Thats Just Dirty Talk :p...serious
Good choice. Some people are just not ment to aspire to Defender ownership. Best to find your place now, down with the Disco owners, or even lower with the toyota owners. A Defender is not a mere car, but a way of life. You have chosen not to join the brotherhood, and as such no one will wave at you ever again...............................
;):D;):p:p:p;):D;)
Well yep, it was overheating on the drive home the day I bought it(250k's drive), I kept it to 90k's which kept temp to an OK level, any faster and up went the temp needle.Back to the dealer twice, they said nothing wrong.Took it to an independant dealer who took one look at the radiator, chock a block full of mud...they billed the dealer who sold me the defender $900- to clean it up and sort it out, and the selling dealer paid up.
I'm guessing the car had been caught in a Kimberley type muddy flood or something like that....I reckon it had been overheated then sold...and the head just hung in there for a while...my fault, should have checked it out more thoroughly but with 20k on the clock... well I made a bad assumption...
PUSSY....that decsion was quick.....
To buy a good Defender Takes time and patience, they come on the market in dribs and drabs and you have to be quick, 97-early 99 ones was my choice..
The only money I have spent on it really was of my own choosing apart from a busted axle of which I was to blame.
Once you have one there is no going back unlike the "sheep" drivers of Japense copies, buy a Toyota, then a Patrol then back again..
It takes a certain kind of person to own/love a Defender...I'm glad you filtered yourself out....
Only Kidding...buy a bloody Defender you Pussy and stop mucking about;)
Um, I tested that theory yesterday - the Defender owner waved back at me, and smiled!!! Looks like it made his day, probably took his mind off the Defenders 'B' pillar digging in his shoulder :angel: I still think they are the most attractive 4x4 ever invented!
He, he, he...
