Strange you should say that, my e reg 90 smelled funny too. A panel beater friend of mine thought it smelled like hot bodge, but even he wasn't sure.

Couldn't put a finger on what the smell was... Kind of musty and a bit burnt, with undertones of something metallic and wet dog

That's the one. Weird. Did you buy yours from a farm in Bowes too?

Well he doesn't exist anymore, he got stolen... And was completely unreliable and also smelled a bit funny and bits dropped off him daily and nothing worked properly.

I like my new upgraded one so leave me alone grrrrrrrrrrrr

That would probably describe a lot of peeps on here

Absolutely lovely looking defender! Very jealous!

You in that Defender are two kinds of gorgeous, Rosie. I like the color.

So nice

Very posh!

I'm thinking clear indicator lenses might suit that colour scheme..

Yeah... I have a massive shopping list of stuff I want to get, just trying to sort the practical stuff first... Towing gear and steering/diff guards next

Thanks!! I really love having a new one, and because this one doesn't have a lift even my little (big) dog can jump in the back without having to be slung in

What a nice looking Land Rover hope you've got some serious security on this one

I have sumo bars in my garage with an om emu damper. They are range rover classic but defender arrangement, damper on drag rod. Would they fit?

The guy does a bit if trading and autojumble. Nice chap
It was about 2 degrees with a light dusting if snow that day
He came out to greet me wearing a t shirt and a child hanging off his leg and proceeded to wax lyrical about how in this vehicle no one could know if I was lord lambton or muck heap mick
