Hi all, I have a series 2a 2.25 petrol, originally had a webber 34 carb on it but I couldn't ever get it running well (potentially an internal blockage that is apparently common with these). So I ordered a cheap Zenith replica from ebay to test. And it made a huge improvement. However, as...

Hello, I am looking for a defender that I can do up as a project. Preferably, I am after 200/300TDI but would consider a TD5 if one came up. A double cab would be my choice if i was given one but I am open to all sorts including 90's. I am graduating from uni this summer so will be doing...

Hello, I am looking for the offside front wing for a green defender. My mate has managed to mangle his and so I am trying to source one that hopefully will be a good enough colour match to not need painting. If anyone knows of one going, let me know please. I am based in Manchester until Easter...

I have just finished rebuilding my 90 and am reluctantly putting it up for sale. I am spending summer in Australia before returning to Uni so can not justify having all that beer money sat on my drive doing nothing! It's on ebay so take a look if you're interested. Land rover 90 | eBay...

Hi, So I've got two issues. The first one is something I've posted before but wasn't able to find a solution. Brakes: Basically the fronts seem to be sticking on intermittently. Every now and then, I get the feeling something is resisting, pull over (discs are hot), loosen the bleed nipple, a...

Hi, So I've basically finished rebuilding my 1987 Land Rover 90 and would like to get peoples opinion on how much it's worth. I've kept the original 2.5TD engine in it so I know that that will probably keep the price down. I've practically done a nut and bolt rebuild and anything that needed...

Right, another question. I've tried searching however I am pretty useless at being concise so have failed to type something in that brings up results that offer answers. So when I hit around 45mph I feel a kind of wobble. 1) wobble is coming from the midsection, i.e it isn't coming up through...

Hi, I've a 1987 land rover with the original 19J in and it doesn't seem as gutsy as I expected. Now I know I shouldn't be expecting much with the 19j still in there but it takes forever to build up speed and I often find my self having to change down as soon the road shows a slight incline...

Hi, I replaced the near side wheel bearings and then took the landy in for the mot, she passed but on the way back both the front brakes stuck on. The rears were completely free and I'd say the fronts were stuck on equally. I am a bit confused since the backs were unaffected so although...

Hi, So whilst I've been away at Uni, my dad took my Landy in for its first MOT since being rebuilt. It failed on the near side front wheel bearing. But I put new wheel bearing in during the rebuild so it can't be because they're worn out. So I am thinking maybe something is too tight or too...

Hi, currently there is about 30-40 degrees of play when turning the steering wheel before the wheels begin to move. So I am trying to adjust the steering box (No play in the ujs). I've got the 6 nut Gemmer power steering box. The I've removed the locking nut but the threaded shaft with the...

Hi, I purchased what I think is the correct cable to replace the one that broke. I've got a 1987 (D reg) Landrover with the original engine, transfer box and gear box. From this I ordered the speedo cable with part number PRC6022 however when I come to fit it, the metal square cable is about...

Hi, So for some reason the pump doesn't work for the windscreen water jet. Removed the pump and tested it by direct wiring it directly to battery and nothing happens, no sound or anything. So I imagine its fooked. So anyway, the parts catalog says part number DRC2713L however the ones for...

Hi, Quick question, the gasket from the turbo to exhaust (land rover 90, 1987) is a metal shim type one with a raised centre 'bit'. What way round does it go? I.e. raised side against the turbo or raised size against the exhaust? I've read the answer somewhere, but have forgot and can't get...

Hi, quick question, will putting 225/75 r16 on the front and 235/75 r16 on the back mess up things? I know there is not a huge amount of difference in the size but want to make sure I wont be damaging anything! Got a 1987 90 with original running gear except a discovery axle at the back...

Hi, As the title says, I am after some tyres. I need two but if you've only got one, that is fine. Need to be in good enough condition to pass an mot. I am after just the tyres. I will be driving from Manchester to the Dorset coast in a week so can collect from basically anywhere thats not...

Right, So after putting my landy back together I come to drive it and give it a good run and it won't drive out of my drive way. The best way I can describe it is it feels like i am trying to pull away in 3rd or 4th in a normal car. It seems to have a little more power if I am in low range but...

So I am nearing the end of my rebuild and will hopefully be having the mot done soon. I am confident she will pass on everything except for the emissions which i am a little apprehensive about. Reason being, I was foolish enough to keep the old 19j engine and it hasn't been run properly for a...

Hi, Am looking for 2 tyres so that i can have all 4 wheels matching. Currently i've got BF Goodrich 225/75 r16 All terrain on the front so preferably two to match these. I'll be interested if someone has a set of 4 similar on rims or not. Live in Bridport, Dorset so needs to be relatively...

Hi, I am after 2 safari door hinges as I am going to make a side opening tailgate since i cocked up welding my rear crossmemeber on and it will look silly if i modify the existing mechanism to allow for my wonky xmember. So if anyone has any lying about I'll buy :). Thanks Jasper
