How much will it affect your future premiums though Sad


At my age and location I live I’m not too worried Adam, I view it as getting back some of the monies I have paid in premiums over the years Rolling with laughter insurance is there incase you need it and with that sort of quote I need it Rolling with laughter



Lol very true. Regards

Clayton life without defenders would be very mundane and boring, imagine no repair bills, no complaining, no having to justify extra toys to put on it but most of all no smiles when you drive it Thumbs Up 2015 HT XS 90

Here's a nice picture of some debris:


Click image to enlarge

It used to be the metal sill that supports the edge of the floor and the end of the seatbox.

The bits that aren't rusty steel are oxidised aluminium from where the seatbox side has rotted away. The seatbelt mount came with it. Evil or Very Mad


Needless to say, a large parcel from YRM Metal Solutions arrived today......


(Maybe we should have a "Show Us Your Defender Debris" thread. Shocked )

Dropped my Defender in for MOT, service and warranty work at the main dealer this morning, nice 68 plate automatic Evoque as a loan car for the week, I do like an automatic box, so a week of luxury before back to the defender Rolling with laughter can’t wait to have mine back already, isn’t it funny as owners we don’t moan at times about our defenders but we wouldn’t be without them, less than 12 hrs and I’m getting withdrawal already.

On Monday SWMBO takes hers in for an insurance respray claim for a week, so no Defenders for us for a week, she has requested a Ford Fiesta as a loan car!! This could go one of two ways either a Defender for sale if she like the fiesta or hopefully I do miss my Defender conversation next week Rolling with laughter 2015 HT XS 90

Yesterday;
Removed the winch to be sent off for a service/check up due to odd noises when winching out.

Today;
Removed the lower hinge on the drivers door as the pin had worn. While I was at it, attempted to adjust how the door sits. The lines on the hips where out. Still out now, but much closer.

Got fed up looking at the scabby chequer plate sill covers, so removed them so I can drop them off for blasting and coating. 50% of the bolts needed drilling out due to rust. These will be replaced by stainless ones.

The passenger side foot well floor mat was looking a bit grubby, so popped it in the washing machine while Mrs Exscossack is in work .... Shhhhh 1999 Defender TD5 110

Oh yeah, that would be great!!

Strangely enough we had a load of snow on Sunday... 2 days old and it's now certainly 'used'.








i'm selling my Montesa 4RT if anybody's interested.
