Swapped the defender for something a dit drastic!
Well after 3 years of ownership the Defender is away. Drove it to flippin Minton Keynes to swap it for this bad boy...



















Only had it 12 hours and it was away for some modding!
















Basically it's a 1.7CDTi Astravan Sportive edition with a few small modifications

Lowered on Eibachs, 19" Astra VXR rims and fitted with Corsa VXR half leather Recaros inside :cool:


A whole stack of bits turned up yesterday for it so stay tuned

Cheers guys, I do like it quite a bit. Totally love the fact that even being thrashed it gets better MPG than the Defender did being driven like a granny. For a 1.7 it's not slow either... ok not as fast as Susan's with it having 200bhp, but I'm in the process of closing the gap a bit

And yes, she totally hated me when I said I was buying it. She's been after a VXR front end for aaages but they are silly money by the time you get it painted and modified to fit the estate. The one on the van was apparently ?1.5k fitted!

it's got a few issues that need sorted out, like the airbag light being on due to it having the VXR seats and small stuff like that. Needs a damn good polish too as it's quite swirly in places

that's the plan! Loads of space in the back for Jerry cans, the sapre set of wheels, nitrogen bottle, tool box...

the space in the back is enormous for what is really an estate without seats!
