Is the price with Vat included typical for the model?

Sometimes, poorly fitting brake shoes jam or bind when the wheel is rotated backwards. If the LH rear was like that it push drive to the other wheel. Possibly just a binding brake in general?

Hahahaha You're having a baby and worrying about what to buy in 5yrs time to take it to school??? That's some planning, I'll give you that. Don't worry, the baby has plans for you too.

One of the Landrover mags did it as a project, looked straightforward, I think the sticky points are fabricating bulkhead and tub mounts off the chassis, and the steering column (used defender parts possibly).

LHD is fun, especially if you can get a dog to sit in the drivers seat.

DVLA won't tell you ( at least not easily/legitimately), I did it by asking a motor trader, they have pro HPI accounts that give them reg from VIN, consumer ones don't do that. It's hardly the worlds biggest secret as all modern vehicles have vin in the windscreen for anyone to see and match...

A Defender IS a Series Land Rover! Range Rover axles and Coil springs maybe but a Series 4 in all but name. Even the doors are interchangeable with a 50's series 2. Construction and Design are the same, same elbow room...

I don't think there's any 'exact' value for a 24 yr old vehicle, it's going to be about who is looking for it that particular time and the condition. I'd say less than a diesel of similar age and condition. A brand new MOT for a vehicle that old would be the best thing for getting the best...

At that age, I should think condition is the main deciding factor in value, what's it like?

Its not like a normal car buying exercise, the youngest is going to be 50 years old. Buy according to condition and your abilities / wallet size to sort out what's required. A good one will be £££££ and a poor one ££ + £££? to make good. I think the one that feels best to drive (if that's...

Don't know if defender is the same but some series chassis have handbrake mounts both sides, so the lever can go in passenger footwell.

Does this light have a focused lens at the front to make a powerful beam? You may find an LED lamp ruins it as the light doesn't originate from where the original filament did, you'll get a light, but with weird fringes and dark/light spots like a fan, enough to annoy you at the least. LED...

There's going to be srs and horn stuff wiring near the stalks so its possible, maybe check you've not dislodged something. I had 2 reversing bulbs blow at the same time before, don't discount that.

Do you really want a wood floor surface in the back? Have you thought of a tough vinyl floor like Altro Contrax glued onto exterior ply floor or the original floor if it's in good nick...

3.5kva is just over 2000Watts or 9 amps at the usual assumed power factor of 0.6. Look for the rating in Watts on the compressor. It would power one of this size...

If you've never seen the ARonline site, prepare to disappear for a couple of weeks and and come back with severely rose tinted misty eyes after you've read all the car development and history stories of AR/Leyland/BMC etc etc products. Here's the P38A story...

Crikey, when an aftermarket company has to make a replacement body panel you know you've made some ugly ****e!

Who the feck approved the New Discovery offset number plate?? Now, I know I'm a bit late to the party with this and it's probably been discussed but only saw it with my own eyes this week. It's awful, I was following one on the motorway and had to look away after a while cos it was making me...

Striker plate on the tub?

Its just a square of ally, a local metal supply will cut a bit to size for you, might be easier than delivery too.
