Back at home - all seems good

After a short visit to Dorset all seems good with the defender, however there are a few problems which have arisen:

  • Fuel indicator - put a full tank of petrol in it (poor wallet) and the fuel gauge went mental! 
  • Oil leak - had a poke around underneath and found a minor leak which will need to be sorted
  • Leak - as predicted the sun roof leaks, only slightly. However the bulk head repair does a fantastic job of directing water into the passenger side cabin.
Leaning more towards picking up a second hand bulkhead off ebay and fittign that.

Also picked up some wheels for £75 for all for 4! Bargin.

The current tyres are smaller than the ones fitted to the steels, but these will be taken off and replaced with some proper off road rubber.

I have also Modified and fitted a new security device for the Defender. (Green thing)

This I have been told is the first Ardcase lock box to be fitted to a V8 Defender, hence the modification that was needed.
