Wife doesn't want to know, or even hear about them. Never has.

However, as I am soon to be single again, I'll have to try harder to find a "Defender chick"! Laughing

There are pages and pages of them on Pinterest, with surfboards and bikinis and Hunter wellies and everything. And they're all 100% genuine Defender fans, honest. Whistle Monsieur Le Grenadier

Last BAS hose to go on and she was game to remove the fan, drive belt and water pump. Really is becoming confident with the vehicle. I had a cuppa.

Mrs G drove the 606 to a private car meet

That then got used as a platform.

I guess I could be pursuaded to put up with the bikinis and wellies Shocked as long as they can handle a spanner - and cook.

Not asking much, is it? Whistle

Mine detests anything defender, doesn't mind my D4 but only because it ferries her and the kids about. She cant stand going to shows either and if I mention the words Land Rover, I get the rolling eyes and "for gods sake" just go. Cheers,

Adam

Guessing an OM606.


Or he's named it The Bob and used dodgy registration lingo.

My wife quite likes it but for the life of her can't understand why I chose to drive it. She loathes driving it and I try and avoid situations where she has to.

I can see where she's coming from to be honest.

She loves the Defender (her daily car) and probably she is more enthusiastic than me

Laughing

It's certainly interesting. Having owned tuned td5' and a having the Puma done by IRB, comparing them to this would be a bit silly, this is on a totally different Galaxy.
I'm tidying a few things up on it and then I'll move it on, my days of daily-driving a Defender are coming to an end.

Plus there's lots more I want to do to the v8.

Is that meant to say "cook" or have you got predictive text on? Laughing
