Hello

Evening all, i have recently purchased my first 86' defender which has been fitted with a Daihatsu Engine which i know some wont approve. It's riddled with the usual landrover issues barely anythink works lol needs loads of work and is on the original chassis which has been patched previously but is good for a years yet

Hi Dan,

Sounds like fun, bung up some piccies we like piccies.

and welcome to the looneyzone.

Cheers

Not got many yet but sure will have more soon enough....

What Daihatsu engine does it have ? is it the 2.8 TD?

Cheers

Yes the 2.8 but its the early one its got a leak from the exhaust manifold so thats guna be a great job
