I think your experience is called a 'lifestyle choice' in Landrover marketing language :) I hope it's nothing serious, don't be put off by a few niggles, they are a lot of fun.

Thanks Shifty! I have been abroad for a couple of years, I think the Green brigade have been ethnically wiped from the lower states of the USA, so I forgot about them :) Looks like a chip and intercooler is all we have to look forward to...... Agree about your Ford, I bet it was fun in the...

Thank you, and the most pointless post goes to.....drumroll.....YOU :D Have your other 10k posts been this informative and on topic? Fortunately, I've missed them.

Enthusiasts of LandyZone(.co.uk), has the world gone mad?? I remember a few years ago you could spend a considerable amount of money to buy a bespoke Landy with upgraded V8 and custom trim.....although the cost of these very special vehicles could be questionable to some, others would say...

I must be mad! I just bought one :) This is my second 90 and I love it. I wanted a new one to keep. If you look back at iconic cars, it's the original everyone wants..... I'm sure the new one wil be better in so many ways, but nothing will beat the classic shape and hand built (quality?)...

With the 2007 Defender making it's way into the 21st century with an improved heater and iPod connector, do you think future models will have Xenon as an option? If you were buying a new Defender, would you tick the option box for Xenon if available for £500? I noticed xenon is now...

Anyone seen or driven a 2007 Defender yet? Wondering if I should buy one of the last of the side facing seat 90's or wait for the newer version. I am sure the 6th gear is welcome, but is the new engine better?

Hi, Sorry I haven't visited the site for a while. The colour of my Defender was Oslo Blue. Unfortunately, my Landy had to go as I'm off to Houston for a couple of years, so I can't help you with paint codes etc. Thanks, John

Hi, I want to be able to protect "goodies" in the back of my 90 SW. What's best, Mantec window guards (internal) or the film you can have fitted that makes the glass very hard to break? My concern with the Mantec guards is the amount of rattle you get on and off road, the film may look a bit...

I like the idea work lights going on in reverse and being able to manually switch on if needed...very posh:) Thanks agin for your help

Hi, Anyone out there fitted air suspension to a Defneder? If so, how difficult is it and was it worth while? John

Hi, Thanks for your help, this is what I ended up doing:- Purchased a relay kit and some convoluted tubing. Bolted on the lamp, with a bit of clear mastic between the bracket and the roof upright to avoid any possible water leaks. Ran the wires as you suggested along the rail under and...

....Someone somewhere know's the answer.....I really want to get the drill out the weekend and fit the lamp. If you don't know for sure, an idea would be appreciated :D

...............Thank you all for your comments. I purchased the Safari in the end. It is a little more expensive, but looks much smarter. You need to drill holes in the screen frame, so once a snorkel is fitted, it's a snorkel for life :) . I appreciate your help, if I get a chance to fit it...

Hi Eric, The genuine Land Rover A frame bar will fit a Defender with A/C...I know because I have one :) . If you want to fit a winch bumper and winch, you will need the A frame without the lower cross bar, the part no. in the UK is VUB501740. In the accessories book, the A Frame is shown...
