easier said than done, especially if its going from one fuelled engine to a different fuel? surely it would be more than just the engine that needs ti be swapped? the fuel tank the exhaust? basically everything mechanical? sorry im not mechanically minded im just a guy that only knows how to top...

hi mate , many thanks for the tips been looking at older ones on e bay for sell aswell going back to the 80s , theres one 5 miles away going cheap but its a 2.5 petrol, definatley not what im after lol

one of the questions insurers ask is does your vehicle have an alarm or immobiliser? i do not even know? i am assuming they dont which is why they are easy to pinch? im sure the td5 onwards to the tdci has an alarm and immobiliser but not sure about the 200 and 300 tdis?

#just had a look at that annetts and orchard im affraid i dont qualify for that, it says the vehicle must be modified and must be used off road, affraid im looking for just a standard defender, and not looking to thrash it around in mud either for the sake of it. maybe the occasional play but...

how old are you tho mate? im 26 and got six years no claims and they still class me as a 17 year old lol only one insurance company gives me a quote with a van or truck defender with rear seats and thats flux direct

well i come to the conclusion to just keep saving up till i see one come along. seen alot lately that look like station wagons with side windows and back seats but when i go to put the reg in on comparethemarket.com to see if it really is , it comes up as a pick up or panel van. dont know why...

there is a guy called motodrome on e bay, 5miles north of reading who seems to make a living just selling motors, mainly defenders. just would like to know if anyone here has bought any from him or knows anything ? hes selling one at the moment for just under £10,000 looks nice but a bit out of...

lynall, im a bin man so i emptied all the bins around that area, i know in the estate next to the prison there is a red defender 110 that belongs to someone. lol

most of what i seen around my area in kent are for sale at garage forecourts which will sell the motor at at least £1500 more than what its actually worth, im aware i can get one cheaper if bought privately, just not many around at the mo and most defenders at £8000 and below do look very tired...

well many thanks everyone for your tips. i think if i ever decide to get one it will have to be used as a 2nd vehicle to use on weekends etc. mechanically when it comes to maintenance i always relied on a garage, even for servicing as i havent a clue when it comes to manual work or mechanics lol...

i find admiral are only good for first time customers insuring a new policy with them keeping it at a low price then when the renewals start coming through then boom they start rocketing up the prices. think best policy is go with a new insurer every year tho tbh haha
