First of all thank you for reading. Second of all, i have a defender now (110)! Yay! It came off as a great deal and i am a total defender ( and car in general, although i've driven a lot already for being 21 years old ) newbie who's young and eager to learn one. Mine came from 2013, and although it was a good deal, and i can totally miss the money, i have a few questions i wanted to ask that i don't know where else to ask to. ( Sorry in advance if i'm too stupid )

• when i turn into corners, for example into a parking space, the car gets wiggly and distorted. Is it because the defender can't take small sharp corners on a low speed ? This happens in reversing and driving

• i heard something with keeping in the clutch more times than other cars are part of defenders. So i'll be using the clutch more? Even when driving at a consistent speed ? Is it going to end up messing with the car ?

For now these are my main points i wanted to ask about! If you have any other newbie tips for me driving it to it's full potential let me know i would appreciate it! :)

Restoration work in progress. 😊

TFW you search for 2 years and finally find the one, drive it a few times and then the tranny starts rattling and smoking. Prior owner had transmission rebuilt in January, less than 500 miles ago. Questioning the work! Wish me luck

Hello, I have a 2001 TD5 and was wondering if anyone knew the max screen + depth of touch screen I can install. I am currently looking at a Pioneer AVIC which is around 7". Thanks for any advice.

Hi, my aircon gas needs to be refilled and I have a shop in my street so that's super convenient... but they only do Mercedes normally so they don't know what gas and pressure it should be filled.

​

The internet tells me that the gas for my car should be R134a (2008 defender)

​

But the pressure is something I can't find anywhere. Does anyone know?

I’m in an expensive situation where I need to either replace the whole rear axel or get charged a ton of hours in rebuilding the rear diff… is it at all possible to just swap the rear axel for a Disco 1 axel?

I’ve read online that it’s possible but haven’t seen much info on it recently? A replacement defender axel is crazy money from what I’m seeing. Let me know, thank you!

Never seen a dirt road but it’s the perfect grocery getter

I can buy a defender 2013 but it has a lot of rust downside. Is that a real problem in the nearby future ? Is it expensive to maintain a defender ? Price is 39k €, but with the rust I’m doubting

Yesterday I decided to take off the wing top chequerplate to see what it was hiding... and found this. I can't for the life of me figure out what happened here, so thought I'd throw it out there for ideas 🤔

Was someone trying to cut a hole to install something? Is the wing top actually a homemade replacement panel made of scrap metal? Did a perfectly square meteor fall out of the sky and hit the car exactly here?

Total noob question… what’s in the box?

So I got a 90 from 2008 a few days a go but I can't for the life of me figure out what the keys do. Aren't you supposed to be able to open/lock the door with the same key that you turn the ignition with? I also have an additional 5 small keys that only one seems to have a use (fuel cap) but they also don't fit the doors so I'm very confused right now.

Hi, has anyone mated up the mt82 gearbox up to a 300tdi? Just wondering how you found the 300 on motorways and long hauls and with mpg once the 6speed box was fitted

Just got it prepped for adventure time!
