    Any Brisbane Northsiders wanna listen to my Defender?

    Hey guys, I've got a few odd noises coming outta my '93 200Tdi Defender, a bit of smoke, a few rattles, a few clunks and bangs etc...

    My problem is, I don't really (yet) have much experience with a beat-up old Defender - perhaps all of this is perfectly normal, I just don't know! I don't want to waste time fixing things that ain't broke, but then I don't wanna drive her around until some very expensive part goes up in smoke. And suffice it to say, the only thing I trust my local LR mechanic to do is to empty my bank account .

    Is there anyone in Brisbane (northside would be great!) who has a fair bit of experience, who can just drive her around for a while and tell me what's normal and what's not? Your help would get you a case of your favourite brew...

    p.s. if not, is there a mechanic about who I can trust not to BS me?

    Second that. Take it to MR and get them to go over it.

    I also believe Dave (aka Black Knight) will make house calls?

    Thanks for the welcome guys!

    Well, Bracken Ridge is pretty close, thanks Weeds, I might take you up on that, just to get started - will get in touch to sort out the details.
