    Key\barrel number

    Did a search for this but couldn't find anything, so apologies if it has been asked before. I have no keys for the door locks on my 90. It is a 1986 lift up handle model. I have found a guy on ebay who can cut keys if I give him the barrel/key number. My question is I'm not sure where I find...

    experiences with bluetooth head unit?

    Not used one, but I'd be amazed if anyone could hear me in my 90.

    newbie.. looking for buying advice.. and what its like to live with

    I'd agree, most of us probably started with a Series and have owned various forms of Land Rovers since. The first one I owned was a Series 3 109. It did about 45 flat out, I was constantly repairing it and it was like steering a barge. But it's the Landy that got me hooked and put the biggest...

    newbie.. looking for buying advice.. and what its like to live with

    Mate, that's a 1982 88" Series, not a 90. They are very different to own on a day to day basis. I have had series and 90 Landys and have to say I'd struggle to go back to a series as my daily drive. I know I will get slated for saying that.

    thinking of buying 110csw

    Depends how much you want to spend and what you want to use it for, if you are after a minter and don't mind spending over the odds, got the dealer route. If you are looking for a landy to use as a landy should be used, I'd take my time and buy privately. You do get the odd gem on ebay or I...

    I've heard the guy selling that one is worse than Yan from Bolton.

    thinking of buying 110csw

    Every Landy I have owned has been noisey, cramped, knocked about and slow. But I wouldn't have any other 4x4 on the drive. Plus they're about the only vehicle I am still able to work on, no stupid electronics.

    Buying a 90 pick up

    Difficult to put a price on a Landy without seeing it. I assume it's a tdi? Rot on the chassis is the biggest problem to look out for. Check the bulk head as well and given the mileage I'd be keen to look though any paperwork to see how often it has been serviced. Mechanically they tend to be...

    Any new year resolutions for your beloved?

    Sell my 90 and buy a 110 csw.

    anybody fitted these?

    Had these in the back of my last two 90's. The previous one was a hard back and I used a std seat belt mounted to the rear corner pieces. My current 90 has a canvas and so I have used 4 point seat belts mounted to the floor. I know seats are a hotly covered topic on this site, but it is worth...

    90 advise, older the wiser :)

    A lifted Landy is never as nice to drive on the road as one on std set up. and as per previous replies one on std springs and shocks will very rarely let you down off road.

    Disco ES Alloys on D plate 90

    Worth mentioning the turning circle is ****e with the alloys on, only reason I can see to have them is for looks, not everyones bag I know.

    Here's a pic, not sure of these are the same as you are looking at?

    Disco ES Alloys on D plate 90

    Hi, got them on my C plate 90, had to fit spacers on the front as they don't sit flush against the hubs. I've got drums on the back and they fit fine. Only thing I have had to do is take the wheel centres out.

    Fitting Freestyle wheels

    Fitted them on my 1986 90, used spacers on the front and popped out the centres on all four. Wheel spacers seem to be pretty expensive, but got some new ones off eaby for about £20 and seem to be perfect.

    Freestyle wheels on a Defender

    got them on mine and have rear drums, just had to remove the plastic centres from the wheels. Turning is crap though as the offset is not good.

    dislocation cones?

    Had jubilee clips on mine for years, no issues. Also used heavy duty cable ties in the past, again did the job fine. Cheers

    tdi transfer box rattle

    Is the Lt77 used in 200 TDi defenders and Discos? The reason I ask is my 90 has had a tdi fitted but not sure of it's origin. What's the easiest way to identify the box I have? Cheers Daz
