    Is that the standard height (I know it has bigger wheels) on a defender

    If so, I think my 2001 has sagged ...

    Does anyone have the correct height from the centre of hub to arch on a 2001 , 110 ?

    A 2003 TDi, that would confuse a few people!

    Noice. Imagine having that pile of boxes delivered and building up your own, great fun.

    Yanks go all gooey over Landys, must be something to do with being British and the Queen and all that stiff upper lip stuff, and John Cleese, or Mr Bean Looks good!

    Even tho' this is from nearly fours ago, the 'fender must be just about the last complete car you can get in a box (or boxes).

    Wonder what it cost as a CKD item?

    Be kinda cool buying a brand new Landy, then putting it together in your shed.

    Would certainly give my retired ex farmer neighbours something to do... and to chat about at bowls...

    (The kids would have a great cubby house from all the wooden boxes).

    The reason they were going to do the defender in CKD form was to get past the air-bag laws in the US. As a CKD pack it was classed as a "kit car" and so didn't require air-bags.
