Wow they've given it some pain in the few months they've been using it as demo!

We used to have a 110 just like that, a G reg County Station Wagon TD. Probably one of the worst engines Land Rover have ever made - it spent more time in bits than anywhere else. It was still loved though. 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green

I spent an entire ten hours just to change the following:
Rear anti-roll bar saddle rubbers,
Rear shock absorber upper bushes,
Brake pads.
Ten hours.
Really made me stop and think that it's time to call it a day with the Defender.
At ten years old even the simplest job means an hour or two of hacking, bashing, cutting, sawing, grinding, drilling and generally smashing f*** out of it just to get the thing apart.
Then the brake caliper pistons refused to retract, again due to horrendous corrosion, so now I'm not even sure the brakes are that effective since the new pads are so firmly wedged in I doubt they move. Brake pedal now feels spongey too where it was rock solid previously. And bleeding isn't an option as the bleed screws are all corroded and seized (obviously).
I used to enjoy spannering the Landy but I just can't be arsed even trying to sort it out any more as I know even the smallest job will end up being a fight.
If it had sat in a field for the last ten years I'd feel less off, but it hasn't, and as it is it's just one bloody thing
after another

So to sumerise;

You have a love hate relationship with your defender, and yesterday was the hate part! So you spent 10 hours flogging it!


And she'll love you for it  Russell
