As an experienced ex-Land Rover Defender Owner, my advice is to go sit in a corner and cry... or start drinking... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Welcome Tinman
As an Ex-Discovery owner :shock: I suggest ww.Landyonline.co.za - I was able to source quite a few bits of info from that site.

Don't refurbish, it will be a waste of time, buy new or second hand.

I got a new one last year for a disco from Albert at British Offroad in Vereniging for a much better price than the other big names in Landy spares.

A 90 defender with a 300 engine or likewise (not the td5, to much electrics) is very capable off-road veichle and actually realible, don't say anything else ;)
