Hi Ben
congratulations on the new Defender. I changed from a Subaru RB320 for my first Defender so I know how you feel 
I've never felt happier than when behind the wheel of a Defender Your not mad but a little sick maybe 
have a great time and enjoy

maybe worth putting a cable tie though the shackle pin eyes , you don't want the shackle pin working loose and the shackle bouncing down the road behind you

I never thought i would see this as a subject title!
Im currently waiting to transfer from a hot hatch into a Defender and im wondering how i'll find the change in road manners! but if you're happy from a gt86, this gives me more comfort! any particular LED lights youre going for? im considering changing the rear brake lights on mine |

The move has been great i did enjoy the gt86 just need to remember that i can't go as hard into corners but the defender is going to more practical for me for towing and the family plus will try a few forest tracks for fun and i still have my mk1 escort for a bit of sideways fun the leds i have ordered are from flat dog.com [URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL][/img] Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated |
