Any horror stories with the bulkhead or body panels found during strip prior to a rebuild?? I have been considering rebuilding my Defender onto a Galv' chassis for a while, mainly so I know exactly what I have, and to give me something to do. However the thought of coming across a rotted out...

After falling completely out of love with my 1996 90 CSW big time September last year, it lived in the garage on and off of a smart charger until 2 weeks ago. For various reasons, mainly my daily driver being jinxed, I want to give the old girl a bit of a spruce up so it's nicer to drive. I'm...

Recently the performance of my 300tdi has been dropping off gradually. It picks up the same as it always has, and if you accelerate smoothly through the rev range it pulls "OK". When I first got it it would quite happily pull up a certain hill at 55 with ease. However it now drops to at least...

When I first got my Defender a couple of years back the bit of sound proofing on the bulkhead around the pedals required wedging back into place about once a month. Over time it has gradually got more and more frequent, and at the moment it drops to this position pretty much every journey...

Noticed today that there is some oil running down the exhaust manifold side of my 300Tdi, so whipped the cover off the top as it was coming from in between the inlet manifold and rocker cover. Uncovered this, and didn't get a picture but the foam on the underside of the sound insulation is wet...

Afternoon all, have had the Land Rover 14 months now and never replaced the batteries in either of the key fobs. Think it may be time to replace one of them at least but the owners manual in the vehicle doesn't mention anything about the alarm and bits. The owners manual I've downloaded which...

So I've had a bit of a thing for Defenders for about 2 or 3 years. I live in a tiny Village in Dorset and occasionally get flooded in, sometimes snowed in, and see the local farmers just plodding through 12-18 inches of water no worries. So a bit of an impulse buy this one, dangerous I know...

Hello all, I'm Nick, general petrol head love all things on wheels with engines, always been into fast hatches and the likes, but of the last year or so I've just got bored of my modified 2009 Focus ST and taken a strange fancy to a defender for some reason. I purchased a '96 defender 300tdi...
