Thanks Marmaduke. Are the fronts longer than the rears? Problem I have is I don't know if the front has a lift or not.

My '84 90 looks like its going uphill all the time, sits low at the back. I need to order some new rear springs but not sure what spec or length I should get, can you help? The front springs are 16mm diameter and approx 290mm long when on the motor unladen. The rear springs are 15mm diameter...

only the chassis??

Noticed a new vibration getting progressively worse over the last couple of days. When taking a left or right hand bend at around 30-40 I get a vibration, from the ground up is the best way I can describe it, steering is OK. Any suggestions please before I get under it later today? rgds

Slowly making progress, disconnected the tow socket and that got rid of the short, now have all back lights. Now to sort the front LH sides of which there are three!!! One seperate side, one seperate bulb in the headlamp and one which only comes on with ignition in the main bulb but dimmer, I'd...

Its an 84 with a 200tdi in it, had another stab at it this afternoon but no joy yet, all the fittings and bulbs look OK. Tomorrow gonna try a volt meter across the fuse socket while whiggling wires all over the place to see if the volt meter flickers. Access to all the wiring dosent look good...

Yeah now you mention it the numberplate light is out too, I'll check all the fittings as you suggest, maybe even a dodgy bulb? Is the number plate light one of those festoon bulbs? Is there somewhere the front and rear can be easily disconnected? 20 questions!! thanks for helping

No lamps changed recently, I'll try a new fuse with the nearside tail and side bulbs removed tomorrow to see what happens.

Every time i put a new fuse in and turn on the lights the fuses blows straight away with a flash and pop!!

Hi, My 90 has a hard short on the LH tail light (and front sidelight I think), had a quick look this evening before the daylight went and saw nothing obvious. Wondered if there are any common causes for this? Wishful thinking I guess. The front sidelight is out too, guessing its all on the...

Oops wrong place, how do I delete or move this?

Hi All, Got my first landie, its a 90 with a 200tdi and auto box (from a disco). Its tidy and runs great normally but I have starting problem now. Yesterday it wouldnt start (like a dead battery), the AA jumped it but while trying I noticed that the cable for the auto shift got VERY hot. Last...
