My 90 - X4CAC
Hi all,

Just a quick note to say hello from your newest member - so new that I don't have a defender just yet.... hopefully it'll be all sorted by the weekend Laughing

I'll apologise now for being a bit of a novice, although not new to the brand but this is my first defender. I'm also unashamedly happy to admit that I will be turning my new car into a chelsea tractor, hopefully not a cow pat in sight... although I do need a certain amount of 4x4 capabilities where I live.

So I will be picking your brains for recommended parts/sellers and instructions.

So it's a hello from me, looking forward to my latest little adventure Very Happy

This is what I will be starting with...

Yep she's absolutely mint, only 11k on the clock. The nicest one I could find before the price basically doubled.

Now enjoying reading all the threads about security hinges Big Cry

It'll probably be quicker to list what I haven't got planned Laughing

I think straight off the bat it'll be privacy glass, black kbx grille and vents, black wheels... weighing up nemesis/twisted/sawtooth options
Chequer plates to the lower sills, undecided about the bonnet
Sound proofing
Security and ICE
Re-mapping

I'll probably then try and leave for her a bit to see how we get on together, I don't want to impulse buy too much too soon. Part of the fun for me is doing my research and then sourcing the parts. I also get very bored very quickly with cars so want to try and take my time over this one.

Most of the early mods I expect to be pretty cosmetic so I'm happy to take advice and comments from the peanut gallery on other required mods Thumbs Up

As everyone loves a good piccie or two here's my LR family... and I'm avoiding working Wink

This is what I am getting rid of... most boring car I've ever owned, can't wait to see the back of it! (Apparently we don't always know what we want in life) Laughing

And this was my first LR - loved this car, had great fun playing around with it... was nothing much I could do it by the time she left... she only went because of the lovely video LR took on it's last service and showed me all the oil leaks Rolling Eyes

You sold the Freelander because of oil leaks and you've bought a Defender Whistle

Welcome nonetheless, enjoy the upgrades. Looks like you have a sold idea of what you are after. And no worries about making it a smarter, we're a very non judgmental forum, as long as you haven't got a Khan Big Cry Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....
