Hi Mike, I've seen a lot of negative comments on the site regarding Vortex exhausts; personally I think a lot of the guys just post comments without considering anything but wanted to offer the chance for some imperical evidence. I have an old defender with a blown exhaust which is in...

Yep - TMHM has it right , just want to make legit - basically bought it from a kid in the trade who always drove it on trade insurance and never got stopped because he lived in the middle of nowhere yorkshire, if half of it's nicked he'd be increably dumb to sell it on having taken me to his...

Hello Guys, Not looking good from your first thoughts then! - Was originally a 1988 Land Rover, 4 cylinder 2286cc diesel - says first registered 1975 on the V5. The guys taken out the original engine, gear box and springs and put in Range Rover bits instead, Chassis done at a later...

Hi All, Totally new to this world of Landys; on an impulse I've bought a Defender off ebay but having taken it to Challenger they've highlighted that the chassis and body and engine don't match (knew about the new engine not the body)... They said it's fairly common and that it might have to...
