I think the long nose Defender is the one that you tell people you have, but you really own a Daewoo, the condition is known as Pinnochioism.;)

I think long nose refers to 2001 plus models with extended grill (past headlights)

Mine is a 2004, stock intercooler.

I have 2004 model with stock intercooler with AC and long nose.

"Long nose" means with AC, isn't?

2003 Defender 90 with long nose and factory A/C.

Stock intercooler at the moment… But am considering going to an upgraded intercooler. Will get the ECU done first and then see if I need the extra performance. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

2002, Factory air. Am thinking about the Intercooler upgrade. But everytime I save some $$$ Mrs TP decides she needs:nazilock: , or the kids needs:nazilock: :nazilock: are more important, and guess who misses out:( :( .......................not them. Have been doing a few little cashies of late though and have managed to hide a few $$ So could happen soon.

I think Tombraider was asking the question so that he can give us all a "HUGE" discount if we run a stock intercooler. :D

What do you say Mike, bulk AULRO purchase? :twisted:

OK Guys....

Find me TEN confirmed orders and we'll do it!!!

Around $950-1000.00 is about the best they can be. The cores alone kill the price... However, give me 2 weeks and I may have something better.

2003 "Bignose", with stock 'cooler......price looks very inviting, especially after I just had a quote of aprox $2.4K from a local LR specialist for theirs Fitted.........

How long can you hold the offer for?? Something I want to do but with school going back next week, have got the boys school fees for the term to fork out. Will keep it in mind though.

2001 short nose
Mod chipped (Bruce Davis Wild)
Bigger intercooler
Auto conversion

OK Intercooler, radiator, grill, inlet manifold are in the shed with the injectors, and anything else that bolts onto the head. Sump is also off at the moment so there is heaps of room under the hood.
