My third switch controls the interior light, but thats on a 92 Jplate D90. Is it a 2 or 3 way switch? Someone else will know for sure... Chris

Just took my 1996 V8 ES auto out on the lanes for the first time. Thouroughly enjoyde the experience of off-roading in luxury but am a little concerned; the switch panel behind the gear selector and handbrake was getting extremely warm/hot. The engine temp gauge stayed roughly half way through...

Giles, why not tip the white spirit into your tank then add the 25ltrs? It'd be well mixed and would save wasting any? Chris

Depends on how much you're looking to spend? I just picked up a series 1 (1996) V8 ES model Disco for £5K. I will spend another £1300 to convert it to run dual fuel (LPG (@ 38p per litre) and petrol), which will mean that it will be cheaper to run than a diesel version. The ES has all the...

I have a mantec fitted to my d90 200tdi and regularly achieve 25-6mpg, which is what I was getting prior to fitting; this is with MTs, winch, rollcage, underbody plating (all of which adds some serious weight to the vehicle). No harm done there then!!! Chris

The cruise on my 96 V8 ES won't select at all; any ideas there? Chris

Thanks guys.

Let us know how it goes in the 110? Chris

Increase in mpg is the other big boon with fitting an overdrive; that and having conversations with any passengers you may have!!! Chris

As well as the haynes manual look for the 'You and your defender' book by haynes. This gives a wealth of info on different models, engines, mods, what to look for and where; really valuable book, much better than the mags simply because it has all the info in one place. Dewils80 has a good...

Most older landrovers will benefit from having their cooling system uprated. When towing you are placing extra strain on both the engine and transmission, which generates more heat. I would say to go with it but shop around for quotes. Try a couple of independent garages and maybe look...

I have a set of Bronco Amazons (remoulds) on my defender 90 and they are superb. Speed rated up to 105mph (not that I'll ever see that happen), quiet on tarmac with good handling, self cleaning tread that works, and very good off road performance in all but the very worst mud. Best of all...

The MoD used to spend a small fortune trying to waterproof it's petrol engines, then changed its entire fleet to diesel!!! Sorry I can't comment on the dizzy waterproofing, I've heard it can be done though I've no idea what degree of success it comes with. Let us know how you get on, having...

I have just watched the BBC lunchtime news, more specifically their article regarding the closure of several vehicular rights of way within the Dales. As a disabled user of Landrover products I am outraged that this authority is allowed to exercise such blatant prejudice against me. I would...

Composite engineering; its the only thing worth using for the removal of excess resins (epoxy or poly) and you buy it in BIG drums!!! Try marine suppliers or boat builders... Chris

The steering consists of a great many components, all of which must be accurately adjusted to work in synch. Start off by checking the condition of the steering damper, if you don't get lucky there then get a garage to check the pre-loading on the steering swivels (not really a diy job)...

Its a simple switch (called a park switch) that is housed alongside the motor; cost to replace is approx £12. Don't replace the whole motor as if your wipers are still moving its still working. Did mine about two months ago, quick 5minute job, part number is 520160 (for a 1992 defender 90)...

Hey Norm, Check out goldenfuels.com for info on running your vehicle on 100% veggie oil. Also, there are a large number of motor manufacturers who are now certifying their newest diesel engines to be run on these fuels; can't comment on your specific vehicle though. Chris
