Got the same model and year as mine then greyhair?! :rolleyes: Just spending more money on it to sort out the theft damage (as well as the statutory police £200 recovery fee, unrecoverable due to £200 excess) after having forked out for new brakes all round etc. pre MOT in November (that, like...

Some of you may have read that my old Defender 90 was nicked at the end of January (since been recovered). I spoke with a DC in charge of the case today as it's now confirmed to be part of a larger investigation. Several Land Rovers have apparently been stolen in recent months, the locations of...

Great to see the finished article and all the progress since I first dropped in to this thread a while back. Well done on all your hard work and passing your test :clap2: Happy motoring matey. P.S. Mine'll be down on a trailer in a bit for your first commercial job :lol:

Cheers guys. border and Rosie, be sure I'll let you know if they find out who it is, and anyone else in the NE area. Nigel, yep sound advice mate, ta. Just meant I'd share a few of the ideas and reviews of security gear once I've got myself sorted - some how to's for example on home made...

£200 excess duane, so out of pocket already :(

Cheers mick. Well, quick update, I've now heard from the police three times today. First call was community section asking if I wanted to take on Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator as there isn't a NW in the area. Yup says I, can't turn down free cups o' tea at PACT meetings or the chance of...

Thanks. I'll tell you how much of a relief when I get to see it greyhair :) Don't know at this stage how much damage and what, if anything is missing from the interior. Still waiting to hear back, they did say 2 or 3 days for CSI to go over it, but yes, enormous relief. Don't know if I said...

Thanks again for the good wishes guys. Rosie and Mick - if you're near that area you may know some of the people I spoke to. Both Helm Park garage at Tow Law and Auto Services over in Stanley said that it's happening a bit too much at the moment, the word Helm Park used was 'epidemic.' Can...

THEY FOUND IT! THEY FOUND IT! THEY FOUND IT! THANK YOU to all forum members who participated in posting details of the LR and helping with the search as well as sending good wishes. My LandRover has been found in a ditch this morning near Causey Arch over the border in Gateshead Council...

P38dseGAV - cheers mate, will have a look at that site. defender11069 - I will put it on landywatch thanks for the heads up. the_wolf - cheers, I will pm Landyfox, the more eyes the better. bellowhead - thanks mate. Yup, I'm not loaded and all the money I have is in the LR. My gear...

Hi Will - police will be here at 2 tomorrow. Have spent best part of the evening driving around likely yards/breakers etc. No joy. Police say as soon as it was reported stolen earlier today the n umber would be recognised by the cameras but as far as I know they haven't physically checked cctv...

Thanks very much mate, appreciated. Been greetin' me eyes out over the items that belonged to my dad and brother, absolutely gutted. Vehicles can be replaced but there was also a pile of recovery kit which took a long time to put together and the items belonging to my dad and brother can't...

Hi all My Defender has been stolen this morning - can anybody help in tracing it? *** Description removed by poster as now recovered. Just MOTd this month. 2 new Michjelin 4x4s on the front. Full new brake system all round (calipers the works) including new hand brake shoes. Several new...

Great rebuild and brilliant pics of the work - and you're 16! :eek: Some handy tips as well on kit, will look for the Flag deruster etc. cheers. Good luck with the exams and looking forward to more updates :)

That made me laugh! Cheers :D

Thanks for the welcomes and the tip. Rattle has not reoccurred, did the usual checks (posted in done to your Landy today) and I can now confirm with confidence that the problem was "unidentified rattle." All well. :D

After mentioning the mysterious new clattering noise in my intro the other day I'm now pleased to say I have a definitive answer to what it was.....I don't know! Investigated under the bonnet, nothing amiss there, all reservoirs topped up, nothing in the fan, no bits dropping off. I took it...

Ahah! A fellow 2000AD fan. Sad git that I am, I'm a 2000AD anorak as well as LR owner :D Thanks for the welcomes.

Hi all I'm based in Tyne and Wear and currently own the financial black hole otherwise known as a 1989 '90. Registered with the forum a few months ago whilst in the throes of an engine conversion but lost the will to live during that so didn't get posting ;) I've had two Series IIIs in the...
