So the new Defender is going to be more expensive than the Discovery? Can't see current Defender owners, old and new, queueing up to buy one. As I have posted on here before I don't think JLR want the off road/utility/farmer business any more. Their push into the expensive life...

Just got my new agreed valuation certificate from Flux £5500

1994 Land Rover Defender 300tdi Hard Top 131k miles. MOT Sept 2016. Good all round condition. Freestyle alloy wheels with A/T tyres. 2 spares Steering guard. Rock sliders. Snorkel. Heavy duty front bumper. Light bar with 4 Spots. Air inlet scoop. La Salle full headlining. Cubby box. Rear...

I think the main problem is that there seems to be no attempt at rust proofing at all, the coating on a new defenders chassis is just transport black, the stuff used to protect steel before its painted properly. Considering how much they cost and how much extra it would be to galvanise them from...

That's the one I fitted in mine. I fitted two 1" square lengths of wood to each side of the base of the cubby and then screwed through the gearbox cover plate into them. Makes the thing sit at the right height and makes fitting easy.

Any body want to make an offer for mine, (no offers of coconut or coffee chocolate will be considered)

As for your price I would say "priced to sell" I've been looking at the rising prices of Defenders recently and it seems £3k buys you a "Project" with no MOT and a lot of work.

I think all the later series and earlier coil sprungs up to the td5 are the same pumas may be different though, mine came from Paddocks and its fine I can't see spending more would get something better unless you fancy an aluminium one.

So, I finally got round to sorting my insurance this afternoon. Goodbye Lancasters and hello Adrian Flux, fully comp' with an agreed valuation £145, I thank you.....

The flat central flange looks slightly odd.

We keep being told "The famous 4x4's fate was sealed by European laws on safety and emissions" Not sure I believe it, Jeep continue to produce the wrangler which has an even longer history than the Defender. Merc' are still making the G Waggon which has a similar design. I'm sure if JLR wanted...

What he said.... the little tool from paddocks makes the changing the drop arm ball joint dead easy. (Todays interesting but pointless fact......"Pitman Arm" is the proper name for the arm that comes off the steering box)

Last year was £200 that's why I was so shocked.

Cheapo air impact guns are rubbish, I have the same kind of setup as you and I've tried (bought?) a few cheapo ones and they wouldn't undo anything remotely tight, then I borrowed an Ingersol Rand gun and that was a whole world away, that did what I expected.

Got my insurance renewal from Lancasters this morning £340.....HOW MUCH..... A 70% increase that's how much. Same vehicle, same drivers, same circumstances, nothing's changed since last year. Can't see Lancasters getting my business this year.

When I do brakes I usually use Pagid stuff from Eurocarparts. Sensible prices and a lot of manufacturers use Pagid for original fitment, never had a problem with them.

HOW MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds to me like you don't have the O ring located properly.

Bin the original and get a LaSalle headliner I fitted one to a S111 a few years ago and I've put one in my current 90. http://www.lasalle-trim.co.uk/welcome

On the 200 the pulley comes off separately from the boss that goes through the oil seal in the outer cam belt drive case, the 300tdi its in one piece .
