South Africa 2007 Defender 110 300 Tdi SW Chawton White
Sorry I forgot about the second question.

Washing the chassis by hand took about 3 hours. Light sanding and paint touch up also about 3 hours.

Applying the dinitrol maybe less than 3 hours. This was inside of chassis, underside of vehicle, inside all cross members, inside firewall and engine bay.

This is an existing clients, I have done his TDCi a couple of times from new but he has always craved a white TDi 110 with the dream of driving to Cape Town with his son. After my emphasis on buying the best you can and take your time to avoid the rotten money pits he has bought this after three years of hunting. Very Happy He wants to learn how to look after and maintain it so we are going to work on it together whilst he learns the skills and builds up his own tools Cool

A really great find, chassis is superb Thumbs Up


Hi Zagato - You mentioned in this monster of a thread (and a great one!) that you had a few jap imports. I don't suppose you have any incoming Discovery2s, from Hirohito territory?! Tried to PM you but can't until I have posted more, and I thought better of posting a few viagra adverts to get my allowance up Very Happy

Sorry, I meant start your own thread, so more people will see it. Go to "New Topic" in the "Off Topic" section (as not Defender related) or "Wanted" section and title it "Wanted - Japanese Import Discovery2" or something and hopefully people will respond. Good luck Thumbs Up James

A few notable Defenders. Sorry to all those I did not take a pic of...

A Crown Prince's '90' personal toy for when he is in the country which I have done from new, is mint despite being offroaded and has done 13,000 miles (one of the best in the country for sure).

A 110 from the Sierra Leone mines, didn,t find any diamonds Confused

A very nice one owner, 2007 TD5, 44K miles which is just used but is coming into the realms of becoming a classic, sought after vehicle in my mind as it is untouched as it came out of the box! Apart from those side steps.

Something different, now a very happy GT3 owner... 180K miles this thing, was very good underneath, finished in clear coat to show it 😉

Merc and Supra Cool

Another example in the back ground, bought new and has just been seriously used and abused BUT done its job well. I can't help thinking that these Defenders are not just works vans anymore, especially for the price they are commanding. I would garage the lot with cotton wool Laughing

Hi all, would anyone be able to recommend a clear protective surface spray I could put over the outside of sticker equipped fox remote Res shocks to prevent the reservoir hoses from corroding and the nuts from going also? I'd like to coat them invisibly to protect.
