Based on my own experiences with a Defender 90, fit a darn good imobilser or other security. Mine went right off the drive overnight. Truly heart breaking, but its not just the loss of the vehicle, if you're anything like me its all the handy odds and ends inside it too!

Enjoy the landy, they are the best!

Congrats on becoming a landy owner.Lucky you're into bushcraft 'cos at least you should have lots of warm clothing,gloves ,hats for those winter journeys where it takes time for the heater to kick in......
what engine u got? petrol /diesel? tdi? td5? v8?
As a bushcrafter you probably already know the "only one knife?"/ backup / backup of backup syndrome.Are you aware that it also applies to landrovers?

have fun with it, mate! I have a Defender 90 300 TDI

All the best,

Penvisser

Keep on top of the service, change the oil every 6000 miles etc.

www.lr4x4.com is the best forum by quite some way IMHO.

 

[pentrekeeper]

Well heres my 90, unfortunately as it's our third vehicle I have had to take it off the road as we can't afford to run three, so it's confined to its natural environment.

The only advice I can give is to keep saving your pennies because it will definately eat them.

Hello Fast But Dim

here's a useful site, it's got the workshop manuals free to down load............

http://www.landrover.ee/est/varia/downloads/cars.htm

or try:-

http://green-oval.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=13&Itemid=29

this second site has full landrover manuals including spare parts id etc.. but they're huge files (approx 5000mb!!) well worth it though if you've got the time to download.

I've got a TD5 disco and love it to bits! great cars and great fun too

Have you noticed how all the landy owners is offering advice on spares and repairs? That would worry me a bit.

 

[JDO330]

A very good place for info is defo www.difflock.com, usually very quick replies to post and generally very useful info although you do get the odd wally from time to time.

As said before, maintenance is key and also a fat wallet.

Enjoy!

ATB, Jon.
