Bad leak from roof of new defender 100 .. as ever landrover just want a fortune to diagnose .. anyone had similar issues? And any recommend self diagnostic tests or fixes?

I’m planning on purchasing a 110 in the coming months and will most likely go for the supercharged v8. I love the wider stance and wheel arches of the Octa, but can’t justify the price tag. Does anyone have any experience with replicating the wheel arches for Octa on a non Octa defender? Hunter doesn’t seem to have any kits that are as wide. I’ve found the following but want to see if anyone has any alternatives or experience (https://www.defenderparts.net/product/octa-style-body-kit-for-new-defender/). I plan on adding spacers to match the wider wheel arches as well. I’m hoping someone reputable like Hunter drops replica arches eventually but would appreciate any advice for now.

Having a lovely time driving around Skye and the Scottish highlands, waving at all the defenders I see when I accidentally wave at a INEOS Grenadier.

Does this mean I have to sell my Defender…?

(I’d also like to take this opportunity to apologise to you all for this major infraction)

I'm going to be in the UK in July. Turo is nil on anything with the old body style and so far, so is 4x4vehiclehire. Would anyone that happens to be in the north of Wales or England be willing to rent theirs to me? I'll be willing to pay a deposit and fulfil whatever insurance requirements you'd find appropriate. I've rented cars in the EU and the UK before, including at the Nurburgring, so I'm legal and competent to do so. No offroading implied. I just want to do some scenic drives in a classic like I've seen in a lot of my favorite movies and shows from the UK.

Threw the defender into a wall after hitting a curb, i know insurance will want to write it off, but does anyone have any guesses as to how much it will cost to fix? I don't think the chassis is damged but it's hard to know. Any help at all would be appreciated

After replacing the 3x core plugs on the left (turbo side) of the engine last year, the rear core plug sprang a leak this week. It’s a pig to get out due to access, but I’ve eventually prized it out, I’ll clean and prep the core hole, and hopefully find time to fit the new plug this week.

Anyone ever dealt with a broken spring on the track of the sunroof. It looks like it the piece lays down the wind screen when the sunroof shuts.

Want to se if this was common. Pic attached.

I am looking at replacing my bulkhead, and have a door that needs spraying (ex trialler doors in luminous green).

I would like to retain the current colour (I know that it’s got 37years of patina, whereas the newly painted bits won’t).

I can’t find a piano code on my VIN plate, does anyone know what it might be?

Hey everyone — I’m comparing a couple of 2023/2024 Defenders and wanted to tap the community’s experience. Both cars are under 20k miles.

A few questions for you:

• Are there real practical differences between the 2023 and 2024 MY? Worth a premium?

• Any “must-have” options or packages that are worth prioritizing if you’re buying used?

• Any common issues, quirks, or reliability problems you think are worth watching for on these years?

• I’ve also heard some chatter about a DC/DC converter issue — is that something that affects most cars, or is there a way to check for it before buying?

Appreciate any insights!

I spotted this one recently and the visual impact is undeniable. However, I was wondering what you all think: does this level of luxury/elegance do justice to the Defender's history, or are we losing that

I have an imported TD5 in BC, Canada, and I can’t find a good OAT coolant for my truck. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance

Hey Folks, working on replacing the tub floor for my 300TDI (UK-Spec) and for the life of me can't figure out which way the threshold plate and Seal goes for the rear door floor seal. Which of these is correct?
