Got mine on the road with the Diesel engine and new gearbox.

Me and the old fella took the old girl for a run to Tamworth to collect some front seats that I won off Flea bay

He kept saying how noisy it was inside and that the seats were uncomfortable
But that did not stop him nodding off on the way back home

Loving the defender more and more

Looked at my gearbox .

Driven it about with the windows and rooves open in an attempt to dry the interior out (was going out in the car anyways).

Freed the pin in the tow hitch, removed trailer stabiliser bracket and raised the hitch (4 hours everything was rusted solid and I've got through my entire stock of cutting discs ).

removed the engine from the back of it, I now have a back up car for the laning trip

took the bumper off and removed the lower plastics and found a gremlin behind the bumper to refit the corners



found the wiring for the second horn and renewed the spade connectors on the alarm sounder. and then switched the dickie seats side to side so the belt buckle can now clip away properly

Removed all the rear lights in anticipation of removing the tub. Just need to label the wires.

Nearly finished adapting my roof bike rack to a tow ball bike rack. Much safer for both me and the bike if it's lower down and more accessible

New reverse lights fitted

Watched my mate fit rear axle and new brake pipes to it

Looks good back on its wheels for the first time in years

Just picked up a rear axle with discs for my 110 and will do a rebuild then swap it for my old drum braked one.

ordered a new thermostat.

Fitted my new LED spots today

Just need adjusting

Replaced drivers door lock cos my ****part one was doing my head in, sorted the heater so I don't die of hypothermia on the way into work and replaced the seal on my split piece military doors with the right part number, what a difference that makes already
