Hi Fran I've just joined. I've just bought a 1980 Series 3 ex army soft top petrol 5 bearing in England. I'm an expat Brit living in Cork. Haven't imported the vehicle yet but soon will. Not much wrong with it that a paint job won't cure.

Hey sorry once again I've just got so little time at the min. Welcome to the group and don't worry we'll not hold the fact that you have a freelancer against you.

Hi there from West Cork; currently have Freelander TD4 but changing to Series very soon. Always had landies - SIIA; 90's; TD5; changed to Freelander but miss the character of the old bone shakers; especially on West Cork roads.

Hi all, I'm from Ballymoney, have a beautiful old rusty 110 defender and a TD4 2006 hippo. Anything happening in county Antrim?

We were off roading in Newry today at North East Adventures. Great track!

How's she cutting lads I'm up in Antrim... I'm steering a l322 td6

Howdy folks. Just after getting a 02 td5 90 in Wicklow. Great to see a few fellow country men here.

Hello from truly stunning West Cork - there's a guy at Caheragh - David - who specialises in Defender's. Don Donovan recommended him to me as he is now focusing on newer models. I have a 94 300tdi 110 - needs work on the clutch. Chatted on the phone and he is 'sound'; will let you know how expensive in a couple of weeks as having it done sometime after Easter week as he has grand-kids over next week. Cyril at Beara is now semi-retired and focusing on vintage cars and landies. Not familiar with Series 1 but he has two in his yard; an old RAF and trad green - was amazed to see the trad green had 6 gear-sticks and a cut out section under the pedals??????
