New Defender owner West Midlands

Hey everyone just bought my first ever landy a 90 wolf water/winter
Very excited about it can't wait to do stuff in it I'm normally an off road rider new to 4x4 any groups or events info would be appreciated

Hiya Wolf.

Sounds like a nice motor , so it has deep water wading kit on it then, please show us some pics , we like pics.

To go greenlaning I suggest joining GLASS , similar to the TRF you may already be a member of. Also there are lots of local clubs on Facebook that organinse trips out etc.

Cheers

Yes I have they look like an impressive bit of kit mine has only done 8k and looks like it was used on base only it's like new

They do look awesome, if it is anything like this one, then one thing I would say is change the bleed plugs in the thermostat and the rad top for brass ones.

They can do, just after getting mine I had the one on the thermostat snap off, Caused a few moments of concern. Cheap to change and easy to do.

Is there a specialist parts company or is it main dealer stuff

Loads of places sell them , When mine boke i got the replacement to get back on the road from B&Q as it is the same thread as a house rad plug. But if you google 300tdi rad plug brass then you should get a hit or 10.

Cheers

Get a decent pedal lock box, disclock and gearstick lock. Stick a tracker on it get insured up to the eyeballs and enjoy!

Obviously, popping in the shops you'll just stick the pedal lock on or sumat but the more you've got it locked down overnight the better. Don't worry too much if they want it they'll have it anyway

First things on the shopping list along with a radio

Congrats on your new Landy!
