Bought my first S3 in Oman in '86. It went over a 16 ft drop when the handbrake failed. Wings, bonnet and roof mangled and other dents. Drove it back to base, 80 miles, without being stopped by the police. Roof off and everything else down to chassis and running gear. 3 months later as good as new.
Now have a 2013 Defender and a 1976 S3 (Purple Beast).

Hello, I bought a D90 Carabinieri version 2.0 MPI a few months ago, and I haven't been able to find where to buy parts for that engine since it is uncommon in the D90. Do you have any contacts? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

You would do better to post on the main forum.
It’s a T16 rover engine loads of parts available.

You could try asking this garage in Turin, they are a very well known team with experience on defenders: Gaute Da Suta (Piedmont dialect for "get out of under there")

Many conversions from Carabinieri vehicles are done in Turin

Owned rather a lot of Land Rovers over the years. My first was an early Range Rover Lomas Ambulance which I took everywhere.

Then I ended up with "Lilly" a 1960 ser II 88 FFW, well thats what it started as... . It had a certain notoriety and appeared occasionally in 4x4 Mag and IOR.

Hello mousemat, did you get any joy with Storey-Wilson, I paid for EAS V4 installed it on a Toughbook windows7 all drivers say they are installed but will not recognise the dongle and will not update just keep saying the whyupdate does not work. I have emailed him but nothing and from past experience he is ****e at replying. Did you manage to get yours working?

wonder what your thoughts are? I've never even looked over, let alone driven an X5. I am sure it's lovely (owned BMW's when I was younger and bloody loved em).

Cheers
PS - Sorry for all the messages, wouldn't let me post more than 420 characters

Things to check
Timing chain at 100k+ miles, big job £3k
Transfer box not juddering on slow full lock turns
X5= big quick truck that tows great but it's big
Fl2 = does better off road and softer on rough roads, doesn't tow as much weight
I should be able to update when I get the fl2 at weekend

On the X5 get a code reader and scan it before purchasing!
Might help with underlying faults...when eml light comes on its normally too late :oops:

Seems to have been cherished by a knowledgable owner, swirl flap delete. new brakes front and back, new HP Dueller tyres x4. Says it's been loved. £4000.

Seems cheap but I know people are struggling to sell so that may not be a red flag. Lot of car for that money if not.

I've just been offered a 2009 X5 M Sport (35D) in black. 145k miles but lot of work done. Complete new suspension, airbags, pipework, compressor. All injectors he said replaced but need to check that as I am told the only proper ones are £1000 each due to only Bosch being able to replace the important bit (Piezo crystal).
