1988 Defender 90 V8 Petrol CSW Rimini Red

Thanks - more to come from the HBRO TYRO last week - an ignition module failure meant I was slightly wound up and came last...... 90 V8 CSW - 1988

Well the TYRO didn't go well - I shared the bus with my son, a friend and his son. I went first on almost all the sections and they learned from my mistakes.

My own ego aside it was an excellent day out and I highly recommend getting stuck in with something like this. Non-damaging and better than just driving round in mud on a pay and play. 90 V8 CSW - 1988

Boring mundane stuff these days. The bus is getting used for a variety of tasks, the first being a turf carrying truck to help with the garden.

Then I finally got round to fixing the leaking radiator - well didn't actually fix it, just replaced it.

Challenger 4x4 in Aldershot did me a superb price on a new rad so it was a no-brainer just to swap.

great stuff there! What are these like compared to the diesel counter parts?
Are they just as eco and just as powerful? Also what are spares like for the engines? Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Smoother than a diesel and nicer noise, but different to drive from the torque of the engine.

Spares - haven't had any issues, but then I've only had it for a year now. 90 V8 CSW - 1988
