Hello,

I am looking for some intial advice, though (I suspect) I will be returning for more detail over the coming months/years.

I have recently acquried a Land Rover Defender 90 2.5 TDi (E-reg). It is in need of some TLC. Not least of which is a new clutch / thrust plates. The Land Rover has been stood for about 18mths, but did start after some minor persuation.

I am planning to strip and rebuild the vehicle - obviously a big job. I will be learning whilst doing and need some guidance. Would anyone like to suggest some good starting points (books, websites, "cars for dogs").

Thanks in advance.

a factory workshop manual rather than a haynes, and a parts manual is also helpfull.

Thanks bigbad. I have a manual on order.

def90 - I wish I could say the plans were " :twisted: ". The first thing is to get it running properly (i.e. so it is possible to change gear with the engine running!) then a clean up, new tyres, winch, snorkel. Then who knows? Getting to this sort of stage will have a few trials and tribulations.
