Why is it that everybody I talk to tells me that they could open my defender with various items (screwdriver, spoon, 10p, big toenail and so on) and how easy it is to steal, yet the actual key will work about one day a month and only when I'm not in a hurry at all? Should I just start carrying...

Ok I'll check that

Yep it's a genuine apple cable and adaptor so that shouldn't be a problem. And my point is it works perfectly in other cars it's just when I'm the landy I get this message and I can't work out why

My iphone doesn't seem to want to charge from the ciggy charger in my defender using a usb cable and 12v adaptor. It's definatly not the cable because the same set up works in the transit and my old fiesta. However in the landy it charges for no more than a few seconds before displaying 'this...

I'm 20 and have just bought my first landy - a heavily modified defender (winch, snorkel, lift etc). I tried all the specialist 4x4 insurers and the cheapest I had was £1800 from A/F and most refused to even quote. I was about to give up when I gave Admiral (who I insure my fiesta with) a bell...

I'm looking at getting a defender and after finding one I liked (1994 defender 90) I compared insurance quotes before making an offer on it, and I'm glad I did... Because it is a three seater with no rear windows, I understand it is classed as a commercial vehicle. This means that due to my age...

Nah that's no problem I'm only 20 myself! Haha

Thanks Nevets, I lt may we'll be a 100% legit firm and I don't want to make assumptions but I'm glad someone else has also noticed this. I'm under no pressure to buy in a hurry so I will definitely wait for the right car to turn up. I'm hoping to get to Peterborough in September but I would...

I've been looking for a decent defender in the region of £5k now and have found a few on autotrader + eBay from Motodrome. They're based in Berkshire and specialise in 4x4s but all of the defenders I've looked at seem to have something iffy about them. Most are advertised as having an estimated...

Hi, I'm Joe, I'm 20 and a tree surgeon from Surrey. I don't currently own a landy but have had a love affair with defenders since I was a kid. I'm now looking at getting one and thought I'd better sign up here for some moral support! Look forward to talking to you all!

Thanks guys, definitely not going to be getting a freelander! I've looked into insurance and been quoted pretty much what I'm paying on my 1.2 fiesta now so that shouldn't be a problem. And Turboman I spotted that as soon as I posted this.. Whoops!

Right this is my first post so be easy on me! My names Joe, I'm 20 and I'm desperate to get my first landy! If I'm honest I have very little mechanical knowledge but I do want to learn. I would be using it daily to get to work (about 15 miles) so I will need it to run reliably, and I don't...
