Reply With QuoteWelcome and by the sounds of it you should not have to spend money on kitting the vehicle out but a recovery kit might be a good thing to buy.
This is a good vehicle to work on and you will get a heap of info off this site.

Hi all, my names Peter and im a 17 yr old long time lurker and Land rover nut.
Well what a exciting and nerve-racking Saturday!! I travelled up to Gosford to pick up my 1st ever car AND Land rover!!
It is a 1994 Land Rover Defender Wagon with 220 000kms on the clock, fully rebuilt 300tdi motor, Rear Maxi Drives, 31'' HT tyres(One day I will get some 33'' muddies :P), UHF radio, ARB Bullbar, driving lights and Warn winch, long range fuel tank, recaro seats(I think i havent taken the sheepskin covers off) new wheelbearings, timingbelt recently done, and regular oil changes. It has hardly been off road and driven far. The gearbox is tight, the engine purs and it has the typical landrover clunk(Posible A frame ball joint).
I dont think I have ever been so excited or nervous in my life, handing over $9500 is a pretty big thing for me (Now I have no money) as well as having the huge responsibilty of owning a car!!
There is one oil leak from the Vacuum pump, it looks as if it has been taken apart because it is no longer riveted but bolted. Could it be the gasket or the welsh plug?? It is leaking from the little circular part too. Help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Pete

Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comWelcome aboard, Pete. You have a car that will never go out of style so you can keep it for a long time.
Not only that, unlike your mates, you won't have to inch over speed humps in shopping centres nor will you need to weave to get over them!
Most of us here are nice (except me).

Bringing back memories for me........I was 18 when I got my first L/R.
You will have a ball, just don't ever sell it......that'll be a lifetime of regret.
AT REST
Pete, good to meet you last night (it's not often another defender pulls up opposite your home). Like I said last night it looks a good unit you've managed to pick up, just keep the maintenance up, clean oil, fuel and air and it should go on for ever. Grab a copy of the RAVE cd or let Ian know you want one
Good thing is defenders are fairly easy to work on (although you will skin a few knuckles along the way) doing work yourself makes it much easier if you have a problem in the bush, at least you know where things are.
The place for parts is Karcraft at Silverwater when you eventually need some.

Cheers
