Land Rover Defender 110 2.5 300TDI County Station Wagon CSW


She was rebuilt on a galvanized chassis by the previous owner a Land Rover enthusiast/NUT. He had been building her up in his spare time from when he bought her in 2007 with 160k on her, he had planned to keep for himself and by chance I went to him for some advice.


After looking for the right one what seemed to be years and seeing the attention this one was receiving, I knew she was the one. So after plaguing the life out of him over the next couple of months, he finally cracked and I bought her while she was part way through her build. I eventually picked her up about 7 months later in Sept 2014.


I then started upgrading her to make her my own, a labour of love you might say. She had just under 49000 miles on the clock (replaced clocks) when I picked her up in 2014 and now over 6 years later she only has 54560, so i'm doing less than 1000 miles a year from occasional use. This is one of the reasons why she's on here today, just not getting the use she deserves. I work away and have only gotten back home yesterday 11/01/2021 from 11/11/2020 so that's another 9 weeks she's just sitting not turning a wheel, She deserves better!


I had planned to go overlanding around Europe and Africa, but with family and business, it just hasn't happen! If I had the luxury of a nice heated garage where I could keep her I wouldn't be selling, as these 300tdi's are an appreciating asset now.


She's had a fortune spent on her she has the following

Jobs on my list if I were keeping fit the bits and bobs that are here etc like

-Wire the VDO gauges up 

-Fit bonnet checker-plate and stay

-Fit Kenlowe fan, apparently you get a few more MPG taking the Viscous fan off

-Wide Wheel arch kit wasn't sure about it, personal preference

-There is some Bubbling of paint around the top windows on the roof, I couldn't decide if I was going to do the roof Black or not.

-Rear door is still the Original one so has been painted a couple of times, this will still last years but corrosion will come through I would fit later galvanised door.

-Powder coating is flaking on roof rack ladders and mounting clamps

-Clutch release bearing can be Noisy when truck has been standing for ages, I couldn't get hold of the one I wanted from Syncro Gearboxes when the box was changed out https://www.onlinegearboxparts.com/product/ultraspec-release-bearing/

-Back box is looking rusty 

-Fit a stereo I was never bothered but the kids were.
