Paul223 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Decided to upgrade the disco to a defender, took a while to find one with the correct for me millage in the right price bracket that wasn't in either kent or Inverness What do you think? Looks a bit bare without a bulbar so suppose that'll be the first addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatherandSon Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 WTFlippin heck is that? That's no defender, it's not even a santana!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatherandSon Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Ha ha I get it, it drives backwards! Rear end is too low so engine may be in the back, fuel filler had been moved to the new back and the door hinges are now on the new front! I want to vomit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatherandSon Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Na it side a landy specialistThey cant be that special. The door wont open then as theres hinges on the front and back of the door. The air intake is at the rear when the engine is at the front. The side repeaters are at the back and theres no bumper and the fuel filler is at the front!! Which specialist is it at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatherandSon Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I call your bluff. Thats a Defender Yachting edition!! Photoshop!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 That is clever the top pointing one way and the bottom pointing in the opposite direction It took me a while to get it in the end it was the fuel filler that did it for me. On another point why would anyone buy a white 4x4 white and mud do not go together I get the white van thing like a London taxi if you do something wrong they can never be traced finding one black taxi in a city full of black taxis not simple.

Paul223 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Sorry couldn't resist when I came across the pic, however in all honesty if did buy a defender at the weekend, hence the reason for having an eBay list of things to buy So what do you reckon to the dukes of hazard upgrade, it'd save striker plate issues when closing the door and would enhance security no end, all I'd have to do is wire the elecy windows to the central locking! I'll do some pics of the real thing later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
