Good discs and pads, replaced my flexi hoses with braided ones at the same time. Replace all fluid (should be done every 3-4 years) bleed using something like the gunnson eazi bleed to eliminate any chance of air in the system

Would have said 5 1/2 inch rims are a bit narrow for 235's. Think the recommended is a 7 inch for 235's

There's usually loads of the Mercedes ones on eBay. Or bottle jack from a discovery will do the trick

Not an engine I am familiar with but on the gearboxes low oil levels could be causing the heat up of everything as the oil will cool as well as lubricate

I have never had a comfort problem in my defender, always been happy with it. That said a discovery is a better car on Tarmac. However if you really want a defender because they are awesome then go for it. They retain there value well so if you do sell it a year later you shouldn't lose much. I...

Nikwax boot wax, very cheap and lasts well

I'm not local so don't know but there was a good landrover garage thread in the freelander section

Never had any problems, if you don't want britpart just make sure you ask them what the other makes they have are

The only thing that bothers my wife about our 110 is the climbing in and out bit. The actual driving she enjoys. Not the easiest to parallel park in a city is her only grumble but she takes the train for that

I took my defender to the alps, didn't take any spares as I was as confident as I could be about everything that was fitted. Having Europe recovery is good piece of mind. I regularly drive mines to my dads in Perth (600 mile round trip) and do t take anything for that either. Just check...

Check the earth cable inside the black rubber tube between the door and frame. Mine looked fine but when I pulled it it snapped. The opening and closing over the years had snapped the core of the wire but not damaged the sheath.

I really am gutted for you mate, as the others said if you have put a any accessories or new parts on it get them off as more than likely dvla/police will come knocking at your door at some point and tow it. Push this right back to the person that sold it to you. If you paid by card then also...
