Thread: What purchases have you made for your Defender lately?

A tube of translucent waterproof gutter silicone to seal up some water leaks. Next time we get heavy rain I'll learn if it worked.

I WAS! going to buy a new CFX75 Waeco. I have got 14 years out of my old CF80 until it sprung an internal gas leak on the evap coil. It's only lasting 5 days before losing half it's charge. Then I got the wife and daughters hotel bill from a stay in Italy Now it looks like I will be topping it up for the foreseeable future me thinks!

More Carbuilders sound deadening sheets, Optomil security bonnet hinges and a slick shift kit.

I was given a pair of these yellow things, so had to buy a pair of these red things to control the yellow things

So to be honest I think you're just trolling as no one would ever put up with 4 years of BS from a workshop and the only course of action being complaining about it on a forum? why not actually do something about it or take it somewhere else?

Pics and details or it never happened..

Yes it does seem fishy

I rest my case....

Finally fitted my bonnet mount spare wheel kit to the 300Tdi project. It was not quite as challenging as it at first appeared. One problem I have noticed the rims while steel are not standard width so I have had to use a couple of short lengths of pipe to be able to tighten the retaining plate to ensure there is no movement of the wheel on the bonnet. I plan to move back to standard rims at some point budget permitting. It came with 265/75 16 (I think). Anyone have a set of standard 16in rims they no longer require?
