Alarm & immobiliser fitted
A very nice all round example with plenty of accessories and good specification.
Recorded maintenance work including changing transfer box ratio converted to Discovery 1 specification, which is slightly higher and allows an easy 70mph gait on the motorway.
A larger intercooler has also been fitted, as well as an upgraded cooling fan.
The EGR and cat have been deleted and a Rebel steering guard and a Chunky Monkey front and rear differential cover have been fitted for underbody protection.
Snorkel cowl panel fitted and receipt for wading kit
The interior has also been nicely updated with a few key extra features including an auxiliary binnacle mounted on top of the dashboard that provides a home for a row of three switches plus instruments to monitor the turbocharger boost and time. A VDO rev counter has been neatly fitted in the dashboard, too.
A centre console around the gear levers provides space for a couple of cups, as does the useful cubbybox that sits between the front seats.
Full rear racking system including full height dog guard.

In addition to above work we had more pre MOT work done such as, new track rod ends, some new brake pipes, new brake caliper and some suspension bushes.
When cold the Defender sometimes has a noisy spigot bush/clutch bearing. (a very common Td5 fault) We have taken this into account with selling price so any further rectification work can be discussed for a fee.
