Another Newbie!!
« on: February 07, 2012, 11:20:26 AM »
Morning folks,

just joined as i am just about to purchase a defender, with any luck??

i currently have a D3, but i have been told that i am not to go off road in it.

Looking for help with it, as it needs two doors and most possibly, lots of other things!! :'(

I will post as many questions as possible  ;D

2 doors in the "for sale" section - be quick, d used ones are like hens teeth and new ones are not cheap !

Good luck.
If its not broken you are not trying hard enough....

Hi cam, yes its all good fun, so I have been told, hopefully picking mine up before the weekend, then I can find out it needs.  Then hopefully, join the club and get out and use it!

Hope to meet up at some point

Hi All,

I'm a newbie too, went onto another bit of the site and didn't see this bit, so here i am.

Hello to everyone else new and old.  I am in need of help though, i am involved in road safety charity that has been donated a defender 110 in need of lots of loving care! repairable but lots of TLC required, not being a mechanic myself or a panel beater or anything like i am in need of help.

As we are a charity we are trying to either raise funds, donated funds, sponsorship etc, i have been in contact with all the usual places, land rover, companies that deal in what we need etc, and am awaiting responses, if anyone here has any further ideas or can offer either sponsorship, donated funds, space close to us to dismantle and rebuild and any other help we would be very grateful.  If donated funds or sponsorship is given it goes without saying that those people would get their details listed on the vehicle as a thank you and be seen at all the events we attend promoting  the charity and what we do, as well as seen whilst we pull the mdu (mobile display unit) which we take to the events, which include, rally events, road safety events, charity events, and events invited to by the emergency services.  Thanks in advance for reading......
