Why have you chosen a defender?

I never seem to find them at that price or even close enough to even go and have a look at them.

Bugger it failed



I was hoping it would be catastrophic but I've fixed the lights, off to craddocks tomorrow for a timing kit and front hub bearings. Then to buy a lower end engine for a replacement sump.I'm off work for 11 days so I'll swap the insurance over and run it for a week to decide but discos are a way nicer place to be than tratters.

I'm planning on taking it to Wales for a play on Saturday

Fuses & Bulb bi chance ??

Is that the twin turbo 3000GT or the normally aspirated? Looks clean and nicely original

Well in theory its a 1995 3000GT Twin Turbo with 86k miles, but I bought it with the engine in bits after a massive overheat and am slowly putting it back together with my limited mechanical knowledge!

And yes, it is rare that it is 100% standard, minus the painted wheels

@james6546 You could always let the tyres down & use it as a ramp !

It's pretty low. I'm actually really enjoying not having to stand on a box to work on the engine... though that may be because it's in the garage!

Cheers for that. If I put the fuse back in the motor will pop the button up and down but it sounds like the motor keeps going for another few seconds so it might just need adjustment. I wouldn't mind but when I last broke a discovery I weighed all the doors and internal gubbins in

You should NEVER do that !!!!!
If it's working then yes prob needs adjusting

Got a door lock that don't work on mine.
Still don't understand how you fix them
