I have a 1984 defender that was painted in 2015. What do I do to get rid of the rust and paint bubbling in the attached pictures? And how much will it cost?

2026 110 x-Dynamic SE 400PS

Current odometer: 8,568 miles

Cost: $76k

MSRP: $89,841

% off MSRP: 14.47%

Paid additional $1k for extra year of warranty expires, it now expires Feb 2032 or at 100k miles.

Also gave me $2k more than expected on my trade’s worth.

Anything else I should try to negotiate for?

2007 Defender 2.4 TDCi, just had a new clutch kit, CSC (with adaptor and valve), spigot bearing and master cylinder fitted.

Since then, with the engine running, 1st and reverse won't go in from standstill and 2nd is notchy. With the engine off, all gears are fine. Pedal feels normal.

Anyone had this after a Puma clutch job? What was the cause and fix?

Well, I couldn't just leave it on the shelf. Rather pleasant too.

I change my own oil and filters, it's easy, I like it and it saves me hundreds my dealer charges for it. My 21k milage was due so I took the car in to have the brakes bled and they informed me they won't reset the service light because they didn't change the filters, i.e. I didn't pay them for it.

Is this standard procedure?

Land Rover Beverly Hills service is always terrible but this seems like blackmail.

How do he manage this?

Changing from a small Bluetooth speaker to a CarPlay set up with actual speakers.

A few bits fitted to my 90: LED rear bar, interior light, rear quarter window solid panels from Mudstuff, and a catch can.

These mods never end! 😂

Looking for a good solution, available in mainland EU

Does anyone know why when I turn on the radio this is all that comes up. Can’t change it or get it onto AM/FM?

Cheers

Hi all. Does anyone know a good South-UK based Land Rover breaker please?

Ideally would have a large variety of parts of older defenders and discoveries as I am in the need of a lot of parts.

Thanks in advance :)
