Nice looking defender and a great colour choice !
Mine looked identical when I got it , in fact it was from up your way and possibly hadn’t been treated all that well ! Is yours an ex estate vehicle? https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/ |

I love the originality of it, Looks like a good honest truck.
I’m not sure I can comment about “ forever” status though.... it appears I’m just as bad as you when it comes to buying landrovers 2002 Td5 | 90 County Station Wagon | Oslo Blue

It is from an estate, in Aviemore 
As said, it has a few issues and a few battle scars, but nothing that can't be resolved |

Always good to have a new DC to the fold.

Welcome back Mike! I have a suspicion it wont be stock for long... I still remember being utterly bemused at your old 110's performance as you blasted it down the on ramp to the Kingsway with my mate and myself grinning like utter fools on a test spin. Still a bit sad I never won that auction as I was the highest bidder but never reached reserve

What a tease - not even opened them!
Any reason as to why you didn't go for another TD5 Mike? Also, any chance we'll eventually see a box with a VGT/big turbo in it  Stuart

This came along at the right time and the right price
Td5 DC's are pretty rare to see up this way for sale, and most of them have been messed around with, and would cost a fortune to put right This is another blank canvas 
As for bigger turbos, there aren't huge gains to be had. Big intercooler, big exhaust and a map will probably suffice this time round. If it expires naturally, then an upgrade makes sense, obviously |
