    Helpppp radio/electric nightmare.

    Probably best to take the permanent live from the cig lighter Or you could trace the live back into the dash & see where it's pulled away from - but it's pretty tight around the back of the radio!

    Rear Door - Worth Saving?

    Hi, After sorting some earting issues on my defender I've just been looking further into the rust on my rear door. Here's some photos of the rust: So - do people think it's worth repairing? I can probably get a mate to do a bit of welding on it but I'm not...

    Wanted. Forward facing seats or seat.

    I've got one which the hinge has broken off, so it would require a new hinge putting on or can just be bolted down permanently. I'll put a photo of it up later - I'm in Derbyshire. PM me if you're interested :)

    300Tdi Issues - Drain plug missing? Fluid leaks

    Hi, I've had my 90 for a while - its got a galv chassis - however I'm looking further underneath it etc & it's looking a bit strange. There seem to be a lot fluids underneath & quite a bit of surface rust on the front suspension/brakes. The most worrying thing for me though is when looking...

    40k 300tdi w/ Galv chassis - how much is it worth?

    Hi, I've got a J reg Defender 90 with a 300TDi engine which has covered 40k and just had the Cambelt done. And just had a new bulkhead and galvanised chassis put on. It's got rear windows and forward facing seats, but no side panel trim etc. How much do you think it's worth, cause I'm...

    Jack won't fit in Galvanised Chassis

    hi, i've got a galvanised chassis on my 300TDi and I didnt have a jack when I first got it but now i have one, but it won't fit in the rear jacking point thing, but will fit in the front. Will this be due to the galvanising making the hole smaller? Is there any way to get round this? apart from...

    Good sound proofing

    Hi that's some really good info there, especially the part about sticking it down well as I originally intended to just use carpet tape, but I'll have to use some proper spray adhesive now. I'm still stuck for a real sound deadening product. I've been looking and have come across this: Car...

    Good sound proofing

    That looks a good idea, I'm not sure if that stuff would work for the roof etc. But might use those for the floor, and then other stuff for the roof if i get some recommendations. thanks for the info!

    Good sound proofing

    Hi, I'm looking to sound proof the back of my 90 before I carpet it & put the headlining in, so was wondering what a good sound proofing material was. I've been reading about and people say not to get stuff with bitumen in it as when heated it gives off a smell?! Of course I'm not wanting...

    90 side steps

    They look good, but do look a bit close to the body, if I can't afford the other ones I'll probably get them, paddocks is only 5 mins from me so I'm there all the time. Love the simplicity of your truck, are they factory tinted windows or did you do them yourself? Wanting to do mine but they...

    90 side steps

    Sounds a bit serious! mines just a 300TDi but had a galvanised chassis put on and getting everything sorted on it. I'll put up some pictures when I've got all the wheels on, as got different wheels on the back to the front and it doesn't look good!
