hi all - from gloucestershire

Just saying hello. new landy owner bought a f reg 2.5 petrol 90 last weekend. ripped that out and shoved a 200tdi engine in, lucky enough found a defender one, and it only cost me £100. so she is running and im happy as a pig in sh*t. i have the bug band.

:welcome2: localish person
defender 200tdi 100 quid in one word a bargain

:welcome2:

hey your from hereford are you? im from the forest really coleford way. sister inlaw lives in lanwarn. and my mate lives in hoarwithy. we will have to meet and get them plastered in mud. yea my mate had the engine in his garage for 2 years and was skint so i bit his arm off. only prob is the 90 is orange so will be doing something about that this weekend hopefully.

ah nice easy to touch up then when damaged offroad nato green looks cool too
ye get some pics up
ah shes guttsy then i was thinking of turning mine up as it feels under powered after fitting my 305/70/16
mine is doing 140 on half a tank not sure what that works out in money terms about 21-23 mpg ish thats manly town driving though to and from work, do you boot it alot though?

dont really boot it alot, prob is because she is turned up so much turbo is always spooling even driving steady then i only really do about 20 miles a day to the farm and back thats it. so ill see. you had your landy long then?
