New Defender Owner from Ireland

[snewlanx]

Hi, Just a quick post to introduce myself.
I've been doing research into buying a Defender for ages (this site among others made very good reading!).
I stumbled across my new to me 2007 Defender 110 commercial in a Landy dealer - she was just in and needed a good cleaning up so got it for a very keen price!
She was a ex-Mine vehicle and I know what I've read about the abuse these types of quarry vehicles endure - but she has the right documented history, mileage, and had been waxed underneath from new. All of the body work was straight and in very good condition (except from small dings along the side walls of the roof section as the rear wasn't ply-lined) - but nothing a good clean out wouldn't fix!
I've big plans for her and look forward to bouncing ideas off of you guys.

Just as well she came with a 12month Landrover warranty covering everything!
Yeah I was aware of some engine hassles, but the 6speed box sold me
