    Oh what a feeling - Defender....

    After three years in the wilderness (sort of as I owned a Disco in between) I am back in a Defender. I have been looking for over six months, i tossed up the idea of a brand new vehicle... couldn't fit it into budget, but i found exactly what i was looking for... A 2006 TD5, which is a blank canvas. I pick it up on the weekend and can't wait to be behind the wheels again.

    Any thoughts on first mod??

    ECU upgrade?

    oil pump bolt
    remove EGR + silicon hose the intercooler

    then fix whats clunky/creaky

    then go you're mods.

    leave the suspension and tyres alone (well get rubber to suit your needs in the stock size when its appropriate)
