thats the crazy world we live in now, in the older times things were simpler and a screwdriver, hammer and prob some tape anything could be fixed.
Is there no aftermarket pattern parts available? Or have they now got to the stage its not worth even aftermarket making parts for these cars Maybe my age but its only a 30 year old car? Searching for my first Defender...and started just as Covid hit, so talk about timing. 5 months after starting the search I found it, and here is the details |

my pal has had the HP pump tested and its brown bread. Its not generation the pressure to start the engine, so another one is on order, nearly £400 all in timing belt etc.

my pal just needs to order the remaining odds and sods, and come down and help me get this back on the road, for the 1st time this year
![]() ![]() Once this is up and running, i am going to see if i can get the original wheels balanced, and get those sorted and back on the car. the front tyres have seen better days now. ![]() insurance is practically 200 quid to insure, which is peanuts now for this, its now a practical classic car, the lads on the forum years ago never thought these would never get old, but yep they do Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it! |

well she is back up and running again, after a little water leak, due to a failing housing, Age related sadly.
Took a couple of hours to swop due to hose clips failing, and her running all week with out any bother, 1st time she had some miles on this year ![]() Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it! |

in the next few months this will be mams daily driver, they are putting their landy in for a chassis and body work revamp. my plans of sorting the bodywork has gone on hold again.

I have decided to revert the wheels back to a standard XSI wheel, when i get the car back, I cannot invest in a wheel that no tyre place can balance, So i have bought a set of four and i am looking at getting a matching spare. I am going to get them refurbed then tyres on. I have just bought a few bits to service the brakes on it, pads have been on for 4 years now, and god knows what crap discs have been put on it, for the MOT. I am also saving now to get the bodywork sorted, and i think i will get it in for a clutch and speedo sensor. When it comes back to me, they are going on about the speedo, and i am like, well i cannot do
