Breakdown no.3
Rear damper support sheared nut off and damper took out the fuel line. Hopefully, not too bad to fix.

That looks like bad luck, but just to be sure, on this thread is mentioned the orientation of the top domed washers.

I'd like to say it saves diesel!!
 but the amount it pumped out was shocking!!
All fixed now by the excellent Cult4x4. Just waiting for new tyres tomorrow and will be ready to collect.

Thanks for the pic James
Will be interesting what you think of them against the toyo's 
P.S I still think that you can't beat bowler rims  1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.

The above photo was @Cult4x4 winding me up!! Actual fitted photos below.
I opted for KO2's again, as I can't fault them for our use (mainly tarmac, with mild green lanes and fields). The previous set have lasted 6 years and almost exactly 70k miles, so despite price increasing from £140 2017 to £230 each, I still think that represents good value for money. Let's hope the new ones last as long! And most importantly still the best looking AT tyre IMO.  
I really like the Toyo MT on the Ninety, surprisingly quiet on tarmac and never concerned me in the wet. I just wasn't sure my wife would put up them on her everyday car, especially as they wear (which they haven't really yet).

Haha, exactly! Phew!
The Defender was already booked into Cult4x4 for a service but jsut got the best service from them, collecting it and getting it back on the road so quick. Whilst there they fixed the damper mount, fuel filter housing and guard and refreshed the front bumper and side steps and carried out an intermediate service all in a day. Had new Terrafirma rear dampers fitted, not heard the best reviews, but came highly recommend, so I'll give them a try. So far I have to say they feel great and a fraction of the cost of Fox or Bilstien! Cult4x4 new workshop is just awesome too! Highly recommend.

The first 2 pics are the ones to show how ( imo ) that you've got it spot on James with the tyres and the rims
