still not got that clutch done yet lol. Glad you guys had a good outing. I've freed the difflock off and got all the new bits so if i pull my finger out tomorrow then all being well i'm doing some lanes this week, got to do that bloody rear oil seal which i know causes many problems if you get...

Don't think i'll be ready this weekend, need to put a new clutch in and free off the unused difflock. Should only half a day but i don't like working in the rain :D

Not managed to work on it today so my next chance is thurs/friday. It's running and everything but need to get my wheels to fit underneath it now. Should only take half a day, I'll let you know when I'm ready.

Hello all, I've been busy, stripped and sold the defender, bought a knackered disco, replaced the engine and done some extensive modding, just need to tax it this week then I want to go to bonsal for some serious testing, anyone fancy coming along to at least let me winch myself out if anything :D

When ya dad hands down his pride and joy because he's fallen really ill and can't leave the house anymore you kinda feel bad letting it go for fook all, like i said, if it doesn't sell for that i wont fookin sell it!

I wouldn't of bought a 110 out of choice, i would of had a 90 for the pruposes i use one for. But didn't have the choice and tried to live with it but I can't and have a disco which owes me nothing. some of you are probably home mechanics and/ or enthusiasts and make sure you get a good deal...

I appreciate what you are saying and everything and do agree with you, It's not so much the current value of them thats my problem its the sentimental attachment of it that makes me not want to let it go for less than 2k, If it doesn't sell, it doesn't sell simple as. Then I'll look into it...

I do like it but prefer my disco as i get on with it better. Right then, weighing everything up, I think i'm just going to stick it on ebay with a reserve of 2000 and take it from there if it doesn't sell then I'll consider doing the work. It's had 8000 spent on it over the years so spending...

Well thanks for the info everyone. Think I'll strip it down, replace bulk and O/rigger, replace some seals n uj's etc, I've got a brand new clutch sitting here along with new slave and master cyls, do timing belt and water pump etc. Paint the chassis all over and waxoil it again. Replace...

Looking on autotrader 2.5k is in the middle of the asking prices for that age defender with tdi conversion so I'm going to give it a try, got nothing to loose.

I bought a v8 engine from a csw to put in the defender after rebuilding it onto a 90 chassis but decided against that idea in the end.

It's a 1990 fitted with a 200 tdi out of a defender 110 csw, i have the original LT77 in it and a later one with it. The out riggers on the drivers side have been replaced and the front one on the passenger side has a golf ball size hole, other than that it's a good solid chassis. My dad bought...

He's sold a few 90's n 110 recently on J plates or there abouts and each one over 6K, I know it's completely different from a trader etc but i do think 2.5k is possible with the right buyer.

They go really cheap on ebay, I think i'm going to stick it on the forecourt of the landy garage i used to work at.

1990 I can't sell it for less than 2500 so i'll have to see what happens, I'd rather break it and store the bits for the future :D There's 3 landy's and 2 cars in the household and not enough room for the defender to sit there doing nothing.
