Hi there. My J reg 1991 defender has got an electric problem. The side lights wont turn off. I have tried taking the fuses out and that turns the right side lights off but the left ones stay on. What is odd is that it takes two fuses to get the right hand side lights to work and the left wont...

Hi there, My 110 1991 defender lights won't turn off. No matter what I do with the switch. If the switch is in the off position the forward lights are on but very dim. If I turn them to the on position the go on as they should. The back lights are always on. The only way I can turn them off...

thanks pos for you help.... at last a informative response. That is a great help so basically using the defender as a normal car that gets used for towing horse boxes etc but primarily on road use a sports filter is ok if you don't mind a slightly nosier engine/more powerful engine? Do you know...

the filter cost £6 much cheaper than a land rover one, just want to know if it will cause any harm to the engine?

The air filter on my 200tdi is up for replacement.....a friend of mine has got rid of the defender air filter boxing and has put in a sports air filter with a separate oil air filter, looks very smart and he says that it gives him that little extra boost when driving longer distances. Will this...
