Got my Parrot MKi9200 hands free fitted last night along with replacing bulbs on the dash.

Off with the rusty bumper and a galv replacement fitted, give the chassis a bit of paint when I had the chance.

The small Alu grill on the front was oxidising so I used a small wire wheel to clean and polish.

Matching mud flaps on the rear again, that would bug me if left ;0)

Fresh oil, and filters today.

Getting there..... 130 TDCI High Capacity Pick up

Here's one I found searching with "DB202091". There have been others as well, I'm sure. Thumbs Up

Got a moment today to get a photo at work, getting a wash last night helped highlight the small dents in the hardtop side panels, hopefully I can find a replacement set.

I've the new bumper fitted, some new interior door handles and a padded chubby box lid. Starting to take shape. 285 BFG's AT's ordered.

Still to fit a additional reverse lamp and a Dixon drop plate.

On the hunt now for a front nudge bar.

A bit of work done thanks to the good weather and the late evenings.

Reverse light switch changed out on the gearbox.

New bulbs fitted where needed behind the dash including the hazard switch.

Chassis cleaned for a coat of waxoil this week.

On site this week and thankful for a Defender, even though I've been driving them for 20 years, on the motorway they aren't the most fuel efficient or comfortable, but they pay dividends off road.

Speaking about comfort commuting, fitted some J& K Paradesign door handles, no more dead legs, well impressed.

Another wash and polish, starting to hide some of the scares from the previous owner...

New tyres this week along with wheel spacers, looking forward to it. 130 TDCI High Capacity Pick up

Just picked this up on the weekend and I'm delighted, a 2011 110 XS Utility.

It's by no means perfect and already has character from previous owners but I will enjoy giving it some TLC and getting it looking really smart.

After driving home over 550 miles, the 2.4 runs very well part from a intermittent wine from the turbo, possible bearing. The vehicle needs a good service.

A good wash and polish. Chassis will be getting some TLC and paint.

Rear drivers door lock doesn't work so I'll be out with the multi meter.

The bumper needs replacing, rusty, so either a new shiny black one or a galv.

The hard top side have plenty of little dimples in them from careless loading, which I was going to see if I could get repaired by paintless or it's new panels.

The Nas step will be coming off and replaced either with a multi height standard hitch or the P&P option in the picture if rated to tow the weight.

New rear door card needed and some additional storage for the rear.

Extra lights for reversing and some more light up front so mud console for a few extra switches.

I'm sure the list will grow but looking forward to it.

It may just be me getting it wrong but aren't the 2 photos of different vehicles? The first photo looks like a DCPU as it looks like a drop down tailgate and the cut out on the mudflap isn't there on the second photo. The vehicles also have different rear lights and no chequer plate on the first photo. (I was always good at spot the difference Wink )

The NAS rear step is also different to mine in the tow ball mounting area - mine has a single flat plate there running across the vehicle (parallel with the crossmember)
