All series gauge's are getting well old. The one in mine just about lifts off the bottom when up to temp. Check what temp you actually have with a IR temp reader, aim at thermostat, top hose, rad bottom hose. I had a job to find a new thermostat...

Throw up some pictures as it may help. I am not familiar with the new gearboxes. But the older ones had a couple of small earth cables for the difflock switch’s etc. and also has reverse switch wiring as well.

Sorry to say but that is not a crack. That is the result of corrosion working out from the inside of the chassis box section. What is worse is that someone in the past has done a rubbish job of patching the area probably hiding worse underneath...

I would add a second earth strap to the chassis from engine if not got one already as the engine and gearbox sits on rubber mounts

No, not that I can see.

Mine is earthed to the engine block and the radiator support bracket - definitely not standard, but it works. As the engine sits on rubber mounts, it sort of makes sense to provide a good return from the starter motor via the block.

2+ shocks this used to happen to my son's Ninety when laning. Standard length shocks and it isn't a problem.

Yes used to go to a few pay and play sites, always went for the deep water! learnt that only way to make sure was to strip and regrease after every day out.

When I was trialing a lot with my series I had those flanges that had a screw fitting in them and replaced with grease nipples. After a dirty day fresh grease pumped in. If there was water in there don't know where it went but never had to...

Do you drive through over axle deep water a lot? Although a 1990 truck mine is a late made 19j with the old axle lube system. Has 200tdi engine these days.

Yes Just EP80/90 oil to fill swivels. Some say use grease is they leak some on the ball housing to reduce the issue. Thing is when heated while driving the type of grease in one shot gets just as runny as oil. It is best to fix the seal. Bush is...

My daughter tells me there are adaption kits available to allow Isofox seats to fit older models.

A quick fix is a couple of Jubilee clips around top spring coil and seat housing.

And it is correct for pre Defender models @lynall :D

What you are thinking is all wrong. What you are describing is how the set up should be for Land Rover Ninety and One Ten models. The "Defender did not come in until late 1990. [this distinction can be important when ordering parts] I have a pre...

A 7.50 x 16 should have a 7.50” side wall and 7.50” section width. In practice many will be a bit taller esp if a mud terrain.

Doubt you fried it but you could have jammed it in gear. Try putting it in gear say 3rd high with ignition off and rock the truck back and fore. Given it's a Landy you may need a couple of mates to help do this.

There are "spot weld" removal drill bits available.

I hate that noise. A fancy, shiny, slick car pulls up and then makes a gross farting sound. So poor.

Thanks all, Nice quick job, went in from underneath and some injector release spray soon had the movement released again. While I was under there I noticed that the return spring had worn away so nice new spring on as well. Now onto alternator...

Learning to drive must be a breeze nowadays. My Golf has an electric motor on each brake caliper to apply the handbrake. Sure it will be considerably more expensive to fix than adjusting or replacing a cable.

You would be lucky to find a vehicle with a hand brake lever now.

Plenty of older vehicles around here. Had a look at an electric job the other day, just an electric servo motor pulling on cables. Another thing to go wrong so folk do not learn how to hill start using the hand brake!:(:(

When I did my son's panhard bushes I used some poly bushes and new bolts. Following week I fitted oem bushes, the poly bushes were a waste of time, you could see the axle moving from side to side.

Like wheel bearings

Yes go from the seat box center plate. Clean and a tad of lube may do it. Could be ratchet itself worn or the pawl that catches in it has gone/worn. When learning to drive a long time ago I was taught to pull brake up with thumb on button and...

The BFG AT’s on my disco 1 were the best tyres I’ve had. They had excellent wear and Road holding for a Land Rover. I’ve currently got Cooper ATR’s on my 90 and they are all terrain but with a slightly more Road-biased pattern and again last well...

Having a partially seized UJ in the steering results in a knotchy feel when you turn the steering, bit scary when it starts when driving at speed.[ I know that] The force to move the swivel [ in my old manual a fishing scale is used pulling on...

Have in recent times had little grandchildren to transport I have to say that todays child/baby seats are rather large when compered to plastic bucket baby one of 35 years ago. Modern cars have a built in system to lock in child seats so you will...

Swivel pin load and steering joints it is then, good luck.
