Some good advice above. Standard parts will be easier to source over expensive upgrades when abroad. Keep to steel wheels over alloys as these are stronger and can be repaired or replaced much more easily. The more standard it looks, the less attention it will get. Mechanical condition is more...

They don’t look right on a defender (not the new type!) They look too much like the old steel wheels you’d have on a normal car from the 90’s to me.

Hi and welcome!

Make sure you do your research on who you’re using and don’t just go with the cheapest… https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/landrover-scam-5-sunbeam-street-wolverhampton-ebay-smart-reconditioning.339591/

Have you considered the military screw on lights? They’re more expensive but don’t seem to have the same problems as the standard lights.

They’ll impose that in addition to VED!

Hi and welcome! Very nice defender! Make sure you invest in lots of good security measures too. Defenders are very popular with thieves, especially the later models.

Sorry to hear about this.

Hi and welcome! Isn’t your avatar a disco 3? Don’t forget to post a picture of the defender if you have one. We like pics!

I had the P-gasket fail on my 300Tdi. It’s between the water pump and engine block. The new gasket is an upgraded one which shouldn’t fail.

Welly. I grew up in Taunton but visited regularly.

Hi and welcome! Don’t forget some pics of the Landy!

Agree, like I said, I’d leave it.

Is it a disco 200Tdi? If so, it’s likely a defender sensor has been fitted, which reads hot.

Roll cages come up for sale on eBay and fb marketplace regularly which will help price it. Does it mount onto the chassis or is it a non structural one for looks only? If it does fit onto the chassis, removing it may leave holes in the bodywork. Personally, I’d leave it but each to their own.

Where in Somerset?

As an occasional drive, I really wouldn’t worry about fuel costs. You’ll still get low to mid 20’s MPG. Use premium petrol too, not the cheap variety. It’s a very nice engine.

Hi and welcome! Tidy looking Landy! The 2.5 petrol is a nice engine too.

Hi and welcome! Good choice of Landy too! Lovely country as well!
