    Looking to recondition a Defender

    Too true, people shouldn't be blasé about something that has had time and money put into it.

    How much have you spent restoring your Series?

    Insurance for a defender is not as bad as everyone says, pre licence mine is £800 a year, but afterwards about £900-1000 which in the grander scale of 17yr old insurance is actually pretty good...

    Looking to recondition a Defender

    Back to the topic at hand, best thing to do is get your details out to a few nearby dealers, I know a few around you strangely, if you do wish to chat about it properly then after the exams eh, and yes get one with a good chassis or prepare to factor that into the costs, tools and consumables...

    series 2a bulkhead and chassis

    For a fresh galv bulkhead try Ashtree intl or Samara intl. Have heard only pod things about them, they manufacture lots of galvanised goodies.

    Ok brilliant sounds good, I found a similar thing on exmoor trim that is exactly as you said, it retails for £7.08 so a good deal. I shall order some and fit them. Thanks for the advice

    Defender soft top

    Hi all, I have at the moment a full tilt and as the summer approaches it's being taken off however the windscreen rail is bolted down clamping the tilt and it takes an age to loosen it enough. I have heard there are quick release style devices available. Do you guys have any thoughts on what's...

    Screen Rail

    Hi all, i am thinking of changing the current soft top which is rather leaky to a new 3 in 1 from Exmoor Trim, however they specify that this hood will only work with the new TD5 style screen rail, my defender is a 1986 90 so definitely wont comply, anyway of making it work???

    Stolen again!

    Well ratty I bloody hope u don't get bored and turn to the criminal world.... For the rest of these lowly thieves I think this device should work, the won't know it's there till it's too late and they can't put it into gear because the clutch pedal won't come up... :) or I could fit it to the...

    Stolen 1991 Defender 90

    Something effective I saw recently was the Mech Lock, it's sold by Mud Stuff, it's a valve that is fitted into the clutch system, it locks the clutch open so it cannot be closed making it impossible to drive off unless they knew before hand that u had it, it's completely mechanical and also as...

    More expensive though and if I want to upgrade to beadlock then it provides an easy upgrade route

    Terrafirma Alloys

    Guys does anyone have any thoughts on these wheels? 1986 90" NATO Green full tilt

    Stolen again!

    Buy the Mech Lock system and fit a tracker, the Mech lock disables the clutch mechanically and unless they can refit some piping and bleed the clutch they can't drive it away, then fit a tracker in case they use a crane

    Whats an Autobiography? No one can seem to tell me?

    HSE & Vogue differ, the HSE, was a lower spec than the Vogue models, mostly differ in the interior an badge, again the extras list was longer and nicer

    Whats an Autobiography? No one can seem to tell me?

    They had many more options available when new, if you need then I'm sure your dealer can fish out the spec sheet, it should still be hanging around, but unless it was specified with options, trim or colours/engine choice etc that were not available on other models then you have yes only...
