After buying my defender 4 weeks ago, then doing a 4 weeks stint up north for work, it's finally time to go pick her up I'm like a child at Xmas. I was up and ready to go way to to early 2 n a half hours to go

I know the feeling! I couldn't wait to get my Series 3 earlier in the year! Then couldn't wait to get it on the road

Here's the beast 125 km on the clock from the trip home. Popped into anaconda on the way home and completely missed the car park I was going for, only by half a car width but love it to bits already. Can't wait till the 30th Calidonia river track Wonnangatta then Billy Goats Bluff . Should I be alternating the revs for a bit for the break in?

Nice well done , Yes read your book about running in , Old school dont sit on constant speed.

Nice!
These days you do not need to take things gently when running in.
The advise I was given by many people, as well as the forums, defender2.net, was "Drive it like you stole it"
No problems, as far as I know.
Do keep an eye on the hoses though, especially the intercooler hoses.
