Got a 110 Defender 1997 300tdi. Had to have a new galv chassis 11yrs ago as original has perished. Not a blemish on that new chassis. Can’t say the same for all 5 doors though. 2nd row doors have almost disintegrated now, and with the cost of brand new replacements it’s going to be very expensive. I’m going series doors which are 1/2 cost of new defender doors. More space throughout as no window winding mechanism to bulk out the doors. It’s done 238,000 miles and still going well. Real workhorse but has no comfort for distance work. New seats or replacement sponges which again cost a packet. No ABS or air con but it’s ok for UK. It’s a 20yr on going project and that’s ok as do all work myself. I went mad a few years with a major upgrade and had a radio with a cd player.

Series doors look so good too, great that they’re cheaper. 300tdi engines are robust, I’ve seen a. Few with 400k miles on. They’re just fun to work on and play with aren’t t they 😬

@@AirbornePirates Series doors do look great don’t they 👍🏻 I know some Landie purists will be shouting sacrilege but it’s a work horse and meant to be easy to fix. The 300tdi is the last of the real DIY engines before all the electronic stuff arrived but it’s a great piece of kit. Having had Landies for nearly 40yrs I have to admit the Fun bit working on them is a like my hair nowadays. Non existent 😂

Mate, what a beauty! I had a Land Rover Defender. Mine was an ex Aus army Series 3 soft-top troopie. Not a luxury in sight! Had to double clutch it from 2nd into 3rd and I could tell when the spare tyre on the bonnet was low cause it would start bouncing around against the tie-downs. It had electrical gremlins so sometimes when I hit the high beams I'd lose ALL the lights; headlights, tail lights, dash lights! Ah, good times.

Love the Gucci kit and now I’ve got more to add to my kit list. On the roof top tent, I was going that route but changed my mind and went with a Haven safari hammock instead. Really comfortable. Very quickly to take down and put up, cheaper even if buying 4 (depending on tent choice) and more flexible. Just throwing a suggestion out there.

Brilliant - mine is a 2002 TD5. I bought it in 2004 when there was around 18k on the clock, it's now at 99k. It's taken a beating, although I don't go off road, I use it for tip runs etc. and I played in a band for around 12-years and carried my gear in it. Yours is looking Ace, not too much bling just tasteful upgrades. I think it'd look good with a Snorkel and like you say rock-sliders, other than that I can't think of much. I'm not sure if yours leaks around the door-seals, mine does so that's one thing I'll be doing. The other thing maybe a heater upgrade, as they take for ever to warm up, although I generally drive with the window open no matter what the weather is doing. I think the Galvanised chassis is a must for you, especially as you are obviously near the sea. I had thought about a roof tent, but I may opt for one of those Dutch Army Surplus ones that you've just reviewed - I really like the look of them! I am hoping to get up to Scotland too maybe this year or next, some places I want to revisit including Loch Ness (I may even swim in there again!). But yes, one you're bitten by the Landy Bug, your done for. I'm on my third and wouldn't rule out another before I'm much older! Take Care and keep the videos coming!!

Very nice! Curious, how do you like the rear view video display vs a standard mirror, does it take some getting used to? And how is it at night? Since you asked, if it were mine the only thing I’d do is swap out the BFG tires. In a place where you deal with wet roads as often as you do, they’re not a great choice. I would throw on some Falken Wildpeak AT4W tires, they’re WAY better in the wet than BFG. And they’re still a Fantastic AT tire.
