That was after a brisk and fairly heavy footed drive home, all the proper noises engaged, proper smile mode. The only other related part that hasn't been changed is the water pump. Well not by me but it is newish. The seller said it was recently replaced. I'm wondering if its that at fault, not...

I bought this 110 V8 a few months back with the intention of using it and during the next year, returning it to full working order, while still in use. I have another car so it's not totally relied on for transport. Right, to the problem. The dash had a nasty aftermarket guage in it There's an...

Snap-On tools Tools storage unit/tool box/roll cab. For sale in its entirety, I will not split and sell its component parts individually. All 3 keys are still with the tool box and all operate correctly. All the drawer runners were cleaned and greased about 2 years ago but being roller bearing...

**Now included in the sale is a full length galanised roof rack.** Galanised? What the hell is that? I clearly meant galvanised.

just in case anyone is interested, I am going to be looking for a series 2 when my Defender sells so... If anyone is considering coming the other way then please let me know what you have by way of a part exchange. There are a few things the series two must have. It must be one with the...

All done and back with me for a good few weeks now. The difference is quite staggering. I know the proper offroaders will sneer and poke fun but I have no solid intention of going proper offroading, where it belongs It is now able to get to relatively quickly and maintain 70+ mph without any...

Not during the hours I get there :( I get a great sense of calm and reassurance with E H Douglas, like nothing would shake them. Trust is the key I think. I do have a terrible memory though and I can't for the life of me remember the cost of each trinket...damn.

**UPDATE** It's been in with E H Douglas in Wardington for a few weeks now and this morning I went the the body shop they use (lucky he's a chum of mine) to see the paintwork and finish of the welds. Well I know the paintwork would be good, he knows me and my requirements. All good and...

Well that's that. I've booked it in for the repair to be carried out, saving me a good few thousand. I think I'll put some of what I've saved towards some sort of Defender based trinket.

I had a similar headlight issue a while back that was eventually traced to the simplest of issues. I spent too long over complicating the issue (as usual) looking for all the big things. I bought a new light switch, dip main switch, checked that dim dip relay thing, which had already been...

Sense, plain speaking and experience. Thank you. I sort of know the V8 thing was and is folly but it's just the idea of having that great big lump up front and I'm not thinking sensibly about the long term issues that may appear. Not just regarding the V8 and it's thirst but the chassis issues...

Ah, the £3k ish was to get my TD5 done (bulkhead). The £9k has been spent recommisioning the V8 I've seen in an advert.

The £9k has already been spent on it, 2 years ago.

Damn, you sound like my wife, good friends and all the sensible people I know that I've mentioned this too ;) Where are the V8 loonies to convince me otherwise :) No, I know. The TD5 is good and can be fixed, either with panels or new galvanised BH. I'm just getting twitchy.

I agree but I can't change the fact that this amount has been spenton thoseitems. I don't know at this stage if it's even a good understanding now. I'm just scouting to see if a swap from the TD5 to 'a' V8 is worth considering. It may be this one or another that may pop up in the near future...

The £9k was spent recommisioning it after being sat for a while. Chassis repairs, wheels, brakes etc. He has al the bills and what not... Hold up. Copy and paste - built front dumb irons (frame number not touched and still readable) and replacement bumper, Replace both front outriggers with...
