Picked up my first Landy on Saturday a 1999 90 CSW 300 TDI. Spent the last few days cleaning it up took all the seats and carpets out and gave it a thorough polishing on the outside. overall in love with it, a few little niggles but been told it’s a great example overall. current resolution

I’m such a plank but both my interior courtesy lights were broken on my 300 90 CSW and thought a cheap LED upgrade would improve brightness inside. it worked fine for about 30 seconds, then put both of them on in front and back after the upgrade and they went out and discovered fuse 2 blew...

Hi All, So I picked her up yesterday. Still can't stop looking at it lol. There is a few little niggles I need to tidy up over the coming weeks & months. Does anyone know where to find the black rubber cover for the rear boot door handle as mine is missing and is going a little bit rusty. The...

In the end I think i've settled on going for a modern reproduction of the 1986 Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46. This headunit looks the part, but features DAB+, Bluetooth audio for music and phone, and an SD card slot and USB charger. I've never installed a head unit before, all totally new to me. Just...

thanks can’t wait to collect her ha ha

My main concern really was if they see it as a van are they only recognising it as a low spec hard top? Probably pay out much less if I had to make a claim against it

She’s a 1999 one of the last of the 300’s made.

Hi All, Insurance on my current car doesn’t end until March next year (it’s a VW Polo). So I thought great, when I go collect my 90 CSW this weekend I’d just be able to transfer it over as the Polo will be going away. However, I got into a bit of an argument with my current insurer Hastings...

Sorry but I do ha ha lol. Here’s my current hifi setup. I’ve got quite a lot of high end cassette deck models. Some are pretty rare nowadays. I also have about 350 compact cassettes in my collection so plenty to listen to I would love to fit a high end Nakamichi deck, but they still go for a...

Hi all, very new to all this lol, so I hope someone can offer some advice. Deposit paid and I pick up my first Defender (300 TDI, Factory CSW) later this week. It’s still sinking in lol One thing I noticed is the vehicle does have a kind of gaudy looking Pioneer head unit that isn’t really in...

Yes, it's a very late 300TDI one of the last few off the production line apparently? It drove very well and was surprisingly quiet inside, being a factory county wagon. Really excited to collect it and will share some proper photos in due course. :)

yes absolutely collect next weekend. still doesn’t feel real, that I've bought one of my bucket list dream cars lol.

yes, I bought it LOL. Today I also drove a green 300TDI van,( a first for me) but sadly it was just a bit too loud and drony. All previous Landy's I've driven have either been passenger 110's or 90 Wagons, which seem significantly quieter. Iv ended up with a Metallic Red 1999 90 with 300TDI...

I’m taking about the pitting on the engine bay plate concerned it maybe doctored or altered.

Hope someone can help a bit unsure if it could have been tampered with or not looking at the bonnet one or if it’s just pitted? Edit: (Pictures now deleted) Thanks for the help guys

I do have friend of the families who has five of them, a Defender and then a couple of the Series vehicles, but he is always working away as he's a wagon driver and rarley ever home unfortuntley otherwise i'd bring him. As I know its not like any other vehicle really, and they all have their...

Hi all, Finally got my funds together and ready, my current vehicle (Polo GTI) is also going away in the coming weeks too. I've made a quick checklist of problem areas to look out for, just wondered if anyone else had anything to add? Check Rear X Member Check underneath chasis for any type...

Hi all, so have my funds sorted to get one. The top budget is no more than £16K. I'm looking for anyone thinking of selling a Defender 90 in Keswick, Coniston, Grasmere or Epsom green for now, as I think the green ones are the nicest color for a Defender. Preferably a county station wagon and...

Yes I know what road tax is. It actually stands for "vehicle excise duty", but what I'd like is bit of a breakdown on pricing as there is just nothing online with any current up-to-date information on Defenders and the respective tax prices. The only way to find this information is if I had the...

Hi All Been doing insurance quotes over the last few days for various models of Defender 90s, just to see what model is going to be best for me. Weirdly for me, the Hardtop 90 Vans are far more expensive insurance than a Station Wagon. Around £800 to £1000 a year for a 90 Hardtop Van...
