spoken...

Yes

Is that not the codes you need to identify the exact vehicle?

I would, just in case he goes to his insurer.

Not yet, but I have covered it in wax oil and checked all the torque settings.

He loves it, I couldnt get him to go to bed because he wanted to drive it around.

Today I have proven that I am the best dad EVER. I decided to buy my son his first Defender. It's beautiful. It's a TD5 90 CSW, in green with white roof. Full black interior. It's in a better condition than my Nintey, but then I wanted a project. My son just needed one he could go straight out...

So an update. First fitted a set of black modulars with Cooper Discoverer AT3 2e5 85 R16 tyres. Very nice. Then Finally sorted the oil leak from the oil pipes. Swapped the connectors in the oil cooler for the old imperial types, and then fitted 19j cool pipes, sorted. Fitted new front doors...

I have, but I've not added to it recently. I will have to later on I think. But I need to get me some pics tomorrow.

New doors, new windscreen, new sills, all new door rubbers, new hinges, new door locks/latches fitted. Starting to get some basic comfort back.

See I want more of a street sleeper. You don't know it's a beast until you put your foot down. Besides the wife would hate the noise.

I have personal dreams about fitting a V8. I keep looking at 3.5 V8 efi's on Ebay. But my wife would actually kill me, and then to spite me she'd scrap my Ninety.

You can fit a 300tdi to an LT77, using the Steve Parker conversion kit.

It would be easier and look better if you changed both doors. Also I believe thrift handle door striker is different to the push button striker, I could be wrong, and if I am, someone will correct me.

It's all personnal preference. I personally see nothing wrong with the standard door mounted types, but some people say it's too much weight for the door. Mines been on 30 years and still has the original back door. Others go for the Mantec swing arm, that opens with the door, but puts less...

Your best bet for a proper job is a complete strip. If you don't your going to miss area that will just rust again later. The simplest way is to separate body from chassis. You dont need a lift, just some scaffolding polls to rest the body on, and 4 strong men to lift. To make it lighter take...
