Had an excuse to dress up the Defender for a local event and went all-in on the vintage luggage. I thought the final setup looked too good not to share. Removed the event branding since this post is really about the truck and roof-rack arrangement.
Introducing my first Defender, a 2007 110 Puma. Absolutely love it so far.
Clearly I should not be left unsupervised with adult money.
This is the 3rd pair this year. Ripped by this lovely door thingy....
Any suggestions to avoid this?
As the title says, I'm stuck removing the nut from the washer spindle.
I need to take the nut off so the spindle can slide out.
It turns both ways but won't come off.
There are 2 washer looking things to the right that are preventing it from coming off. I can't see a way to remove them bar an angle grinder.....which I'm getting tempted with.
I do have a new spindle to damaging it isn't a concern
Hey everyone, selling my 110 atm. Got it up on eBay atm too if you want to take a look.
Over two years ago, I hired CJ International to rebuild a 1999 TD5 from the ground up, matching all original numbers, with a fully rebuilt engine and a complete chassis restoration, including a modern automatic transmission. The build quality is off the charts. The truck is now in the US, has fully cleared customs, and is being registered. Unfortunately, between the build starting and now, my financial and personal situation has changed significantly, and before I fall in love with it, I am going to sell it.
Literally everything has been rebuilt, including the engine, down to the block. All new everything else. The dashboard cluster is original, as is the AC.
The truck is in the Fort Lauderdale, FL area and is currently at British 4WD getting a full checkup to make sure there are no issues whatsoever. I drove it there from the boat when it arrived, and I have to say it was the best driving 110.
If interested, DM me. Asking $120k. Serious offers will be considered.
Its a Td5 from 2005. The Noise is so fucking loud…? I think it is the rotor filter. But this is crazy in my opinion. What do you think?
Hey everyone,
I was chasing a noise in the engine bay and traced it to the alternator. I took the overrunning pulley apart and found the bearing has seized up/galled, with scoring and rust-colored residue visible (see photo).
Now the alternator itself also sounds a bit rough (see videos). Should I replace just the pulley, or is it smarter to replace the whole alternator while I'm at it? I'm worried the internal bearings are on their way out too.
If you're interested, PM me and I'll send you details (in German).
I know it's a vague question and ultimately all depends on how it's been treated but I'm wanting to purchase my first defender sometime in the near future and wanted an idea on what is considered a respectable mileage on old defenders? Is 100,000 normal unlike other vehicles?
I'm honestly so sick of this POS app. Just out for a walk and get a notification I didn't lock my defender. So clearly I have a connection. So I attempt to lock it and get repeated failures. Both the car and I have plenty of coverage. I'm at the point where I'm ready to get rid of the car all together now that we are paying $3\litre for diesel and after spending $160k they can't even make a f*cking app that works.
I have a Defender 110 Ex ambulance, believed to be St John’s
It’s come with a FAIREY PTO winch build in tavistock. I’ve been unable to find any data sheets/manuals online for it. Leaver on the front is seized & i haven’t installed the prop shaft and it’s currently untested.
What i’m trying to find is, Online manuals, What’s it worth, Are they any good & is it worth selling or fixing?

I’m just after any tips or product restoration suggestions for anyone that’s attempted to rejuvenate a weathered Soft "A" Frame Protection Bar like the one pictured.
Mines looking pretty dry, busy still in 1 piece with no visible crackers etc.
Google has suggested I apply this Solution Finish - Black Trim Restorer
Does anyone have any experience with this product and how much of it I’d need to get the whole bar done?
Appreciate any and all feedback!
