bustersbus, refurbing the parts is a good idea but I'm a student would never get the time LOL tried ebay and yeah you can get cheap parts on there but not all the time I got a full set of seats for just 1 pound not bad i think. oil dripper, thanks paddockspares looks really cheap might get my new Exhaust System from there only 35 pounds now that is student prices LOL

Just remember to spend a little more money when it comes to the important stuff like brakes,steering and suspension

Stay out of the students bar a couple of nights a week to work on yer motor

And, be patient .... that cheap part might not be there when ye want it ( ebay) but might pop up soon

Nothing wrong with series brakes if they're set up properly and correctly adjusted........why make things more complicated than they need to be?

KISS..........(Keep It Simple Stupid)

LOL so youre saying defender brakes aren't safer? ive fitted new series brakes and i quote my brother "WOW they work better than dad said they would" LOL my dad said i was crazy for buying a series 3 and to start rebuilding it and he told me how bad they are but none of it is true so far she's been as good as gold so just asking cos you have two of them blue beasty but is it best to stay with the series stuff or upgrade to like defender stuff?

Depends what you want to do with it.....unless your planning on doing anything extreme why bother.

My 88 has standard 10'' drums, no servo, and will lock up fully loaded if I stomp hard enough, better brakes wouldn't stop me any quicker.

The 109 was a 6 cyl originally and has 11'' drums on the front, shoes 3'' wide, servo assisted. Original series kit.
I do some pretty heavy towing with her and never had any problems, quality parts and proper adjustment is all thats needed.

thanks for the advice and no im not going to do anything extreme with her LOL
