So when we going to set a date for this? Need something to focus on :D

Its 5 mins from J1 off the A14. Very easy to find and nice guys there. Plenty of help on hand:D

Ha ha so is that a "get them" or a "dont really need them" :crazy_driver: I think i'll keep an eye on ebay for cheap ones and not just rush out and buy some tomorrow then :D

I have done a quick search with no luck. Someone said today that they can bend easy and i should pick some up. Are they worth doing? And will others fit like disco or early defenders? I have a 92 defender 90 Thanks

First time off roading today and i loved it. It was dry but didnt mind for my first time. Managed to snap a half shaft :( but a nice local JCB servicing and breakdowns got it swapped and back on the road for £60:D Had a camara on the dash so i'll have a look at the footage later. But here is a...

Cant beat a walk around the scrap yard. Dont get up there a lot. But something about the smell and the dirty slippy floor that i like :D My old wheels are now on eBay, but dont think i can post a link to it on here can i? thought i read somewhere it would get deleted?

Popped in there today for a started motor for a SJ, and found 5 defender wheels with all good tyre and 1 brand new tyre. I've just bought a set of the wella 8 spoke with mud tyres on so these will be good for everyday and i can now sell the crap steel wheels:D Oh and i paid £90 for all 5 and...

I'm up for this. Just ordered my snorkel today, so be good to test it out in the ford :D

That would be great. I dont mind a little drive for a good day out. I'll have a look in them threads now. I'll be up for a drive:D

What insurance company you with? I valued my 1992 90 at £4000 as its all stock when i picked it up. Adding to it as i go. How i see it is that insurance companys will pay out what they say book price is worth and if you have proof of value of the extras they will make a offer on them. I...

This tread was started back in 2009, So its been a while sins that night i'm guessing lol Well i'm from coventry as well, have a 93 defender and my brother has a 87 Suzuki sj. I'm looking for locals to go laning with :D

29yrs old with 9 years no claims. New insurance is £389 fully comp:)

The answer is YES, every little detail will change the price. I have just had a quote from my insurance from a 1988 defender van with 3 seats to a 1993 van with 5 seats. They wanted £275 more:eek: so thats cancled. Best thing to do is go on a compare site and use reg numbers of cars for sale...

Good luck with the sale mate. Looks nice;)

Left the house (coventry) for spalding at 8am to see a G plate defender 90. Defender was a bag of crap that needed a rear axel as it was about to fall of lol, it had so much play and banged and rattled. Plus it was guttless. Left spalding for Liverpool. Got there and he wouldnt let me test drive...
