Land Rover Defender 3.9 V8 90 SOFT TOP NAS for Sale - Rogers of Bedford » Bedford » Bedfordshire and the steering wheel is on the wrong side!!

If you aren't going to do big miles then you might want to consider a D2 V8. They use more fuel but are a lot cheaper to buy in the first place so depending how long you want to keep it and mileage etc, worth doing some sums.

it's a ford v6, the 24v cosworth they fittted to scorpios i think. definitely a ford v6. It's got a fairly minimal exhaust, that exits at waist height. Engine is rear mounted. he did work to it before this season, lightened flywheel, new higher revving ecu, individual inlets per cylinder...

Just came across this and a few others on youtube. He's local to me and a good friend of my neighbour who works on the car with him, I've heard it run in his workshop and it sounds great. Wouldn't mind having a go at that type of off roading but alas no budget, etc etc. Might see if I can get...

you could try M J Rolls, they're in Bourn just south of Cambridge. Reasonable rates and nice bunch of blokes too

doors handles are different too :) D1 has big rectangle Morris Marina type jobbies, D2 has slimmer sticky out doors handles lots of other differences as already said

Mister 4x4 on the Hitchin to Codicote road was recommended to me (haven't used him myself though). As the name implies he does a lot of 4x4's, charges £45/hr labour. Or Woodside Landrover in Maulden (nr Ampthill/Shefford). Again recommended but haven't used

Checked tyre pressures, a little bit of air needed in all. Spare was only at 6psi so need to keep an eye on that and OSF down about 8psi so need to kepp an eye on that too. To be fair I haven't checked the spare ever so it could have been flat for 6momths !

Certainly wouldn't have to worry about picking up any little knocks in the supermarket car park:) shorland mk3 a.p.v.armoured land rover project.rare on eBay (end time 05-May-10 19:58:16 BST)

they are available in UK, not sure where from, bloke who lives in inlaw's street has a pair hanging down from his MX5

Popped out of work at lunch time and spotted this. Nothing in particular to say about it, just thought I'd share it with you :)

Been looking at the VOSA website and my Disco seems to be affected by 4 separate recalls R/2000/052 R/2003/179 R/2003/180 R/2001/010 the motor is a 2000 model so it's possible they've been checked and action taken or not. I assume the main stealer should be able to check it for me if I give...

my neighbour jsut replaced the MAF on his Vauxhall Zafira and surprsingly Vauxhall was cheaper than CAS (central auto supplies) by about £30, pays to make a few phone calls

Dropped it at the local independant for pre mot check and once over. Brakes binding, front suspension bottom bushes, drag link and handbrake need doing. Going to try MOT without doing bottom bushes to save on cash and do next month...fingers crossed Could have been worse I suppose.

Changed a couple of bulbs ready for MOT tomorrow

washed it and did all the external plastic and rear bumperwith vinyl trim cleaner stuff, looks nice and black now. Scrapped all the loose stuff off of the tow bracket and hydraulic step and painted with Hammerite smooth finish

That's exactly what i drive and it's great. Not particualry economical but you would have worked that out already, expect anywhere from 16-21mpg. 2000 model means cheaper road tax too. GS means you've likely got aircon, sunroofs and air suspension on the back but no leather seats or premium...

greased up the tail door slider thing, it actually moves nicely now, gresaed up doors and adjusted drivers door to shut a bit tighter. Checked rear brake pads, VERY LOW, best order up some new ones
