Sri Lanka Off-Road Trails / Best Trail in the East Coast?
Last post by LankanTrailBoss - Jul 05, 2025, 11:48 AMThinking of planning an off-road ride with some friends next month. Want to try somewhere around Ampara or Akkaraipattu — something with beach meets jungle.
Any local trail suggestions? I've done Yala and Knuckles before. Need something fresh.

Electrical, Lighting & Electronics / Interior Dome Light Keeps Flic...
Last post by Gowshi07 - Jul 05, 2025, 11:46 AMAney, my dome light acts like a disco ball! Flickers when going over bumps or turning. Is this a wiring issue or something to do with the door switch?

Show Off Your Defender / Meet “Luna” – My Daily Colombo...
Last post by Jacqueline Fernando - Jul 05, 2025, 11:45 AMHey everyone! Sharing my pride and joy — a 1999 Defender 90 named Luna 💙
Fully restored with navy-blue paint, white steelies, and canvas top. She's my daily driver through Bambalapitiya traffic and also my weekend ride to Kalpitiya dunes.
Would love to see photos of your Colombo Defenders too!

Mechanical Issues & Fixes / Strange Vibrations at 60km/h —...
Last post by HanishAlpha - Jul 05, 2025, 11:40 AMHi guys, facing a weird vibration between 55-65km/h. Smooth below that and after 70 it fades. Thought it was tyres, got them balanced. Still there.
Could this be a driveshaft issue? U-joints? Anyone faced something similar on a 200TDi Defender?

Restoration Projects / Found a Rusted 88” — Is It Wor...
Last post by Dilan_Fernando - Jul 05, 2025, 11:39 AMMachanla, I found a seriously weathered Series II 88" parked behind an old CTB workshop in Polgahawela. Bonnet gone, doors half rusted, but the chassis looks restorable. The uncle there said he'd let it go for Rs. 280,000.
I'm tempted to take on the restoration and slowly build her back to life. Anyone here brought back something this far gone? Is it worth it — or am I biting off more than I can chew?

Last post by ChamalLahiru - Jul 05, 2025, 11:08 AMAlright boys and girls – pick one celebrity to join you on a long trail ride across Sri Lanka in your Defender.
I'd take Mahela Jayawardena to Madulsima — good cricket talk, calm vibes, and probably won't complain when the AC dies.
Who are you picking and why?

Last post by Tharindu_Kasun - Jul 05, 2025, 11:06 AMYesterday I told my 110: "Just one more hill, darling. After that you can rest." And I swear she climbed smoother.
Come on, admit it. Who else has conversations with their Defender? What do you say?
