I remember that. Behemoth

Truly building my dream. I always imagined a 130 twin axled beast like that merc amg thing the australian army use. Twin stacker exhaust an ship horn. Lol

Sorry meant on the 200tdi.

I think you need a cherry bomb exhaust. The neighbours will move out

Its all to do with the exhaust manifold. Defenders is lower i think. James can confirm on this

Its worth finding a defender 200tdi. Hard but well worth it. Even better if you can find one with gearbox still attached

I had a cummins out of a bin lorry. Apparently you gan get them with a turbo :0

I had to double take the number plate. Thought it said P. msl. Til i look again

Another point. A 90's towing legal limit is 3000kg 110 3500kg. So if she's moving a big horse or two be over 90 axle limit.

Thing with buying a defender is you really need someone who knows what they are looking at to give it the once over. The chassis can be a weak point as they rust. Doors too. If you post on here where the vehicle is usually someone with knowledge will offer (maybe for beer/fuel money) to come...

Pontyslapper. What are the things you guys are doing as a troop to raise funds. I saw something about old mobile phones. Anything we can do there? I have always had old ones in drawers. Plus..... I have an irritating workphone i am just itching to bin right now ;)

Did you fit the engine to the gearbox already in situ or did engine and gearbox get coupled outside and then go in together? Sometime if you are putting in separate its hard to get it perfectly true and the joint not under strain

Hmm ok. Soooo the range rover....... Is the new one better

The xf is plush. Rarely see a jag broken down ;) i see at least 3 range rovers at side of road a week

Jag xf. Trust me. If you want to feel pampered

My absolute pleasure. It is worth looking at wholesale for bulk purchases.

Count me in for a tenner. I was a cub scout and taught me skills i use to this day.

Hey vilguy. Have heard furniture is cheap at auction up there. Buy it and ship it to londoners ;) i have a mate who does that. They can't get enough.
