    What spares/replacements should I stock for my Defender before hitting the road?

    So as I wait for my Defender 110 to arrive, I'm starting to think about preparations and I'm curious what parts I should keep stock of in the car that will be good to have on hand, seeing as I'll likely be away from any dealerships for a while (Asia/Africa)? So, before embarking on a generic...

    I ordered a Defender today!!!!!!!

    What I'd really like to do is set up a karting team. That was the first thing that caught my eye actually.. haha. Overlanding and 4x4's are relatively new to me, but racing... Racing, I know

    I ordered a Defender today!!!!!!!

    Thanks for the tip, I will do my best to be there. If I think I'm going to make it then I'll let you know beforehand. It's in my calendar though. Awesome picture, I can't wait to get back to Africa.

    I ordered a Defender today!!!!!!!

    I'm a photographer, so that won't be an issue.. The link to my Facebook page for my journey is below, but I'm sure I'll start a running thread here once I take delivery. I spoke to Stuart earlier and I get the sense that he's going to be a great resource and a pleasure to deal with. The idea...

    I ordered a Defender today!!!!!!!

    Thanks, I will read it. Unfortunately I won't have much time to spend in the car before venturing out, I will try to take a few weeks at least though. Just incase. Thanks. I was planning on just getting the factory winch from LR. Is that a mistake? I have already taken a decent off road...

    Thank you. Yes, '12 2.2L I'll join the other forum now. I'm going to be based out of the Defender, lol. Having said that, I will be taking Delivery in Canterbury and hopefully outfitting the vehicle here in the UK. So once I take delivery we can chat and potentially meet up, would be great...

    I ordered a Defender today!!!!!!!

    Hey everyone, I wanted to introduce myself and say that I'm proud to say that I'll soon be the owner of a new Land Rover Defender 110 (Utility). I placed the order here in the UK (I'm from NYC), and I should take delivery at the start of November. I'm preparing to embark on an overland tour of...

    Looking for advice on buying a 150 series in Europe (maybe 120)

    Thank you both. I am trying to work out what the process will be with registration through two German dealers at the moment. From all of the searching that I've done, it seems that the car is considerably cheaper to buy used in Germany for whatever reason. I'm hoping to get a lightly used 2011...

    Looking for advice on buying a 150 series in Europe (maybe 120)

    I'm sure this has been discussed in bits and pieces, but I'd like to get some updated advice that's tailored to my situation, so hopefully this thread isn't a problem. Also, I guess this will serve as my introduction thread. I've done a fair bit of traveling in my life, but never overland. At...
