Got one!

Managed to find one to replace my Defender!

Was aiming for a good low mileage one in a dark colour but ended up up with a silver one with high miles that needs work done, but it was cheap.

Pics to follow next week when i pick it up.

Thanks for all the welcoming replies!

I work part time fixing land rovers (mostly TD5 stuff but i get the odd D3 through the workshop too) so i know my way round them fairly well.

As for the first fault, its already got it which is why its cheap. Its the suspension compressor but ive got a new one as part of the deal buying it.
