England 2002 Defender 110 Td5 SW Coniston Green
My other half jumped in her Mini and Censored off when mine decided not to start this morning. It was the smoke coming out of the handbrake gaiter that pointed me to a duff engine earth. Put a spare jump lead from the engine lifting eye to the earth on my winch battery leads which sorted the problem Thumbs Up

The Defender in our household belongs to the wife. Bow down It's her everyday car to go to work and back. But I'm allowed to drive it once in a while. Thumbs Up

I think I fall into the 'very lucky' category.

But we do see Land Rovers as 'memory makers', not 'jewellery boxes' to adorn with sparkle.

After washing her own car, she steered (without PAS) & braked (without servo) the dead Defender whilst I dragged it behind the 101 to the local Indy to be fixed. No complaints whatsoever, from her (or me Wink ). I guess I'm very lucky too Very Happy

France 2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Corris Grey
Mrs Grenadier is no doubt pleased that during this heatwave the DCPU has been stuck in Spain being repaired and she has been able to go to work each day in her fast, comfortable, quiet, Audi TT with aircon and a proper sound system. I doubt she would do anything to change this status quo. Whistle

The bad news for her is the garage in Palma are finished and the Def will be on its way back and return to its place as 'daily driver' by the end of the month Rolling with laughter Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....
