Tax is currently £290 p.a.

Whilst not quite a full service history (it seems to have missed a year in its’ early life), it’s been religiously serviced during my ownership, including intermediate oil changes between regular annual services. All undertaken by my local independent, Challenger 4x4, with the last visit at the beginning of October.

Currently on a private plate but will be changed for a standard age-related one shortly.

All of the usual XS spec including heated windscreen, part leather seats, leather steering wheel, A/C, electric front windows, etc.

Factory fitted chequer plate to sills and wing tops.

I’ve spent a lot of time and effort on a wide range of improvements to this vehicle over the last six years, some of it obvious and some less so. Some of the highlights are listed below but please also take a look at my build thread that goes into a lot more detail, here:

An Anorak's Utility Station Wagon

Spec. changes and improvements include the following:

Boost alloy wheels that were refurbished a couple years ago and colour matched with the bodywork. Fitted with General Grabber AT3 tyres, which have covered about 20k miles and are less than half worn.

BAS 150 remap
BAS uprated intercooler with silicon hoses
Stainless brake hoses
Ashcroft ‘improved’ gearbox output shaft
Ashcroft ATB rear differential
Genuine one-piece rear half shafts
Uprated Gwyn Lewis UJ’s to rear prop-shaft
HD front drive members

Gwyn Lewis galvanised front shock turrets
Galvanised spring seats and clamps
Discovery 2 front spring isolators
Old Man Emu rear spring isolators
Rear springs have been swapped for genuine SW equivalents, providing a more compliant ride.
Gwyn Lewis adjustable A-frame ball joint
Gwyn Lewis Super Pro suspension bushes and hardware

Gwyn Lewis mud shields to rear of front wheel arches and both front and rear of rear wheel arches.

The chassis was Dinitroled by Zagato of this parish about 4 years ago and whilst it could probably do with touching up, is completely solid

Natanenga stainless steel raised air intake

Colour-matched aluminium hinge blocks

Crystal headlights with uprated Philp bulbs
Uprated overlay headlight wiring loom incorporating relays to protect the switches and separate feeds for spotlights (not included). This addition is fully documented with clear wiring diagram.
All new stop/tail/side lights and indicators.

Auxiliary electric circuits feeding rear Wilderness Lighting scene lights, rear internal light and additional power outlets. This addition is fully documented with clear wiring diagram.

Additional interior light over the 2nd row seats.

Mantec rear window guard

Land Rover fire extinguisher on custom made bracket

Raptor glove box
Cubby box extended lid
Ardcase pedal lock and Ardsafe

2 inch rear receiver, which will come with a multi-height towing bracket. It doesn’t include the step in the pictures, which I forgot to remove before taking them!
13 pin towing electrics with socket mounted within rear crossmember recess.

Swingaway spare wheel carrier
Genuine ‘Defender’ wheel cover

Galvanised (and painted) front bumper

A lot of the interior has been sound proofed, with Silentcoat and 6mm foam above the roof lining and on the sides and floor of the rear. All of that area has also been trimmed with carpet. I never got around to completing the rest of the vehicle, mainly because what I have done made such a huge improvement that I never felt the need.

The original tubular side steps were swapped for individual fold up ones, partly because the originals rusted out and partly because the individual ones just work better as steps. Despite my best efforts to protect them though, those have rusted quite badly too. However, all of the hardware, including the special pivot bolts, were changed for stainless equivalents so they’d be an easy refurbishment for somebody with the time to do them.

The wing mirror arms also haven’t faired particularly well but included in the sale will be a pair of newly painted replacements that I haven’t had time to fit.

Whilst not shown in the pictures, also included will be a set of front light guards, for which custom made brackets are fitted to the vehicle that makes them easy to remove.

There are a whole host of other minor bits and pieces that have been improved on so please see the build thread for lots more details. Whilst I don’t tend to go in for expensive cosmetic changes, I have tried to make this vehicle robust and improve on Land Rover’s sometimes questionable quality wherever possible.

£29,500 or nearest offer.

Located in Deepcut, Surrey.

Thanks for looking. Darren

Darren, I can’t believe you’re selling up! After all this time. You will be sorely missed on here. Your excellent write ups on the work done to your Defender and other input has been greatly appreciated by me and I’m sure by many others too. Bow down

What are your vehicle plans for the future?

My immediate plan is a D4 but I also want to get a 90 and run it as a soft top, probably in the spring. I doubt I'll be going anywhere Laughing Darren

Of course, if anybody is looking for one of these and has a 90 in the £10-£15k bracket, then there could be a deal to be done Whistle Darren

Thanks. To be honest, it's generally led a very sheltered life. Darren
