Slomofo 300tdi 90

Latest in the series of ‘what have you gone and done now’ adventures….

A 230k miles ‘98 300tdi County 90

No locks, scabby paint, crap wheels and tyres, but ‘last of the line’ and unmolested. Only has a NAS rear bumper and ladder to nowhere that’s non standard.
Solid chassis, no rot or holes
Massive oil leak from the rocker cover that has coated everything below.
Epic death wobble at 55

1. Steam Clean
2. See what’s left
3. Spanner’s out!

And when winter gets here you will have wet bollacks from the leaky sunroof!

I didn’t think you could be without a defender for long

Looks good!

There’s always some fun and apprehension in poking around a new Landy for the first time...

Ooh look what I’ve found…..



It’s one of those vents that shoots cold air/water up your right ankle when trundling. Factory fit I believe…..

Very nice keep the pics coming

Oh, that's very unfortunate. Hope you have it fixed soon.

Thought that sounded ambitious for any landrover, at least it looks like fairly easy places to repair.
