My Land Rover Discovery 5 has now been sold! … Although this Defender is not the ideal replacement it’s going to be an amazing new project to build from scratch.
Another car inbound on the channel next week as the “family car” replacement 👌🏻
That’s a fantastic base to start with! Personally, it looks brilliant relatively stock but I get the point of the build. A good service and general tidy up of the body work and an interior refresh without all the bling would be my choice. There’s too many over done and accessorised Defenders out there now that it’s become a case of bolting uninteresting cosmetic bits on them for the sake of bolting bits on them. It’s refreshing to see a Defender looking more like a Defender that left the factory with some subtle and well thought out practical changes. ‘Less is more’ would be my theme of this build if it was mine.
There's potential in this Defender for simple camping trips, as well as daily driver and cargo van. I would cover the hard top with some insulation and then put a Exmoore canvas hood on. The cargo bed can be covered in wood. Beside an in depth cleaning and some new seats, I would keep this beauty as stock as possible. Good luck.
Give it a good clean and leave it alone. It's got character.
I’d nearly agree but that’s no how TH-cam channels stay going
A challenge. Why not return a 20+ year farm use vehicle back to factory fresh spec. Exactly like the day it was purchased. With sympathetic future longevity and reliability upgrades only if needed. Give the previous owner first dibs on resale👍🙂
That would be my choice in build. Return it to show room condition
I've bought a pick up 90 recently. I think the pickups have way more character and are cooler. First plan is to get a full roll cage by whitbread 4x4, second is to get a removable steering wheel as an anti theft barrier, thirdly treat the chassis and then the fun stuff begins and buying bits & pieces from bowler.
I watched your build on your previous 90 and am certainly looking forward to seeing where you go with this one.
Have fun!
Looks like a good blank canvas and I'm excited to see what you do! Always here to help if you need any bits 💯
No way! This is perfect timing.
I accidentally bought a 2013 Defender at auction. I’m picking it up tomorrow (from a farm). I be watching your build with interest and sharing my build journey too in the near future.
Love the channel. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Rich
;o )
Cleanest farm vehicle in the country!
Amazing purchase, can’t wait to see what you’re going to do to it.
😁👍
First job would be to adjust the steering stops to improve the rather large turning circle.
Looking forward to this one, Doc !!
Looks like a really interesting project, TD5s are fantastic ! 👍
Congrats on the new purchase, seems like a good choice. I would pressure wash and treat with one of the corrosion resisting treatments (my 2010 110 was done with Dinitrol a few years ago and has stayed in place). Once that is done I would tidy up the body panels and the interior, then only add mods that are functional rather than blingful. A remap and an improved intercooler and exhaust would be my choice. Whatever you choose, the main thing is to have fun doing it all.
Nice buy, well done. Looking forward to where the build leads.
Love the purchase and I can understand where you would like to take it. Heritage soft top builds are great and I can see the appeal in doing such a conversion. Great fun, increase in value of the build etc etc. If that is the route you take, the rear window/bulkhead is as rare as rocking horse shit so good resale value on that. Good luck and I’ll be following.
Needle gun and clean the entire underside, paint it with Corroless S Anti-Corrosive primer and paint, then lanoguard.
Doc, welcome back to the family buddy!
Nice 110! Please be careful when you jetwash the front around the bonnet catch area. I blew the grease out of the jockey uley bearings on my td5 which seized in a remote area. The power steering and aircon belts snapped and subsequently sliced through the coolant pipes. The recovery to a safe area from where I could trailer it home 350kmaway plus repairs and car rental home cost me over R8000 in 2007 which was a massive dent in the pocket. The replacement bearing cost R35. Expensive lesson learnt. Enjoy that beautiful machine!
Looking forward to this Build
Love new car day!! Jealous of a hi cap, so cool! First thing is always a deep clean and service of all oils and filters. Boring but makes SUCH a difference and really makes it feel like yours straight away
It’s not a hicap.
Good clean and major service fluids and filters and check over engine.
Clean it, inside and out then make it more modern to drive with a remap and VNT turbo having one on my 200tdi makes all the difference with driving experience!!
Then I would go to a place called Mahker In Shropshire and get them to do their chassis and axle treatment it’s top notch 👌🏻 the owner is an ex royal marine engineer knows his stuff!
I’d check it over thoroughly after a clean and nicen up the interior a bit. I would also keep it rough and tumble on the outside for a while!
Depends what your plans are for it with your day to day life. I've always wanted one for them nice summer days. Roof off and nice bench seats in the back for them drives down to the beach.
I'd take the body off and completely clean everything down. Taking the bodies off is really straightforward you can take the rear tub off and the front wings and just leave the bulkhead in place - it gives great access to the chassis and everything else - you at least know what you are dealing with from then on.
Huge fan of your defender content! Been doing my own 90 up, inspired by your original TD5! Optimill everything 😬😂
Incredibly good nick for a 20 year old farm truck especially if it's been around cattle muck.
My ideal Defender would be a 110 high capacity pickup on a galvanised chassis with a 300tdi and an automatic transmission. A superb 2nd vehicle. Good luck with yours.
I’ve just bought a farm defender sooooo much mud underneath 😂😂😂 mine is a 2012 basic basic spec. Just like you I didn’t know where to start !
Glad to see you finally saw the light and bought a 110 Nick, it’s no Wolf, but it’s a good start…shame you went TD5 though, too many electronics for my taste, 300 TDI would’ve been a much better option…see you around the lanes of Kirklington ! Steve
Make sure you check the chassis and bulkhead for rust!
Use Lanoguard for the chassis. Dinitrol is old hat now. I’ve used all sorts and Lanoguard is the daddy
Doesn't last very long and bit messy. IMHO
@@ebbonfly what about Waxoil ?
Like it’s patina and would try and keep original however good clean up of underneath and interior the review need for mechanical overhaul - great find 👍🎯🍑
What led lights are you getting on it from ore4x4
Very cool! People rarely ever buy a Defender PU with the intention of modding it. Generally they’re just used and abused till they die lol. Glad you got another Defender for the channel though 👌
As for build ideas, beast mode! Throw on a portal axle kit from Werewolf in Ukraine. Or an air suspension kit from Airbag Man in Oz. Or both! Open up them purse strings Dr. MoneyBags 😃
1st thing, have the underside washed by a garage and then have a very good look at it.
Lof clutch, release bearing and fly wheel, demand 3 inch exhaust, bigger intercooler, performance air filter, another visit to alive tuning, leave the body looking old and build a street sleeper.. but treat yourself to some seats lol.
Haha, It looks like you also can not live without a Land Rover in your life 🙈👍
My first Land Rover was a Discovery 1 3.5 V8 that belonged to a Chicken Farmer at Shrewton on Salisbury Plain. It smelt like it 😅 and I think he’d used it for ploughing. Loved it, but a bitch to start went hot and had a thirst like a camel lost in the desert 🐪
Nice ad blue tooth stereo
Well designed for heavy duty work
In the future find a 1 owner Land Rover in 2044. I’d bet the house it will be impossible. Now in the time to buy up what you want to have because things will not be the same in years to come.
Can’t wait to see this when it’s done mate. One thing I would love to see is an exhaust. Straight through mid section and down pipe 👌
how many miles???
Leave it stock - definitely don't change the wheels etc
Is it a replacement for the Discovery as they are worlds apart
Nice car a lot better than your discovery this will be a very reliable then you discovery 5
You got the better deal that discovery is a crock
My daily drive is a 1983 90 simple driving no hassle fix for pence and tax and mot exempt very soon
I can definitely see a cool n vintage style defender coming out here. I mean let's face it, that's what I would do with a lwb pickup. Might be tempted for a bright colour, orange or bright blue, retro front grille, galv top edge rails and tan bikini hood for the rear. Tan leather seat set. Maybe split front doors? Mud tires on matching coloured steel rims.
Had dinitrol done on my 90 TD5, seems good so far.
Not forgetting a wheel on the bonnet, and hinged window blocks for that retro fold down screen look.
What vehicle is the farmer getting to replace it?
A toyota or ford ranger
Exactly the same again but a 2016 High Capacity pick up!
@@thedoctorsgarage the ranger 3.2 engine can fit very nice into the defender
Interesting engine swap… I have thought about a swap
@@thedoctorsgarage the 2.2 puma is already in the last models but i know 3.2s out of rangers have been put into defenders here in ireland
I wonder what the farmers replaced it with? I doubt he’ll be getting 20 years out of many pick up trucks they now use!
Can buy 3 pickups for the price of a Defender though.
@@-DC- new defenders yes. But I wouldn’t put the new and old in the same category anyway.. one is a real agricultural and utility vehicle and the other is for accountants who want to visit their second home in Cornwall on the weekend with the surf board strapped to the roof!
We run 3 defenders for mooring operations and pull wires and ropes, our oldest is a 1999 and has given us great service over the last 18 years we’ve owned it!
The Ford Ranger we have which is a 2018 has already given us problem and just doesn’t compare to the pulling power the old defender has.. having the axles lock up when you put it in low really doesn’t help as it eats tyres.. the good old defender is permanent 4 wheel drive with a centre diff lock which helps us massively as the weights we pull are very high but the traction is normally fine!
Soft top all day long .
the skip might have been a fair swap....
OMG another Defender??? Have you divorced...?
😂She is still holding in there
Big chunky tyres steel wheels, high lift suspension, new seats, Mud console with 7 inch head unit, big roll bar with lights in the back and maybe a winch.
I have a funny feeling that you are about to ruin it, as you did the last defender 😫 Why would you want to turn a Land Rover into a pretty, boy racers, street car ???? Especially at your age 🤔 I hope that I win the auction when you have ruined it, then I can chuck all of the crap that you have put on it into the skip and return it to standard.
😂😂 cheers Mark, thanks for taking the time out of your day to still watch the channel!
Let’s hope that I can continue watching once you start your work 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
