| It looks ok to me, but what do I know. Maybe it needed a new servo and someone scrapped the old one and the plate, maybe not realising it’s needed. Perhaps then a new one was obtained to replace the ... |

| I’m no expert but if it was mine I’d treat it. When I rebuilt my 110 I painted the new galvanised chassis black along with everything else individually before assembling. It looked like a brand ne ... |

| I’d agree with everything that’s been said. When buying any second hand vehicle it pays to go to see a few of the same model, then compare them and pick the right one for you. Although I’ve had ... |

| You can put some sort of bar above and below two bolts and turn the flange so the bar then jams against the chassis. It will probably bend the bolts and mash up the threads though, so you’ll need so ... |

| I’m not really sure why anyone who knows what a Defender ( new type ) is would assume it wasn’t a capable vehicle? Just because it may not be to an individuals taste doesn’t mean it’s no good. |
