Nice truck .. got all the bits you could want on one without going overboard .. I wish him luck .. why is he selling ?

**spudboy** · 19th March 2008, 08:27 AM

I think he's got a Disco now.

Oh of course, I thought Blue Mountains sounded familiar, but couldn't believe on of US would sell a Defender.

Yeah, got a TDI disco. completely different vehicle but as always happens plans in life change and the vehicle doesn't suit my purpose any more. Pity because it took a long time to get right and a hell of a lot of money but I'm pleased it is running so well and I spent 2 grand on it after I knew I was going to sell it but I wanted to get it perfect.

I tell ya what it needs is a cargo barrier and a those stratos seats back in it, lol. Driving it with the original seats in it is..... well... not so nice. I took them out to barter with my mechanic so things wouldn't cost me so much. silly me!

Xavie,

As I am about to do the reverse....Disco Tdi to Defender.

I am sure that you will not regret the decision as the Disco is a nice unit....horses for courses...I agonised over mine.

If I'd known about your selling the Defender you might have had a sale by now....nice rig btw.

Nice rig Xavie..if only I had the money!! Hope she sells quickly for you.

Is the headlining sagging already?

How good are the Stratos seats? Are the underseat bits still usable?

Jeff

Thanks for all the support! Had quite a few enquiries and some weird calls also but I won't go into them!

The headlining does sag, lol, no it doesn't! the roof console holds it up

I already bought the Disco and it's a nice unit. Completely different from a Defender of course but it will serve what I need to do and that's the most important thing. I do miss waving though so I still do it and just expect no response though I have been surprised so far.

And Jeff, the Stratos seats make all the difference. I put the regular black ones back in and now find the vehicle uncomfortable compared to before I thought it was a nice comfy rig. You can still use under the seat but you need to undo 4 wing nuts. As I never felt the urge to always be under the seat 4 wing nuts is nothing. The seats were around$800 each and frankly was the best $800(x2) I spent on the vehicle. You also are perched higher so see more over the bonnet and my legs were at a more comfortable angle. And the pump up back rest was way fancy.

God I'm going to miss it,
Xavier
