You Sir, are a dynamic forward thinking problem solver, and I doff my cap.

lightening, the new commercial looks lovely, you should buy it. I think the only criticism I've heard of them (from Harrys Garage on Youtube) is that the rear bulkhead isn't removable so can't get anything of any size in the boot

Good man, did you first have to move the mattress out of the way that has been propped up against the front of your house for the last 4 years? And the trampoline?

Whilst you have the rattle can out, it's a good idea to spray your house number on the front of your house, but must be done wonky and squashed up, where you have ran out of room

But the long list of failures were later rectified as it went on to then pass the MOT. However it was never MOT'd since, which is strange. However the buyer did intend to use it on private land, moving trailers around etc. So the fact it isn't currently in MOT may not be surprising if they...

I'm sure the bulkhead was still fine, any reference to door pillar corrosion may have been the B pillar. When I bought it 15 years ago (when it was 10 yrs old) the B pillar had some rust that I had repaired straight away.

Bulkhead was from Ashtree, who salvage used bulkheads and galv them. I arranged for them to spray it Bonatti grey before delivering it to me as I was eventually respraying my 110 from white to Bonatti grey. I think it may even have been a TD5 bulkhead that they modified.

I just had a nosey on the uk.gov site, hoping to see that it was still on the road and being used by them or another owner.

I had it 15 years and looked after it. Or so I thought! (It also had a galv bulkhead). It usually flew through, and without any major issues. Quite a surprise to see that list of failures. I do think that with a Defender you need the right kind of MOT testing station, with the right kind of...

Sold my 1996 300tdi 110 in 2020, at the time it had an MOT with no advisories. To me it was a nice example, with galv chassis. Sad to see it go. The following year 2021 it failed its MOT for the its new owner, with quite a list of major chassis failings (below). This surprised me due to it...

Wife took voluntary redundancy last year and in doing so she handed her company car back, that meant we only had the Defender which she refused to drive and I would never have let her drive it anyway. So decided to sell and we bought a Skoda Yeti. I do miss the Defender but I do love being...

Ten years after creating this thread I stumble upon it. Sold the Defender last year having owned to for 15 years, never owned a vehicle for so long. Kind of still miss it if I'm honest.

Bars sold. Just the set of 952 feet available

Selling these Thule roof bars that I used on my Defender. Bars - Thule 765 Feet - Thule 952 The measurement to the underneath of the bars is approx 20cm, and when fitted to a Defender they sit about 2cm above the roof. Bars are approx 163cm long and are lockable, but I only have one key...

Pair of Melvill & Moon seat covers for Defender front seats. These are for the double station head rest seats (as opposed to earlier 300tdi which had single station). I had them fitted to Defender XS seats. Good condition, though one set has a small hole worn through in the seat cover and...

I had steering wheel vibration/shuddering between 40 - 50mph on my 110. Had wheels balanced but no joy. Turned out to be panhard rod bushes. Got them replaced and problem instantly solved.

Now sold.

She's only short and doesn't like climbing in/out, and she just generally isn't interested in driving it, thankfully :D

Thanks, I am very sick about it. Held off as long as I could but finances dictate, and the wifes company car has to be returned due to her redundancy, effectively leaving her without a car as I don't let her drive the Defender.
