My New Toy: Land Rover Defender 90

28th July 2013

By Tim Trott

After several years of gentle nagging by my Land Rover obsessed brother in law, I finally gave in and decided to get one of my own. After a day looking around, he found me this lovely example which I have just bought!

I needed a new vehicle to replace my BMW which is heavy on fuel, expensive to insure and with it being an excellent example of the classic E30 318is (baby M3) model I think it's better to store off road in a secure location.

This is my 2006 Land Rover Defender 90 County Station Wagon in Zermatt Silver. There is a bit of rust on the side steps, and a bit of plastic is missing from the bumper. That's pretty much all we could find wrong with her - not bad for a Land Rover!

She is in desperate need of a service as the oil hasn't been changed in a long time, and I'll have her in for a full service, complete fluid change, grease and an inspection, that way I know exactly when everything is done and needs doing again.

Land Rover Defender Disklok Storage

I've always used Disklok's as part of my car security, and the Defender is no exception, but I can't just tuck it in behind the seat anymore... it tends to move around quite a bit and is always out of arms reach when I need to refit it!
