My New DCPU 2007 Puma
Hi team

My first foray into Defender territory. I’ve always wanted one and life worked out that I could now.

I have a strange car history
Alfa Spider
Fiesta
Fiesta
Fiesta ST-3
Aston Martin Vantage
This Defender

Didn’t have the Aston long, the fear of big bills meant I couldn’t get any joy from anything but washing it, moved to the middle of nowhere and got trapped by floods and decided to be sensible and buy a 15 year old Land Rover.

So, the Defender.

I am its 4th owner, it’s done 70,000 miles and needs a few bits doing, but I imagine that’s constant. Has had a few fairly standard upgrades but the standout is the Exmoor Trim seats which are a game changer.

The wheels are fancy, and we’re advertised as Twisted Nemesis. So, anyone got any idea what they are out of those choices? How would I tell?

First jobs are the rocker cover gasket and serpentine belt which is driving me mad.

Probably should post some photos.

Very nice. Bit of a 180 from a Vantage. My previous car to my defender, whilst not in the same league as your Aston, was an Audi S5 with the 4.2 V8.

Been a little while since I’ve updated this! Basically just after I bought it.

I’ve done quite a few jobs to get it up to scratch.

The boost pipe went pop on a dual carriageway, then waited 6 hours to be rescued.

Had a stage 1 remap, ordered some new wheels and tyres, changes the steering wheel so I can turn right with the window closed, soundproofed everything apart from the roof, sealed it underneath, added steps, added JW Speaker headlight (love these), taken the back seat brackets out so it’s more comfortable in the back. Added a cubby, under cubby storage, fixed the speakers, actually bolted in the passenger seatbelt, repainted the bed.

Before I owned a Land Rover I hadn’t done much more to a car than top up the screen wash.

Love this thing.

Photos of it being put to work, cleaned and then broken. Bonus Bowler I saw in the wild.

I spoke to my Land Rover specialist and he suggested lannoguard, that’s what he used for his collection of land rovers.

What I did was ignore that, and use waxoyl.

The Lannoguard was very sheepy!

Don’t see that many living as long as defenders!

I presume all the sheep have had the lanolin squeezed out of them by now.

Maybe I should try mint sauce, much prefer the smell.

He was allowed in the Aston, but only in the frunk of the F430 (not mine).
