| After smashing my hand in work forcing me to ditch my disco half done i was recently offered a defender for really cheap so i went for it and here it is....  Needs some minor oil cleaning and a service but other than that its good to go.... Basic 2.5td engine, found out today about the oil breather pipe issues with the air box so i have a lot of messy cleaning and re-routing of pipe work ahead. Have a new air filter ready to go in and an extra breather pipe to run under the chassis and leave drip wherever, unless someone has a catchcan going spare. Having an Operation to rebuild my fingers next week so wont be driving for a while, but will make a meeting soon hopefully. | |

| Just happened across it when I took my missus scenic to my nephews to mot it.
Had been brought in for an mot 4 months ago and failed on brakes.
the guy couldn't afford to get it fixed so the garage bought it off him, did the brakes and put an mot on it.
They had it up for sale for 3 grand and I made a silly offer of 2 grand and they said yes.
Needs a fresh set of oils and some molyslip in the gear box other than that I struck lucky.
Taking a while to get used to driving a big tractor again but I cant stop smiling. | |
