Hello everyone,

Just thought i'd say hello and introduce myself. I'm Rosie, 33, I used to have an 1998, 90 hardtop with a TD5 engine, not too many toys - winch and snorkel - more of my dog/fun mobile. It got stolen last in 2012, recovered and then I was sadly parted from it, but that's another story...

Anyway, i'm very excited as i've just placed an order for a brand new one, while they're still being made here! Should be getting it beginning of November... Will be looking for lots of pointers as i've bought it relatively basic so i'd be able to customise it they way I wanted... Very excited. I think the salesman had a bit of a shock when I walked in - first women he has sold a defender to?!! :D
 
WELCOME!

First pointer is if the fender is brand new, then anything goes wrong, get it fixed under warranty ;)

Second, don't go wrecking it on a pay & play site.

Thirdly - ENJOY!

:nopics:

Yes, feels good to challenge those stereotypes! Us women have to stick together, so let us know how you go? As suggested get as much sorted under warranty as you can. I bought one this year, and having lots of fun and games with water ingress issues!! As well as a few other bits and bobs....;)
 
Thanks everyone! I will definitely make the most the warranty - only managed to get some free mats out of them ;) nearly made my eyes water when they wanted £165 for a load space mat...!

I have to say, I probably wont dare take her off road for a while - maybe some gentle greenlaning... wasn't bothered about my old knackered 90 but i've never had brand new vehicle before :D
 
Hah! it is knackered, just heard from the ex that the chassis needs a lot of welding - is what you get for taking someones 90 and their gun dog!

I wish i'd won the lottery... :(
