I had the same thing with the 83. The 87 I bought was too good to pass up so I bought it, more comfy and generally a bettter vehicle than the 83.

Good luck with it.

Hi Trav,
Off subject a bit but have you been able to sort out the engine on the new beast yet :?:

Yep, going well and running like a 3.5 EFI Rangie should.

Still a slug, but as long as it kick arse off-road I don't care

Maxi go in Feb 6th, tyres not long after and that's it for a while, will be even more broke than before

Tanks for asking.

thanks guys yes it is the goods , reason for off loading the rangie has nothing to do with economy cause its on gas and petrol .


but call me sad if you want but ive always wanted a defender after owning a few series rovers the look sticks and this was at the right price .

i was looking foward to going away this weekend i have 4 days off but all those fires buggered that idea plus 40 degree heat , not the type of weather to be in the bush

ill just have to wait for easter i have 12 days off , wonangatta is looking real good from the dargo end

It's Blue!!!


Good to see another colour every now and then.

Looks great rangieman


Just one question tho, what are the two boxes and leads to the left of the center panel on the dash for :?:
