Hi All,

I'm the proud owner of a red and white 1977 Series III called Santa, a 1999 Defender TD5 110 Called Gertie and an Octavia called "Ding-Ding"

As we live in a village 8 miles from anywhere, "Ding-Ding and Gertie" are our main methods of transport so do tend to have any work done by local garages. All in all they're both reliable beasteis. Santa is the paytoy/ backup transport in the event of something happening to one of the other ones.

The main pain in doing any work on either of the LRs is the fact that our garage isn't big enough to get either of them in, so it's an outside weather permitting sort of thing

Goy a few things that need doing to santa so I'll certainly be asking for some help from you all

Just as an update, the family have expanded. We now also have Gertie a 2004 td5 110 County. One cold dark night an extremely inebriated woman decided to stop her very quickly by running into the OSR corner of Gertie. While this was being sorted out ( insurance quotes etc) we were convinced that she'd be written off so found "Effie" (SX04 EFY) in St Boswells just outside Edinburgh. Surprisingly enough the insurance company didn't fix her, but did give us enough money to have BlackBaw 4x4 near York to sort her out. There was quite a list of things to do but she's back even better than she as before.
