    Kent / Sussex - Help with a Defender 90

    I've been told there's a guy in Northants / Lincolnshire who will do a re-chassis, but is happy to reduce the price significantly if you help / provide the labour. I'm based in Kent, and am wondering if there's anyone offering a similar service down here? My 18yr old son and I have a Defender...

    Marsland Chassis

    Evening all, A friend of a friend has ground to a halt on a Defender re-chassis project, and has a galvanised Marsland (Puma Defender spec) that he's looking to sell. It's been sitting outside for - I think - about 3 years. I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what is a fair price...

    Impact Sockets?

    Afternoon all, I've got some very rusted wheel nuts to tackle on a 91 reg Defender, followed by an attempt on a (rusted) re-chassis... I've got a high torque impact driver, and am looking to buy some impact sockets, but am wondering if I need to buy a "whole set", or whether I can pick and...

    Defender 90 "Father & Son" Re-Chassis Project ('91 Reg)

    In an attempt to get my 17 yr old son off various screens, and spend some quality time with him over the next year or so before he finishes A-Levels and ups and leaves, I've bought a 90 that needs a new chassis. I'm wondering if there's any way that we can pay someone to lift off the bodywork...

    1991 Defender - Blue - Replacement Driver's Door Required

    Hi there, I've got a Light Blue (1991) Defender 90, that's had its driver's door replaced - however the colour doesn't match the rest of the bodywork because of 30 years of fading. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a spare driver's door of a similar age that might be a better colour fit....?

    Chassis Replacement Advice pls - UK based, Defender 90

    Evening all, I'm trying to find someone/somewhere good and reliable to replace a chassis on a Defender 90. It's too big a job for me to do on my own - I don't have the space (or time - I don't think...) and don't have a large budget. No doubt like 100s of others here! I'm based down near East...

    Series 2A knocking noises

    Hi there, I have a 1968 series 2a, but it’s recently developed a few knocking noises. I’ll try to explain where they’re coming from: 1) in the raised tunnel between the gear stick and the middle front seat. At very slow speed, going down hill. 2) another “knock” sounds like it’s coming from...
