What type of White? + rear axle....

Hi all,

Trying to the find the 'correct' White to touch up my 1989 90....I've
been down to Halfrauds and there's about 4 different whites for land
Rover/Rover .... Does anyone know what the name of the White is for my
90?

Also, I want to replace the drum's on the back with discs. Seems
ligocal to replace the entire axle/springs/shocks/diff etc. Question is
what axle do I need to do this ? Will a Discovery 1 do the job and is
it with in the grasp of someone with a general understanding (ie.
tinkering/servicing/fixing) of Landies....?

Thanks in advance,
Gavin

I think in 1989 it was Limestone or nothing.

Easy to find out. Just give LR a ring with your reg no and they'll tell you.

I think you'll find Austin Rover 'White Diamond' is the colour your after.
Previous owner of my 90 did extensive research into colour and even some
spraying on it.
All was, of course, totally wasted. Should see the state of the finish
now!!!

I don't think it would be an Austin Rover diamond white that was used on
the ninety unless it was a BT vehicle. BT diamond white was a later
colour from 2001 onwards and even then it was a *Ford* diamond white.

Ford diamond white has it's own unique colour code "FOR.0691" and there are
literally dozens of colour variations.

Austin Rover diamond white would be "ARG.665" again with several colour
variations.

Land Rover did not use that many colours for 89-90 so this URL should
help narrow down the search:
