So, following on from last week after draining out the fuel. The next morning, I only preceded to run out of fuel on the way to the petrol station! It became obvious quite quickly how unprepared I was, having broke down on a busy but narrow country road with no high vis, warning triangle or...

After a LOT of faff yesterday, I managed to syphon out 60L of contaminated diesel. I've put 500ml of low ash 2 stroke in the tank and I'm going to fill her up today and keep filling her up every time I've used a 1/4 of a tank or less. Thanks for the collective advice everyone.

There was 1/4 tank when I stopped to fill up. Put 7l unleaded and then filled to the top with diesel. So it's 7l unleaded in the tank and the rest is diesel.

Stupidly, I've just put 7l of unleaded into my 2006 TD5. Maybe also stupidly, I immediately filled it to the top with diesel. Will I get away with out doing any damage or do I need to add an additive or lubricant of some sort?

I've just watched a you tube video this was linked to on here with the same problem and it was side repeater gone.

I knew that before I bought it. The Defender cost more to buy, more to tax and madly, more to insure!

£735 :oops:

Cheers, it appears to be all original apart from the radio (for now ;-) ) p.s Despite you mentioning it, I never checked the road tax until after I bought it. OMG!

Went over budget but got one.

I've got one now. 2006 XS 👍

Great thanks. My Mustang finishes on Ebay tonight and if it sells I will actively start going to see some.

I'm just going on what a couple of Land Rover "Specialists" have recommended but I'm open to suggestions within my budget. Must be a 90, have rear windows and seats.

Hello mate, thanks for your message. It's probably older than I was aiming for (I've got to keep the wife happy too this time) but can you send me some recent pics please? How does being converted from a van affect the insurance? Regards, Darren

Hi all, I'm looking for a Defender 90 with rear seats, ideally a soft top but not essential. This will be our daily runaround, so needs to be mechanically sound. I've been told to go for an 05/06 TD5 but I'm keeping an open mind. Budget is around £15k. I'm currently in the West Midlands but...
