Have you ever had a branch inside a spring?

 

HI TREE yes we have had a branch in a spring in the past mate so im thinking they may be cut by a branch but ok on the road use only thanks jon

[scraggs]

cheers for that, I will get it all ordered tomorrow.

I'm not worried about it being too hard, if the truck isn't loaded it will always have the crane trailer on it which is a bit nose heavy so should be ok.

defender for sale - Land Rover Monthly

 

Pre 91 all 'defenders' were just 'Ninetys' or 'One Tens'. Once the Discovery arrived the Defender brand was launched. Also I think the TDI engine wasnt brought out until '86 (? - If so, good vintage!) so you're looking at a manually aspirated 2.25 Diesel or V8 (check me here boffins)

 

IMO, aim for a 90's 300TDI or decent 200TDI. You're looking at 5k for a decent start. 8k+ for anything later into the 2000's TD5s.

 

Buying guides always crop up in the magazines. Take a hammer, torch and some overalls and get underneath to check thoroughly for rust on the chassis or bulkhead!

 

Enjoy!
