It’s turning out to be a really interesting start to Defender ownership. Within 2 weeks I’ve gone from wanting a good straight black urban car to falling for it’s rugged, bent and battered charm. I still want it looking smart but the ill fitting panels, uneven gaps and dings no longer bother me.... somethings happened
Pretty well but it’s slightly bigger than a standard unit so I’ll have to adapt a surround to make it look more professional. Satnav works, I was worried I’d have a Beijing street map!
. I'm following behind you with a 1995 300TDi Defender 90 that I picked up at Christmas. It too is relatively tidy and I hope mechanically sound because much of my effort this month has gone into new tyres and making it a little more workmanlike inside. Many of my immediate issues are non-technological - such as an occasional piercing squeak from the steering column and I am steadily working at improving the overall vehicle security. I too have had rainwater leaks - one of these appears to have been coming from the roof seam aft of the sunroof and water was finding its way to emerge at the top of the passenger door (on the inside ) - the dealer resealed the seam today and hopefully that's one less thing to worry about.
