New Defender
Well, here is my new Defender at last! 90XS with premium seats, audio upgrade, privacy glass, towpack and fully fitted carpet. I have never owned one before, but so far it has been nothing but fun! Thanks to all on this forum for the technical help. Bow down Bow down I have already carried out the Dinitrol application myself (much easier than I thought) and now looking at security, headlamp wiring loom, additional usb etc.... Thumbs Up

Hi lookes identical to mine except mine has a silver roof......the chuffed feeling lasts for weeks...but the fear of theft will kick in around about now! then the Censored that rusts quickly sensation will come around easter ..........................but the stupid grin will last a lifetime through breakdowns, leaks and servicing costs.


when you dinatrolled did you notice surface rust on the welds of the chassis or was it just mine!

Ah! Yes, I have already got the security worries! And no doubt in the not too distant future it will probably leak something or other! Laughing But I have learnt all this over the past year on the forum, so hopefully not too much of a shock!

I didn't see any rust on the chassis that was obvious. A few bolts were showing signs and some of the steering linkage ..... But I have drowned it with cavity wax and external dinitrol. Should hold it back for a few months! Shocked Shocked

strangely, I didn't see any rust on the insides of the holes on the rear cross member. The chassis jig at the factory locates into those holes and sometimes causes a scratch or mark. This of course then rusts! I have seen quite a few new defenders with those marks. A visit to the factory back in January made that an obvious issue.

Great looking 90 Thumbs Up

Looks like you already have specced the usual options, now time to make it your own! Or just leave it as is and enjoy it and grow into it for a while before you start modifying it too far!
