Carriage and packing charges might be an issue. If so let me know, cheaper if you pay my air fare and I'll buy a bigger rucksack
That would be great! The more help the better. There is actually a healthy Land Rover Community here in Grenada also. Just that most of the vehicles are older series vehicles. Great to see them all out on the road though! I am looking forward to getting my Defender ready to go so I can join up for a few of their events.Welcome to LZ, Mate!
Sure you know already, but that is actually a Ford engine, so you may find Ford people can help you with advice as well. Defenders are fairly basic nuts and bolts mechanics, as is the Duratorq engine, apart from the electronics.
There is at least one other member with a Defender in the West Indies, although I haven't seen him on the forum for a while.
He may have helpful tips about sourcing parts and so on, I will see if I can call him up for you.
Are you out there, @Barbados ?
Well - they don't put salt on the roads in the winter here, but we are surrounded by salt water. I think that people just take good care of their vehicles. I think I am the third owner of my Defender and it has very little rust underneath.
I will definitely do my best to keep it out of the ocean and off of the beach! Or at least give it a good fresh water wash down if it does go to the beach. There are some great beaches up at the north end of the island where the leatherback sea turtles come lay their eggs. I have been looking forward to taking the Defender up there to camp out on the beach and watch them come to lay eggs.
