Hi Got a TD5 90, had it since new and it won’t be going anywhere. Been looking at getting a Disco 4 commercial for the farm as well, wasn’t going to be too fussy about it’s condition because of what I’d be using it for as a farm run about etc but have been put off by tales of engine problems...

Hi considering fitting some RX8 seats in my 90 hard top. Have been looking at other alternatives like discovery seats but seems that the RX8 seats are about the best option. In any case all the examples I’ve seen of fitting RX8 seats seem to be in county’s without the big bulkhead, will these...

Hi Got a 90 TD5 running a Dynachip map and was wondering about putting a bigger intercooler on but don’t fancy spending big bucks on something like an allisport or whatever as it’s just a farm Landy. Are there any other alternatives out there that you could get from a normal motor factors or...

Put some rear trailing arm bushes on my defender about 10,000 miles ago. Recently have noticed that it’s feeling a bit oversteery and is wandering about and I suspect that it’s probably the bushes again. Does look like a bit of wear on the big doughnut ones. I would have thought they should...

hi I have been thinking about treating my chassis with something like dinitrol for a while and with the dry weather I am thinking now could be the time to do it. Not settled on what to treat it with but dinitrol seems to be favourite so far but am open to suggestions. Land Rover spends a lot...

Hi I reckon my springs are shot. Got a 2004 90 TD5 and was thinking Landrover was swinging a bit when towing sometimes and worked out that partly was to do with the back of the Landrover sitting down so much. After looking at what the rear spring rates should be and seeing how much my Landy...

Hi I was doing a long run with the trailer today and something a bit odd happened. Took a heavy load one way and no problems. Was coming home empty and you come up a long hil for a couple of miles. I did have my foot planted in 5th the whole way as I was passing people, doing about 60ish...

Hi I don’t tow a huge amount with my 90 td5 but when I do it’s usualy heavy loads as I am carting cattle and I can often be over 3t. Dunno how many of you cart cattle but the main problem isn’t so much the weight but that they can move around a lot leading the weight shifting all over the place...

hi Have remapped my defender td5 with dynachip and deegr'd it and decatted it. Massive improvement in every way but I might have an issue. I have noticed that there is a hot sort of burning smell under the bonnet that you can smell in the cabin now and again, particularly when towing. It may...

hi, I'm having a bit of a gear change issue. When driving normally generally ok but have a slight issue sometimes changing in lower gears and clutch feels a bit notchey. I think the clutch fork release arms are a bit worn. When towing changing up is fine but changing down from 5th to 4th is...

hi I deleted my EGR yesterday in preparation for a remap. It's an EU3 engine. Was pretty simple and I think it has made my engine pull slightly better from low down. Manifold and EGR valve itself were wet inside with oil sludge so will hopefully stop that gunk going in the engine. I have...

hi Am going to fit some new shocks to back of my 2005 90 TD5 as they are phecked. Is handling like an old rowing boat just now. Was looking to fit Monroe shocks as they might be a bit better than the britpart ones I've fitted before. Went on to paddocks and the Monroes they have seem to only be...

hi Rear body mounting on my 90 td5 has pretty much turned to powder as has a large part of the rear tub floor. Have located parts at yrm so all good so far. Floor looks pretty simple, just drill out old rivets and rivet new floor in. That is unless anyone else has other ideas? Rear body...

hi there My 90 TD5 has developed a clunk when changing gear or accelerating. Isn't so bad when going down a hill or if you are very (and I mean very) gentle with the clutch. I think it also does it when going over potholes but she is so noisy anyway it is hard to tell! Have had a look...

hi there First post. Have tried having a look around the forum so apologies if I'm asking an old question. I have a 54 plate 90 TD5 that I inherited from my dad. It is the 8th in a long line of land rovers we have had ranging from ( I think) a series 2, 2.25 petrol 88, a series 2 88inch...
