OK, im new here, and new to Landies too.. (even though im old) ! but i tried a new thing this week! Had dried out, Grey and Crispy wheel arches... Checked the price of new ones? (OUCH!) Tried "Turtle Wax Back-to-Black"... Too far gone....Useless ! Tried Cherry Blossom boot polish in the...

Treated my dried out, grey and crispy wheel arches with Baby OIl... the look like bloomin new ! Awesome home dodge... Pennies cost...? NONE!

Indeed, between visits to Salem and her regular coven nights, she is quite creative in her activities.. she has been known to use a Christmas tree during the festive season....A bit wiffy in the hotter weather, but we hose her down once a week so it's livable. .!

Naah, not this MIL, the Air rifle will be just to get their attention, she'll then finish the job by giving them a pull through with her broom stick .. She's from Basildon you know ! !

Thank Col, that's a comment i really needed to hear... Me and the DS are in agreement that the 'plain jane' look is what we like about it most.. It's not a "Rig"...no bullbars, winch or clutter.. just the simple straight lines. I think it may be lifted slightly, and the boots are obviously...

Thank you for the kind welcome Y'all, im hearing a fair bit about Landies being popular with the Tea Leaves... perhaps ill have to get the Mother-in-law an air rifle and sit her on sentry in the drive.. it's not cold over night this time of year and the old love likes the fresh air..!

Ha ha... So not just me then..lol When we took it for a test drive, it was hysterical, it was parked on a yard, so no curb, with a knee under he chin she was still 6 inches short of reaching the sill... so i had to lift her in...a hand on each cheek, very undignified lol

Don't we always sell the vehicles we should have kept.. i do it all the time with bikes..! Rear cross member looks mint, must be a new one (that's the one under the tail gate like a rear bumper right? told you im a numpty noob!!) And the bulkhead has only some light rust marks, no scabs or...

Seems i can't post images yet, working on it though... Thanks again for your welcome.

Hi Steve. Thanks for your welcome, this looks like an amazing forum, so many friendly people. Obviously being an'88 truck it isn't a factory 200tdi, the dealer said it was recently fully rebuilt, and shed loads spent on it. looking at the engine i think it's from a Discovery as it has the turbo...

OK, kinda late to the party here, bucket list purchase... Never had a Landy in my life, always wanted one, so before im too old and past it, i had a hunt round and found the perfect truck for me at a local classic car dealer. It's a 1988 Defender 90 Pick Up, with a 200 TDi, got stacks of...
