Hi, garage have phoned me today to tell me the rear axle casing is in a bad way, filler on top of filler etc, I'm struggling to find many places that just do a new casing, I don't really want to change the whole axle, has anyone got any suggestions as to where to find them, and how big a job is...

Thanks Blue Beasty, have you got any local recommendations for good spray shops, am looking to get a bonnet on ebay and get it painted up, think someone was practicing dancing or rugby scrums on mine!

Thanks all, blue beastly, I'm just outside of Stroud, I've got a new bulkhead going on the week after next at AJ Bulls (think you may have recommended him), so was thinking of asking him for a price, but thanks for the generous offer, it's a matter of lack of time for me spending a full day on...

Hopefully an easy question, are any modifications necessary to the car and/or the bonnet? Thanks.

Hi there, i have very rusty side cappings under the rear windows of my 1992 90. can I ask for opinions from those that have replaced the cappings as to how big a job it is. Lack of a drive and garage plus working away a lot mean I was planning on using a local body shop to lift the roof and...

Anyone give me a view as to how many hours it would take a garage to remove side cappings, refit new painted and galvanised ones based on lifting roof etc to my 1992 90. I can't do the job at home, no garage or drive or time over the next few months but keen to get it completed as the rust is...

Hi there, I have to be honest, when buying my 1992 200tdi a few years ago, I can't say I really knew a lot about defenders, I'd always fancied one and bought mine on a bit of a whim...... Anyway, I'm looking at a 1999 td5 on Monday, 96000 miles on the clock. I was looking for a top 5 things...

Any recommendations, I found a place in Birmingham but they are busy for 6 months, my local guy suggested the rot is likely to mean an MOT failure due to proximity to brake master cylinder. It's the labour cost that is the biggest cost, the bulkhead pimed and painted is £1300, labour £1700......

Thanks, I'm still mulling over he £3k cost of the galv bulkhead.........

I think it's discs on front and drums on back, are the boost alloys still ok?

Probably a daft question, but just wanted to check on the basis that I've seen Boost alloys advertised on one site for 1994 defenders onwards, is there any reason i couldnt fit them on my 1992 model? Cheapest ive found them based on the 16" black gloss ones are £83 each, anyone bought any...

Hi everyone, I'm looking at getting a recon galvanised bulkhead fitted by the guys at Andover Land Rover. All in, including painting and fitting I'm looking at £3k, a lot of money to spend on my 1992 200tdi, however I have no time or garage/drive to do it myself. Before I go ahead and give them...

I know, I've been told to be thinking c100 hours to get the bulkhead and chassis done, does that sound realistic, effectively 1 man for 2.5 weeks (assuming 40hrs per week)?

Hi, I'm looking for a guide as to what I can expect to pay a garage to replace my bulkhead and possibly chassis on a 1992 Defender 90? I'm taking it to a local garage on Wednesday, the mechanic (who was recommended on here) is going to put it on the lift to check the chassis and recommends that...

Thanks guys, I'll try Ebley first:)

I've been using Tim Fry in Cheltenham for most of my servicing, repairs and upgrades to my 1992 90 - no real issues but quite expensive. Anyone got any good recommendations for alternatives in the Shire? My bulkhead is pretty bad, not sure if I dare ask TF for a price, also potential new chassis...

Has anyone got any recommendations for a good engine degreaser - there are loads of options out there (Gunk / Jizer etc) would be good to hear from you. have read previous postings on cleaning engines, don't think mine is too bad, was going to use old fashioned elbow grease before considering...

Hi, has anyone fitted Masai side windows to a 90 before, how easy is it (I have VERY basic skills), i assume they fit to replace current window, and secondly, what do you think in terms of the quality of these compared to other brands? Thanks for your help!

Thanks for information, who did you get to fit it for you, and how recently was it done?

Hi all, first time on this forum, infact first time on any forum. Bought a J reg 90 last year mainly as a means of transport to get to and from work as we are quite remote. To be honest, didn't really know much about Defenders, and probably should have done more research before diving in...
